2012 party poppers cancelled

Post by mugman »

Sorry. I'm not anti-patriotic, but just couldn't resist posting this newsflash...
News has just come in that the party poppers, significantly all 2012 of them, which were ordered for the opening of the 2012 London Olympics, have been cancelled. Colleagues sitting close to Seb Coe at the opening ceremony of the Beijing games have said that Mr. Coe was heard to have said under his breath several times, as the spectacle unfolded, "Bugger".
It is intended to recoup the £122 cost through other funds, providing the key to the petty cash box can be found in time. The cucumber sandwiches may also be aborted.

I suggest moving the actual venue of the 2012 Olympics to Paris (near France), where party poppers will be welcomed with open arms (& water cannon!). As for the sandwiches, we'll keep those in the fridge - away from the snails! :shock:
