The glorious 6th

Now there's a thing. 6 July - the International Olympic Committee decides who will host the 2012 games. 6 July the G8 leaders meet in Gleneagles.

Front runners for the games - London and Paris.

G8 leaders who have just had a diplmatic spat over EU budget negotiations and who generally don't get on - Tony and Jacques.

This is gonna be great. The winner will gloat in front of the world's media. The loser will have to offer magnanimous congratulations with teeth more gritted than an Icelandic motorway in winter.

Let the games begin!
