Is there no bandwagon full of pretension that Messrs Bodfish, Bassam and Fanshaw won't jump on?

No sooner has London declared its intention to host the 2012 Olympics than these three stooges start flapping around saying Brighton and Hove could host some of the events.

I hate to burst their bubble but Brighton can't even organise a simple matter such as its own football ground.

Another idea right up there with the European City of Culture bid.
