Super-rich spending up to $500,000 on exclusive Paris Olympics packages
As any fule kno going to Paris in August is a terrible waste of time and money. Therefore this is a great method of increasing equality. The rich will have $500k less, others will have $500 k a more and nothing of value will have changed hands to make it so.
Sounds like a plan, eh?
I wouldn’t give a fuck if it wasn’t that the drooling morons ruling Queensland have decided that the 2032 Olympics will take place HERE in Brisbane.
The organisation still seems to be a shambles. So I naturally tremble in terror at the thought of how much money this damn nonsense is going to cost ME!!!!!!
You Brits wouldn’t rescue me by having the damn things take place in London, would you???
Potentially very smelly too…

“… going to Paris in August is a terrible waste of time and money.”
Bit too specific there. It’s not just August.
For HHGG Douglas Adams conceived the antarean parakeet gland to make exactly this point.

Mon dieu! Cannot they hire replacement garbagemen from the diversity they have imported to do jobs the French just won’t do?
At one time I used to live in Paris. Happy memories. It was an entirely different city from the one I now drive the west coast route north/south to avoid being anywhere near. Thank heavens Bordeaux’s still marginally habitable
@BoganBoy we Saffers were lucky enough to host World Cup 2010 as a result of which we have numerous derelict stadia dotted around the country today.

You expect the diversity to work?
MG, I doubt the law would allow it. It is still La Belle France after all…
Sorry, I was going to use the sarcasm font, but there seems to be a shortage of sarcastic electrons these days. Probably due to global catastrophic climate change and racism.
