lcfcadam Posted 15 March 2011 Posted 15 March 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12749912 The digital clock in central London which has been counting down to the 2012 Olympics has stopped, less than 24 hours after it started counting down.The timer was unveiled in a ceremony in Trafalgar Square on Monday, to mark the 500th day before next year's Games. But the 6.5m (21ft) display has now become stuck on 500 days and 7:06:56. "We are obviously very disappointed that the clock has suffered this technical issue," said a spokesman for the Swiss-based Swatch Group. "The OMEGA London 2012 countdown clock was developed by our experts and fully tested ahead of the launch in Trafalgar Square," he added. "We are currently looking into why this happened and expect to have the clock functioning as normal as soon as possible." Four British Olympic champions launched the clock at 1930 GMT on Monday. Fireworks went off as rowers Pete Reed and Andy Hodge were joined by sailors Iain Percy and Andrew Simpson. The 500-day mark has also seen the launch of the official ticketing website for the Games, with fans now given six weeks to apply for the events they hope to see next year. I mean, really? When is something going to actually go right in relation to these games? (mind you at least it shows the Swiss aren't completely perfect... )

lcfcadam Posted 15 March 2011 Author Posted 15 March 2011 What else has gone wrong? Logo. Stadium controversy. Funding problems. Several aspects behind schedule. The fact we got it in the first place
