An example to the world

I see from the Sunday papers the builders have admitted Wembley is never going to be ready. Anyone believe there's a chance of the 2012 Olympics being anything other than a complete shambles played out on school playgrounds and duck ponds somewhere in the south of England? To be fair, everyone said the Greeks would not be ready, yet they didn't do too badly. The Greeks do, however, have experience going back centuries, millennia even, and are known for their heroic victories against adversity. Talking of Greek heroes, does anyone know how Ajax got his name? Was it because he was very good at cleaning bathrooms?
