What think ye?

Royal Shakespeare is the pick of them for me; the Velodrome may be favourite but unlike every other project here it is a shadow of what it could have been thanks to cut backs; in fact the entire Olympic park has not translated from the renders; Bejing is the last wow Olympics we will see until Qatar win it!!!
