I still need to try Pizza GoGo. I just can't be arsed.
This is actually a really good bid presentation. They're stressing the huge financial support they have in Tokyo.
21 major corporate sponsors already signed up.

Madrid next up. They start in ten minutes time.
Christ it's dark outside! Very ominous looking cloud! It's going to absolutely piss down very shortly!
Going out tonight.Yeah, it doesn't look good.
Speaking of weather, I saw yesterday that it'll be the slowest start to a hurricane season on record if one doesn't start in the next ten days. What are the bets on America getting hit by one next week?

They'll be hit with a big one at some point.

Not necessarily. You don't get big hurricanes that hit land every season.
No of course not, but they're usually pretty unlucky. It's a pretty big landmass to hit as well.
But not all of the landmass is vulnerable to hurricanes of course. You should have said it's a pretty big coastline to hit. And even not all the coastline is vulnerable. Big hurricanes won't occur in the North Atlantic as the sea is too cold.
Yeah, when I said landmass I did mean coastline, or more, that area of the US. It's still quite a large area, but you're right, not particularly significant when compared to the size of the rest of the USA. They do still seem to have yearly(ish) big ones though, I'd be surprised if the season passed without anything.
Oh so would I, just not the size of Katrina or Sandy.
