How can we get ready for 2012?

Lay the foundation for two weeks' sick leave
Pray it doesn't rain
Make tea-drinking an Olympic sport
Plug the gaping hole in the budget
Build a separate London for the tourists
Ensure Stratford isn't as late as Wembley was
Make everyone forget how great Beijing 2008 was
Start our own tacky-souvenir factories
Prevent our taking the "plucky loser" mantle back
Find a Brit to win Olympic gold while standing up
