The official site of the Lodnon 2102 Oimplycs features news and views from an alternate reality London Games, as well as interesting news stories, such as the fact that the wine merchant Oddbins will give a discount to people who carry and use products from the arch-rivals of the official Olympic sponsors, because " any business without the tens of millions of pounds required to join the cabal of multinational brand partners for the Games are reduced to the status of beggars on the gilded streets of the Olympic movement."

Welcome to the official Lodnon 2102 Oimplycs site.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

      Too fast. You are required to undergo a drugs test before the award of your ribbon can be verified.

    The Lodnon Oimplycs logo looks better than the London Olympics logo. You know it’s true.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      Cat sick looks better than the London Olympics logo. But then, the Jubilee logo was pretty horrible, too. Have all the good designers fled the UK or are the panjandrums giving the design contracts to their relatives?
