now there's a surprise..

[sp1814]

He's the very LAST person who could sort you out with tickets.

Think about it.

[Philtaz]

Go on then sp1814, you've got me stumped.

Why would an Olympic official, claiming to have up to 100 tickets to Olympic events be the LAST person who could provide me with tickets?

Well, because he was the subject of a BBC News investigation which was broadcast to the entire nation last night, plus it's on their website.

If you were him, would you still be selling tickets (which is against the law)?

Nope - you'd be slamming the phone down on any enquiries along those lines.

Maybe you're missing the gist and sarcasm of the OP itself sp1814......

[Baldric]

phil, there are no shades of grey in SPs world!

[sp1814]

What's the point of posting the question in the first place?

It wasn't even funny.

[Philtaz]

Because it was a note of sarcasm on a topical subject.
However you viewed it sp1814 it captured enough of your attention to post a (rather poor IMHO) reply.

Perhaps it's more gentle humour ('Last Of The Summer Wine'), rather than laugh out loud humour ('30 Rock').
