@ Garadene - you are right of course - I was trying to think of a ridiculously small country to make the point and I chose badly!!!! Think Andorra, Lichtenchtein ?? the vatican, Narnia.....the point Im making which I dont think is lost on you that whoever throws their hat into the ring as a candidate is almost going to be ahead of Qatar right from the word go.........seriously, the bid has less chance than the olympic bid which was, at best, ridulously optimistic. But hey, lets not be overly pessimistic - let us wait until millions have been spent on the bid and then Qatar is binned in the first round of assessment - then the nationals can all be made to feel like pieces of cheese - honestly, they do set themselves up for a fall!!!
