      How many companies have so far blamed the olympics

for latest poor results?   Nuplex, tourism holdings, michael hill

jewellers, air new zealand and uncle tom cobbly and all.

  you name it they are all blaming the olymics for

something. 

         Tourism holdings is probably the most ironic, a couple of years

ago they were touting the olympics as a factor which was going to

propel the company upwards, now the olympics is responsible for

all their problems.

       Which other companies will be using the olympics as an excuse

in the next few weeks?  Whats the betting that even advantage group

will manage to blame the olympics for something.
