Olympic Torch
I'm sure people will see the first runner Ben Ainslie carry the torch today - well the bloke who you see light the torch is a mate of mine!

Who Will be the last to carry it in the stadium
Please tell me we have more imagination than to give it to David beckham (I am sure he is a nice guy and all that)
But c'mon we must be able to think of a alternative

What a complete and utter b0llox it all is.
That ugly horse-faced biatch carrying a miner's lamp with it INSIDE an aircraft, and they expect us to believe it never goes out, even accidentally?
And what's it cost? What COULD we have done with the money?

What a complete waste of money. Our council says in the local paper everyweek that its broke- but it suddenly finds thousands and thousands to lay on a "free" ceromony concert and all the associated staff/support costs.

It's a total shambles on the roads around here
roads jammed solid with cars, roads having to be closed all so some fools can run around with some fire in their hands. I think I will put the car away and take to the beer garden this afternoon.

I really do wish 1 of the other countries had got it.
Whilst I would never wish this on the athletes thmselves as I know how hard I train for my sport, I really am going to pish myself if we come away with 0 golds.

Surely it can only be Sir Steve?
No one else comes close to Olympic achievements as his, in this country.

I read somewhere that there are 30 full time police officers running alongside (in shifts) to guard from terrorism, And that they were going to be offered councelling /support because of being away from their families for up to 2 months.
Must cost a few bob!
