we could always just outsource it, then blame them when it all goes wrong. Seems to be another tradition of London that gets us of the hook.

Good idea, let's outsource it all to Paris.

By 2012 we won't be able to have naked flames in public just in case someone lights their cigarette or, I don't know, looks at the thing !!!!!

Nanny state anyone.

They will probably get David Beckam or another "symbol of britain" to light it, probably with him hoofing the ball into the torch.

Better not have another "problem with the penatly spot"

More likely to be Abu Hamza, he defines "our wide multi-cultural" country etc.

I was going to put him, but how would he light the torch with no arms or depth perception?

Perhaps he'll use an incendiary suicide bomb? We can but hope.

He is a civil engineer, glorified brickie

(take no notice of me, I am a grumpy electrical engineer)

Olympic ceremonies are always barmy and a load of rubbish

I loved it - real carnival. Not like there was any worthwhile alternative on the TV anyway! Besides, it would be a boring old world if we didn't get to see this sort of stuff.

Loved the flying dudes, they rocked!

I do hope they don't make some overplayed statement about our country's wonderful multi-culturalness, it will make me want to barf

Especially with the Olympics being in East London... well, don't get your hopes up

LOL. I guarantee it will be so politically correct with the representative percentages of blacks, asians and disabled people that you will want to puke.

I suspect that the Olympic torch will be carried into the stadium by a black lesbian dolphin with one flipper struggling under the weight of the arts council grant given to her by a focus group.

Are you kidding. That was the crux of our olympic bid, it was all about how multi cultural we are etc. Vomit inducing really. Why can't we be proud of being who we are and our history? The naval re-enactment blue on red was a disgrace.

If only it wasn't true.

You forgot to menion that said Dolphin would be a lone parent, accomonied by her ADHD, victim of bullying, misunderstood child.
