I liked a quip I read on twitter t'other day from a guy in Portsmouth:

Can't wait for the Olympic torch, last time people were brandishing burning torches in Pompey was after a NotW article by Rebekah Brooks"

Sarcasm helps keep you from telling people what you really think of them.

Got to say really enjoyed popping down the village yesterday to see it come past and was fairly amazed at how many people turned out, lucky it passed around 2 miles from our front door :-)

I'd rather have the 90 grand that one is currently going for !

Gotta be a fake bid surely? What are they made from? :?

I was lucky enough to see the olympic torch when I was on holiday in Thassos just before the 2004 Athens games, there was a local athlete from the island competing in them so they let him carry it, was literally close enough to touch it. :)

EDIT: just read this "Olympic torchbearers can buy their torch for £215 (they cost London 2012 £495) and are free to sell"
