Did I really hear mr Coe on the radio telling us all about how the olympic torch relay was a link back to ancient Greece ?

I was under the impression it was a link that went no further back than the Nazis.Comment

Lord Coe is a Tory grandee with one of the worst attendance records in parliament, at less than 10 per cent, and his name appears on the division list on only five days this year, but the government relied on him to get the NHS bill through its second reading. He is a director of AMT-Sybex Group, which is the IT supplier to the NHS, and IT is one of many areas that the bill could lead to lucrative new opportunities for health contractors.Comment

I'm certainly not. I'll be in Somerset when the torch visits Dundee. Some people might think that travelling 450 miles to avoid the nonsense surrounding the torch is (literally!) going too far, but I don't think so. See the "inanimate objects" thread for more details.Comment

if they had asked one of the queens slaves, sorry servants, to carry the torch, wouldn't that have saved a lot of hassle, and duplication?
The old girl is in town tomorrow. Yup, a whole 35 minutes with her subjects, unveil a plaque so we can all remember it in years to come, and back home to feed the corgis.
And good old Wiltshire council ("where everybody natters") is paying for 4000 flags to give away. Brilliant.
And, (I am not making this up) the traffic chaos was in full swing today at 4.00 pm.(shutting off roads without warning or notice does that pretty effectively !)I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
