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"

| 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" |

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

Was looking at ebay earlier this morning and PICTURES of a torch were going for hundreds of pounds, although you didn't know it was a pic until you read the small print. I see the seller has now put it in big red letters that it is a picture that is being sold.

Since the Olympics is, in a large part, about big business cashing in, then it seems entirely fitting.

Its not really an "investement" though is it ?
I can understand someone wanting one as a memento but I suspect that many of those bidding are doing so in the hope that they will be worth a lot more in a short number of years - they may need reminding that the Olympic torch that they are buying is potentially one of 8000 - hardly a limited edition.

Dunno about that, me camera's an Olympus E1 and given the way LOCOG's lawyers have been shooting from the hip, I daren't risk falling foul of them.
The torches were a doddle though, a bit of perforated zinc plate and the guts from an old Camping Gaz stove, Job's a good 'un
