Its a gold stick with a flame on the end of it in case you missed it and wanted to know, you haven't missed much.

Its a marvellous example of how good media bullting can create an event out of a non-event, its got bugger-all to do with the Olympics at all, the idea of parading a symbolic flame around the country for several weeks is a wonderful PR concoction that is supposed to gell the population into forgetting that nearly ten billion quid has been spent on two and a half weeks of sporting events, some of which you actually wouldn't go to the end of your street to watch or would switch the TV off if they were shown individually - how many have actually sat through an archery competition on TV, no, not many, and do you know which league your local badminton club play in ?

Great PR to get so many people out onto the streets - non event though, and they'd better not delay my journey to work in the morning either.

If getting a horse to prance about on tip-toes while wearing a posh coat is in the Olympics then I can't see why Grand Theft Auto shouldn't be.

Quote: JerryChicken "My brother coaches RU at junior level and of course they also have to ref at that level too, his solution to gobby parents having a go at him or the kids is to blow the whistle, stop the game and then walk over to the guilty party, hand them the whistle, wave them onto the pitch and not say a word to them - no-one has yet taken up the invitation, all have shut up
try u15 football. Constantly shouting at the ref then moaning when we don't get decisions that i as home manager wouldn't give. And worse
