How did they keep it alight on the plane over?

I'm only watching for one reason and that is to see David Beckham!!

 

[vegster]

David " You Know " Beckham still manages to talk fluent footballese....

 

[Lady Gull]

At least it ignited!!!!

Looks like the flame was transferred into a lantern I think for the flight.

David Beckham now looks like Mr Catchpole from Rentaghost!

Ah, right, cheers

I like Beckham and hope he plays for the GB team as it will really mean something to him.

It's a shame some of our other "superstars" don't have the same attitude.

Its amazing the number of people who failed to obtain tickets to events are going to turn out to watch the flame go by,Coe has really sold them a pup,imagine the thrill their grandchildren will get when they see the photograph of the flame,the same people no doubt will be queing to see the firework display at the end of the games,big deal!

If you were watching Sky Sports for your sports news you wouldn't know the Olympics were on. If its not on SS 1,2,3 or 4 it's obviously not happening.

I work with many Londerners and they were all charged an extra £20 on poll tax since 2006 to build the stadiums, with the promise of preferential tickets.

Did they get the tickets? Did they bollocks!!!

Shame the Olympic Flame isn't surrounded by a crack team of ninja bodyguards like the Beijing one was

What would the Brit equivalent be? WELL?

I know London is shit, but I never realised it was that backwards it still had poll tax.
