Who will light the torch tonight inside the stadium?

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I see the bookies have made Steve Redgrave the favourite to light the official flame inside the stadium tonight. Would be dreadfully dull

My money's on some sort of double act involving a local kid and The Beckham...??

 

[MORTY]

John Terry

 

[TottonSeagull]

Mitt Romney

 

[leigull]

Mr Blobby would be entertaining

 

[Hillian1]

John Terry

 

[zeetha]

The Queen

 

[Postman Pat]

Bookies have stopped taking bets on Roger Bannister after loads of cash was lumped on him last night.

 

[Woodchip]

Steve Ovett, just to really piss off Seb Coe.

 

[Was not Was]

Hard to see past Bannister or Redgrave.

Tanni GT would be good but would look a bit 'token'.

Beckham would look trivial.

In a way, it'd be great if it were a local kid, but I wouldn't put money on that.

Anyway, nothing could top Ali at Atlanta, could it?

 

[Wardy]

I know who it is but cannot tell you. Anyway need to go, got to get to the Olympic Stadium to practice lighting the flame.


Ooops

 

[Was not Was]

Unless .... what persuaded Vicente to stay was an offer to light the flame tonight?

 

[Wardy]

On a more serious note I liked the idea of Mathew Pinsent. Let the first baby who was born after the announcement that we had won light it.

 

[ees complicated no?]

It's Becks (well thats my guess) as in a interview the other day he said hes got a special role at the start of the Olympics but couldnt say what.

Please no - anyone but - Surely should be someone with an Olympic pedigree, probably holding a child representative of East London by the hand

 

[SurreySeagulls]

You can rule me out as I have not been asked.

 

[MattBackHome]

Absolute scandal if it's not Paul Danan.

 

[countryman]

Mr Blobby would be entertaining

As long as he doesn't bring Noel Edmonds with him.

 

[The Large One]

As long as he doesn't bring Noel Edmonds with him.

Oh, I don't know.

I'm sure his beard makes for good kindling.

Repeating this?
