Make yer own Olympic Torch Growler stylee:
Take one sachet of sauce from cafe table.
Fumble with it until you run out of patience.
Remove ciggy lighter from pocket.
Click lighter into action and apply flame to sauce sachet.  whistle:

Sorted now anyway, but thanks so much for all the helpful info.

Apparently the useless flame IS going up on the train next Tuesday at 10:00am, but WILL NOT BE VIEWABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
Don't actually know if I should roll on the floor with laughter or scream at the actual real stupidity and ridiculousnous of the situation.

I really do not believe that someone could have actually made this up. eeek:

The only logical reason I can therefore come to the conclusion of for its non viewable appearance at the summit, is to set that monstocity of a visitor center on fire.

The "Flame" being carried by runners to the site of the games (i.e "The Torch Relay") was invented by the Nazis for the 1936 Berlin Games.
I can see no reason why anyone in the UK would want to perpetuate that particular "tradition".

Just coz something was invented/started by the Nazis doesn't automatically mean it's a bad idea.  rubschin:

Though unfortunately in this case we seem to have forgotten the 'KISS' principle.

I shall have a look.  Not the camera, down the road... I passed some of the traffic on the way home.  It seems that it is on my MY roads.    evil:

I AM actually absolutely fuckin blazingly furious, as I was wrongly led to believe that the Olympic Flame was quite catergorically NOT going to be able to be viewed by the general sheeple up there.

So, you turgid breath wasting fuckin' rancid mis-leading arse HOLES.... WTF IS THIS THEN EY, YOU UTTER UTTER UTTER BASTRDS!? Explode:
