Bloomdido Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I read today that a gold-painted plane full of special people like Lord Coe, Boris Johnson and David Beckham has brought the Olympic flame from Greece to the UK. Greece is in the news a lot lately, something to do with going bankrupt? The Flame had seats 1 and 2 in Business Class in a specially constructed case. Behind it in seat 3 sat a Metropolitan Police fire warden. I also understand that there was a 'rehearsal flight' some time ago to make sure this one went just right. Oh, and there was a spare pilot on board just in case the other two went down with food poisoning. This is all according to the BBC. I have a couple of questions; 1. Couldn't someone have had the flam flown over on Easyjet? 2. Who is paying for all of this? 3. How will this enhance my pleasure of the Games?

Bloomdido Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 4 Who gives a **** Well clearly someone gives it 'four stars' or they wouldn't have gone to all this trouble. Is there anything else you want to share or are you feeling a little out of sorts tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane39 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 The whole charade sickens me. Those that pay for it get nowt out of it. Leave the so-called VIPs to enjoy themselves at our expense and inconvenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 And wasn't it amazing to see the relay this morning for over an hour on BBC news? I could barely contain my excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
