olympic torch relay

[rs new boy]

is it me or is this a complete waste of time and money , should have just lit the flame at the olympic stadium with a box of swan vesta saved all the trouble
got to admit the torches are going well on ebay

[jimmer]

Yes its all bullshit and along with the olympics a waste of our tax payers money!

[lee bishop]

£24 billion quid so far for this sports day! Not bad against a £2.5 billion quoted in 2005 when it all kicked off.

That's a lot of hospitals, houses for homeless, cheaper petrol yada yada yada

[gazd]

i get to watch jennifer ennis getting all sweaty in a running outfit (figure hugging)..

well worth the money

[grum]

each to their own i say - a lot of people are getting out there to see it so they can't all be against it - hoping to see it in july when it passes the door

....... but i've always watched the olympics since i was a kid

[hotrs2000]

I think its great, like grum said, loads of people out there watching and cheering.
My Olympic tickets should be in my hand Saturday

[hotrs2000]

Speaking as someone involved in the security operation for the Games, it has been two years hard work to get to this stage and I am really looking forward to all my hard work leading to a successful, safe event. Where I am working, the local economy will benefit hugely during the event and they will have legacy of a huge amount of improvements to the local infrastructure.
We British seem to love to knock anything new. Come on chaps - enjoy it for what it is - and there's always the ladies beach volleyball for those that don't like runnin'..............
