Torch came through my high street today. Was in my car and a policeman shouted at me "STOP! WAIT HERE!" with a stern look. Thought he was going to book me. I was like 'OK :eek: ' . I was stopped in the middle of the road but eventually parked up in a loading bay. Awesome atmosphere. :)

I want The Stig (he's an athlete of sorts) to light the cauldron while power sliding across the track in an Ariel Atom trailing fireworks. It's the only thing that can possibly balance out the London Olympics from being remembered as being the most boring, uninspired and in poor taste games in history.

If any of you are bored enough to watch the opening ceremony; I spent the last few months making the Olympic cauldron which is revealed at the end... You might even see me lurking about under the stage.

Gotta say, so far the opening is impressive. Shame about that one dude continually going "unf unf unf, fap fap fap" though.

Ok it's getting boring now! Daniel Craig did not deliver. He should've snapped someone's neck in two.

I'm waiting for the goth's cauldron. That's the only thing that kept me watching, but I may just turn it off now.

is Avaggdu isn't going to crawl out of it? (not sure if Danny Boyle is a fan of Slaine - 2000AD) :p


I'm a bit disappointed we never got a Dr Who reference... maybe at the end. I'm debating whether to record this and fast forward through the marching athletes tomorrow.

I didn't see it. They took bloody 15 minutes to march the A countries alone, so by the time they hit B, I turned it off.
