The olympic torch extinguished in Paris

[needahand]

I say well done France. And well done to all the protesters in London yesterday too.

they put it out themselves though didn't they, to get on a bus. was it alight on the bus yesterday?

China must be loving this

oh off to check the news
and i too echo your sentiments nah

ooh, my dp is ranting about this olympic flame malarky on his Rlog (rant blog) i must update him...

your initials are nah... brilliant!

I agree.
I felt so embarassed watching Connie Huq (sp?) bleating about the big bad man trying to steal her torch.
Silly mare.

Still isn't there an old tale that if the torch is extinguished the games can't happen or have to be rescheduled or I am just wishful thinking?

Whether it was on purpose or not, it is still groundbreaking news and as a result of the protests which in any event is good

Konnie Huq have you seen her chairing those London Mayoral Election debates Jeremy? It's been excruciating. She is hopeless.
Allez la France

the flame is always alight though...the torches just carry it but the flame is kept burning in a litle case somewhere i believe

good

[exasperated with Whole Thing)

God yeah, was talking to DP about it this morning, we both whinced the whole way through the mayoral debate. I dislike the kids to adult crossovers at the best of times but there is something particularly grating and disingenuous about KH.

at coppers on skates!

i just saw them on the bbcnews - they look right daft on them skates. i sort of like the torch 'protector's' though they always look so worried.
