Shami Chakrabati - yeh
This. This with a vengeance.
Ali the king
Goddam Mohammed Ali!
Goosebumps.
Ali, so sad...
Ali is in bad shape
That looks cruel on Ali.
Up hill marching
I can't believe they kept Ali up past midnight.
His nurse has strong arms!
___________
Pies.
Is shami hot?
I'm getting close to ****ing this off, going to bed and watching it on the PVR in the morning, how much longer? I'm up ealry (for a saturday) for a ride and I need my beauty sleep!
And Now, before we light the flame, this tone-deaf 6 year old girl, will attempt to play Green Sleeves, on the recorder...
God I so want a job where I can wear jackboots. How fabulously do they finish off a uniform?!
What a miserable tune. Needs shots of yorkshire poverty to go with it
Bleeeeeuuuuurrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!

Aye, sad state of affairs for Ali

You certainly do.
Beckham looks like David Brent
good god they're letting him operate fire, is that safe?
STEEEEEEEEEVVVEEEEE!!!!
Should have been Daley Thompson 🙁
Couldn't Beckham have just got the bus?
Good choice!
Sir Steve...Hellooooooooo!
Surprise surprise!!
I'll set 'em up, you knock 'em down
Cumbya next
Whooooooooooooo?!!
I can't believe they let Dave drive a speed boat!
That was brave - running up steps 2 at a time. Would have soured his legacy if he'd fallen over
She could have had some elocution lessons
Quickest thread in STW history?
"I promise we will take part in the olympic games"
soon?
The stadium is the cauldron and they're all going to burn!! 😯
Nice suit
A boxing referee promising impartiality!!!
Bill oddie has lost a few pounds
Olympism?
Jesus
Have this lot only just learned to read?
Want the crowd to start waving their lighters in the air
Why all the French?
Team GB may want to stay away from the flame in those suits.
Olympism?Jesus
Is he on the Israeli team?
Well deserved honour
Wow!!! Only just had a peek on here as we're camping, and if the mods could confirm it, it's gotta be one of the fastest growing threads on stw ever??? #twittergotnothing
Could have got Steve a top which didnt make his belly hang out
I think French is the first language of the IOC.
Line from the OH, looking at the runners with the flame: "I think I'd spazz out and trip". Have to agree with her - I think she would too

Italians - Georgio Armani
USA - Ralph Lauren
GB - Jimmy Saville?
Have to say I now cant wait to start watching the Olympics - had been non-plussed until now.
Is someone else going to light the flame then?
So much whistling...
What's all this hugging b0llo0cks?
When do the olympics start???
@ DD All of them as they could not decide
Take less time if they stopped the French AND the "ladies and gentlemen". We get it, you're speaking to us.
This has been going on for two days now, TEDIOUS! Light the damn cauldron!!
If the Queen had put on a show like this for her jubilee she'd still be a force to be reckoned with..
Gary Barlow should be locked in the tower..
Is someone else going to light the flame then?
no-one is, its just this, forever...
I'm waiting for a massive God to lean over the edge of the stadium... "GET ON WITH IT"
I'd rush the flame if I were one of those kids

I'm guessing they might be nervous 😉
Could be an age thing, but that singer on the right's bang tidy
Giant catapult!!
Nice touch with the youngsters IMO
well that was a nice touch letting the kids light it!
That's cool!
French is the language of EDF the main sponsors
That is one awesome copper cauldron.
Ohh pretty!
Long elegant stems 😯
Ahh. The copper she wees!
Oh wow great design
Cool, they're gonna fire them out over London to represent the Norman longbow archers. Or something.
AYe kids making fires and burning things it is what I think of when i think of london
very nice.
That's a hell of a cauldron. No wonder Centrica announced such massive profits yesterday.
well thats awesome
Yeah, good move getting those hopefuls to light it together. Much better than pinning it on one hero.
