Is Helen Sharman going to reprise her World Student Games torch carrying?

[Cookingfat 10]

not i give a monkeys about the flame i think olimpic ticks should go to all the unemployed people in the uk who want to go

but my biggest moan is why is it that it as to go to leeds first anything going off in yorshire its always in leeds and the BBC local news thinks leeds is the only city in yorkshire talk about biased

[57Varieties 10]

Why does anybody want to run around in circles? I stopped doing that when i left school. The only reason i did it at school is becuase i was forced into doing it, else i would be punished.

 

Reminds me of a joke Bill Hicks once said....

 

Something about Jim Fix dying of a heart attack whilst jogging and Ul Brinner with someone sat on his head, whilst drinking and smoking all day.

 

Sorry i forgot the punch line

They can't spell Ecclesall, or Balm Green - and not coming into South Sheffield at all, is that right?

I think some southerner must have heard "Balm Green" over the phone and heard it as "Baath Green"?

(A section's been duplicated on that list, the bit between the evening celebration in Barker's Pool and day 39).

Why would they want to go in to south sheffield?

Direct route to London? I thought they'd need to be going that way

[Anglersvista 10]

Typical 'forum' ers, pulling people up on spelling and grammar, rather than embracing the whole Olympic thing. I can't wait,it's the best thing that's happened in this country in ages.

Not disagreeing with you, just that if they can't even get the names of places they're going to right, what does that say about the organisational abilities? Hope they aren't using a sat nav
