Henley - and No, i am not the streaker - but respect due to that man. Makes my brief wave of my Tibetan Flag in Holywood last month look very tame.

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

... and then back to Athens to be reignited by the suns rays sometime in 2016? Far as I know, it's just the fleg that's gone to Rio.Rooster wrote:Why ? does it not stay for the Paralympic games ?HwoodMike2umate wrote:On the way to Rio - updates to follow shortly.

Do they not just turn off the gas in a 'right were done with that' sort of way and hope the Greeks can afford to light another one for Rio? (de Janeiro, not Ferdinand)
Not that Rio or any other Manchester United scumbag would light up................

Tuned in to Channel 4 about 11.30pm last night and caught the end of the opening ceremony - impressive - especially the arrival of the Torch.
It hasnt gone away you know. PS i wonder every time the Torch passed a Church in it's travels around the UK were folk quiet?
