unlinkedstudent Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Not me, that's for sure; unless, of course, I could wear a T shirt saying "NO TO VIKING ENERGY". Honestly, I said to hubby that I deffo had to get out of London prior to the games in 2012. They reckon that by bringing the torch to Scotland that everyone in Scotland will "Get behind the games". Oh yeah? Many of the jobs, despite being promised to locals, have gone elsewhere. However, my old Mayor of Newham reckoned everyone in Newham was backing the games being held in the Borough (Despite the fact we were never asked). So we're all totally backing the games, are we? Personally, at tickets to events being on average way beyond my means (And many others, I suspect) plus the fare to get there, plus buying a few cans/bottles for the ex-neighbour's sofa I'd be kipping on, I can't afford it. Watch it on telly - no thanks, would rather watch paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think it's great that the Olympic torch is coming to Shetland. Okay, it'll look pretty paltry compared to the heavier, brighter torches carried en-mass by our athletic local stalwarts during the Up Helly Aa procession, but we mustn't judge our less ambitious foreign cousins...

(T for torch, get it)? Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just saw it now on the BBC news. Who's going to carry it? Will the torch be travelling through the independant state of Forvik as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafynandrew Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Just saw it now on the BBC news. Who's going to carry it? Will the torch be travelling through the independant state of Forvik as well? I don't think Forvik actually exists any more.......Something to do with the deeds to the island or maybe it got blown away lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaz Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I reckon its a positive thing. The usual suspects who are moaning will probably moan still if the torch never got past Orkney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Royal Weddings....Olympics....whatever..... I really don't see the point, or relevance. If anybody can find any "meaning" in getting excited over either, fill yer boots by all means, but complete disinterest here. P.S. In this day and age, shouldn't the Olympic torch be a low energy bulb powered by a solar panel and a peerie windmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
