The final flame...

Yes Steve....I know, but when your other half clings to the remote control like it is the liferaft of the sinking titanic...you really don't have such a wide choice...well, other than leave the room...but I can still hear his cheers and spurring on shouts up here.......does my box it...it really does.

If he likes sport that much, he should come on the Clayton End with me and Cashy! Never mind, perhaps he won't be so enthusiastic about the para-olympics! ;)
 
Well it was the Nazi's who first started running long distance with an Olympic flame, it was a local thing in Ancient Greece but the Nazi's where the first to make it into a big ceremony...carried through to this day.
:rolleyes:


Carl Diem (born June 24, 1882, Würzburg – December 17, 1962, Cologne) was a German sports administrator, and as Secretary General of the Organizing Committee of the Berlin Olympic Games, the chief organizer of the 1936 Olympic Summer Games (sometimes referred to as the "Nazi Olympics").
He created the tradition of the Olympic torch relay when he organised the 1936 build-up event, and was an influential historian of sport, particularly the Olympic games.
Your problem is you've too much time on your hands, take up gardening or somat;)
 
What! Let him come to the footy with you and Cashy....you'd be letting all my secrets out:D....that would never do!
Yeh gotta be kidding Margaret, Accyweb aint on the agenda at such auspicious gatherings.;):D n you probably are aware of that fact, yeh just wish himself to keep his good name. lol
 
I'm just REALLY glad it is finally coming to an end.
Yes, yes, I know the sportsmen and women have done GB proud...I just don't like sport.......and hate the wall to wall coverage.

It's been good - very good though I'm not mad on sports myself enjoyed some of it - and it won't happen in this country again in our life times.
