    Or more likely a nuke judging by the overreaction. A mistake and a clumsy one, but only a mistake nontheless.

    The problem is after doing the security debacle to death, the media haven't got much else to report on just yet. I hope to God the opening ceremony goes without a hitch otherwise we're never going to hear the end of it. Or at least until the closing ceremony.

    Give us all the details lamballana, what's going to happen, who's lighting the flame etc. We won't tell anyone, honest.

    Please le god it is nothing like as pathetic as the UK's part in the closing ceremony of 2008. If Beckham must be involved keep him away from a bloody football, just for starters.

    I really still don't know who is lighting the flame.

    It'll probably be David Beckham [or lord help us, his bloody wife] or Steve Redgrave. Maybe Bradley Wiggins, as a tribute to his Tour De France triumph.

    Personally, I'd like to see Steve Ovett again.

    Ovett or Daley would be good. Gut feeling is it will be Redgrave.

    As these games are the "Environmental Sustainability Games" I have it on good authority that the guy from the local recycling centre will be lighting the flame. Resplendant in his Burberry baseball cap he lights the flame to a chorus of "you can't put that flame in there mate, it goes in that one over there" from a choir of similarly dressed oiks drinking tea in a converted container at the side of the stadium.

    I'm right lamballana aren't I?

    Think on the scale of things any representatives of North Korea deserve a bit of winding up.

    They should've put the UN flag up, THAT would have pissed them right off.

    It's more closely allied to West Ham!
