is there a thread about these olympic torch larks?

maybe.

anyway...perhaps you don't agree....but i think it's a bit cheeky to get huffy about these people selling their torches and whatnot....trading on their hallowed olympic status for finanacial gain, etc etc.

when this happens

athletes continually trading on their status as holy ambassadors of legacydom to rake in the big bucks.

anyway. there's 800 of these torches right?

eventually they'll be getting hawked in boozers up and down the land.

'wanna torch mate?'

'how much?'

'score?'

'go on mate, missus might want it for the garden'

i dunno.
