Who will be lighting the Olympic flame? Started by FatBloke in The Pub

The clue is in the topic.

Unless you are talking about a flame started by someone else?

I think it'll be Steve Redgrave or Roger Bannister, but I think it should be Daley.

The Grauniad has a piece showing that the odds are shortening on it being Brenda.

Of course, it could be her daughter, former horsewoman Anne Alice Elizabeth Louise Windsor.

It should be the only surviving British Gold Medallist from 1948.

No, the other Daley.

One of my colleagues said something the other day about fancying Tom Daley. All I could say was "but he's nine!" Nooooooooooooo.

I'm old enough to be his mother therefore he's too young. And I'd much rather have the other one. Although of course Bobb would always be my first choice.

Bobb lighting the Olympic flame... YESSS!

Yeah, he could just light a cigarette and flick the match into the cauldron, very casually.

Has he been practising casually tossing a lit Zippo over his shoulder?

I read that as ' a dalek'.

Now, THERE'S an idea!

You know, when he said he was off to a party in Milton Keynes this weekend and wouldn't around for skyping, I believed him. But now, now I think he's doing something else!

Or the TARDIS could materialise next to the cauldron and the Doctor could nip out and then dematerialise away.

Now if they were getting David Tennant to light it, I'd be interested!

Someone on Radio 2 (I think it was, it might have been Magic, I was stuck in the car for long enough that I varied channels a bit) suggested that it ought to be Dr Who who lit the flame as it was him in one of the Dr Who episodes-otherwise there might be a rift in the time/space continuum

I was about to suggest 007 would be lighting the flame, and then up he pops on the telly!
