one of my shots shows the torch on the bus unlit, with some one below giving it the vees. Wasn't the whole torch thing started by Hitler for the 30s Berlin Olympics anyway?

Haha I can see the one you mean.

Not sure about the politics of it !!

I bet they make a blockbuster film of this farce :D

It's wrong that I found the man with the fire extinguisher hilarious, isn't it?

NO :D

I heard on the news just now that the torch had to be put out on 2 occasions.

I thought it that was not allowed ?

If so, why light it in the first place ? we would not have all this cuffle as all they seem to want to do is put the flame out anyway.

Sorted !!!! :)

The flame has to be kept alight, not the torch. So it can be transferred to a lantern (they do this on flights and at night-time) or anything else. The chances are there's another flame going that they can just re-light the torch with.

Well they were very good pics Mr Sinister. I agree with Jono.

God. What a disaster that Olympic Torch business was. Understandable and necessary though.

As for Tebbit - yeah, keep him under lock and key.

The most emotional demonstations I have ever attended were in Madrid. Against the war in Iraq when I saw Pedro Almodovar speaking - amazing man (he's an Oscar winning Spanish director btw Jono;)) and also one against ETA, who'd killed one of my neighbours a few days previously.

The Spanish love to protest, and this is a very good thing. You should never lose the passion!

I agree with you KTWWH. Trouble is in Britain, if you look at the laws already available to the state & police forces, they could if they wished more or less run the country as a police state with what's there already. Our civil liberties are being eroded faster than the East Yorks coastline, and hardly anyone will object as long as we're all kept terrified by the state and press.

I don't suppose many here will be old enough to remember the miners strike of the 80s, but I was living in s yorks at the time and places like Barnsley & Doncaster were like a police state. They brought in thousands of coppers from London and Squaddies in police clothing who went out of their way to make life as miserable as possible, not just for the striking miners, but the entire populace of the towns and pit villages. I can't drink alcohol any more, but I'll force a drink down when thatcher shuffles off her blood stained coil.

As bad as the outbursts in London were, it pales to what they may experience elsewhere.

The Paris protests made a lot more trouble for the torch carriers and there were even more police (roller skating coppers are funny). They're quite lucky that they're leaving Europe for now.

Surely they'll have trouble elsewhere, looking at the Olympic route it seems more protests could be possible for most of the journey.

That's the best picture i've seen during this whole Olympic controversy.

I'm pro-Beijing 08. I don't think that the torture is right, i just think that if it wasn't for the games, nobody would care about Tibet.

Besides, the whole Tibet incident happened after Beijing was awarded the Olympics.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.

      Ahhh very happy for Amy - that’s very well deserved! I didn’t hear their final show but are Matt and Mollie keeping Helena? Hopefully she might be the main producer of their new show!
