If Mohammed won't come the mountain...
the mountain will come to Mohammed, whether he wants it or not.
When I left work this evening, I found myself in the middle of the flaming torch hysteria.
I couldn't go anywhere so I waited a couple of minutes et voila' the torch appeared
I couldn't help but thinking: is that all there is to an Olympic torch?
The answer of course it is no, because there were plenty of vehicles advertising the official sponsors.
And please, don't torch Pizza Hut on the corner, even if they are not one of the Olympian retailers! LOL
I have no idea who the torch bearer was.
Certainly it wasn't as exciting as earlier in the day when Patsy and Edina carried the torch in Kensington

Thanks goodness for the Barclays bikes or I would have never got to Victoria tonight with all the buses being diverted.
I even strayed a couple of inches in the official games lane at Hyde Park Corner, just because I could.
Sarcasm apart, there's quite an expectant atmosphere in London and there are certainly many more people around.
I am quite looking forward to watching the opening ceremony tomorrow evening on TV. After all I paid for it!
I hope it's a camp affair and that the rumours about Mary Poppins are true.
