Olympic Torch
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
To quote the Tim Robbins character in Team America:
"Its all about the corporations, who sit there in their big corporation buildings, being all corporationy"
It makes perfect sense to me. :undecided:

I thought UK couldn't look any more silly after the Dome - how wrong can a person be?! The jogging Smurf's looked to be instructing British Police on what to do - how did that happen?! Now that the Olympics has been politicised as a social inclusion policy - the man is right - the only way to vote IS with your wallet!

Oh now I was wondering what was going on...
Today I was chasing a local sc... lad who had been nicking for a corner shop when these two Chinese blokes in blue tracksuits started running beside me telling me what to do, is was a tad confused especially when he tried to hand me his zippo! :D :D

Interesting to note that two of the worlds healthy eating manufacturers are in there.
I can just see it know
"Hi, I won Gold at the Olympics thanks to Coca Cola and McDonalds"
Two products I won't buy out of principle anyway.

Very good! Are you sure it wasn't one of those lighters shaped like a pistol, that was in fact a pistol?
I did a course a few years ago to do with Public Order Policing. There was a guy on the course who was from the Hong Kong Police. Very nice chap, but he got very dismissive when it came to the bit about considering the protestors human rights. His answer to everything was to either shoot it, bulldoze it or drive a tank through it.
As far as he was concerned, anyone who broke the law deserved what they got.
I asked him about the 'Interview technique' that is used in HK. He had a slight grin on his face when he said no one ever denied the offence for which they had been arrested. Very scary :shock:
