David Beckham, the former England captain and part time underwear salesman, together with Princess Anne will receive the Olympic flame in the
Panathenaic Stadium in Athens tomorrow.
The princess, Beckham and a delegation including Sebastian Coe,
will return to the UK with the flame on a special BA2012.
How is that ordinary passengers are not allowed to bring lighters onto planes, but these guys can bring a naked flame?

No Laughing Matter
The Daily Telegraph reports that some Brits are a little unhappy with the quality of the British handover ceremony during the Beijing closing ceremony.
Quote:
"Britons proud of their athletes' achievements have vented their frustrations at being left 'the laughing stock of the world' by the show, which featured rocker Jimmy Page, X-Factor winner Leona Lewis and footballer David Beckham."
They need to remember two things:
1 Beijing spent far more money on the games, than we allegedly are going to do
2 It is the British way to self deprecate
The 2012 games face enough challenges (eg lousy budgeting, lousy organisation etc) to live up to the Chinese games. Quite simply put, we will not outdo the Chinese on their terms.
The best way for us to try to make the best of a bad job is to put on a thoroughly British games, ie quirky and humorous.

Becks For 2012
In a rush of blood to the head, Princes William and Harry have persuaded David Beckham to work on the 2012 Olympics in London.
A source was quoted in the Express as saying:
"There was an informal meeting between the princes and Beckham before the (Diana memorial) concert. They had a bit of a laugh and a joke and chatted about his move to Los Angeles.
But William said he hoped David would be back to play a key part in 2012. David smiled and said he'd love to."
Let us trust that it is just the male half of the Beckham brand that is involved in the Olympics.
