At last I found the thread where I proposed the way for the flame to be lit! Not 100% bang on I'll admot, but seeing as it had never been done this way before I think you'll find i was pretty bloody close even 4 years ago!

Yes

Well done you, have a U75 engraved hob nob.

If there was an Olympic sport for guessing how they were going to light the flame you'd get the silver medal without doubt

I keep managing to avoid the Heatherwick exhibition at the V&A, but now I feel obliged to see it

Well done you. I still think my idea was better, though. Shameless repost:

They keep mentioning the copper kettles....I reckon they're gonna hit them with drumsticks and a fleet of Routemaster buses will appear with the Spice Girls, Oasis, Blur, The Wombles, the Monty Python team, and David Attenburgh aboard. Then they circle for a bit and Stephen Hawking will descend from a UFO above the stadium with his own copper kettle.

He'll ascend Glastonbury Tor and pop his kettle on the hob to make a brew, but instead of tea, the Olympic flame spills out and lights the Caldron, which is a replica of Stone Henge emerging from the Tor.

Then the fireworks begin....

From the opening ceremony thread. I thought they were saying kettles, not petals

seems I'm not the only one who's idea got ripped off!

Is there anyone who has a spare knob for their gas hob. That would be a hob nob that could be engraved and would last longer than some old biscuit made of oats. What could be more appropriate than a knob from a gas cooker.

Where's my coat?
