Are people in the van using the torch to light their fags?
The Olympic torch is on the move – I had an excited screaming phone call from Cornwall to verify this – but most of the time it seems to be in a van.
The day that my hair went up with a very smelly whoosh
Talking of lighting things, this weekend my hair went up with rather a smelly whoosh.
Going to Lidl’s like entering several countries at once

No Olympic tickets, but I’m still feeling excited about it
What are you doing to celebrate the Olympics? As more and more events start springing up, I’m really starting to get excited about all the bits and bobs we’ll be doing (seeing as we didn’t get any tickets to the main events).
If the crown is snatched, we should involve all the town
Congratulations to all the pupils of Bay House School in Gosport for their world record-breaking creation of the largest human Olympic rings (as reported in The News yesterday).
