Quite a jog with this flame isn't it?

Good job these ex athletes keep in decent shape. Some would be on their arse

 

[kunaguero10]

Where the fuck are they going with it

Probably end up back at the Eiffel Tower in a minute

 

[crooky]

Biggest pile of wank on the telly probably ever.

I think a 3 hour 'Stars In Their Eyes' omnibus would have been preferable to this.

Eurovision pisses all over this for entertainment. It's not even comparable.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Fuck me they’ve brought out magneto …

 

[mancboy]

Jesus christ this torch has been passed around more times than the kardishians

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This had better be electric!

 

[BlueMoonday]

So for a sporting event, they use a grotesque obese woman in the opening ceremony. Sends the right signals

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Where the fuck are they going with it

Probably end up back at the Eiffel Tower in a minute

To the source of the Seine, a small, frog invested puddle on the outskirts of Dijon, probably.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Not exactly Muhammad Ali lighting it is it?

Underwhelming

 

[mancboy]

All that and it looks like the fireplace in a crap youtubers house

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Where the fuck are they going with it

Probably end up back at the Eiffel Tower in a minute

It’s just started its flight there

 

[RiversideBlue]

To be fair, thats quite good

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Protesters can’t put it out if it’s 50 feet in the air.

 

[homerdog]

Fucking hell, it's Édith Piaf!

 

[Crooked_rain]

Celine Dion

I thought she was unwell and couldn't sing anymore?

 

[RiversideBlue]

The guy playing the piano, when there's no piano in the tune

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fucking hell, it's Édith Piaf!

Not a bad impersonation by Celine

 

[cleavers]

It’s just started its flight there

Don't joke, you could be right.

 

[mancboy]

Shush celine and do the titanic song we're only hear for the classics ;)

 

[Double R]

Steve Martin on piano.
