In case you missed it the route has been announced.

No part of the country will be more than an hour away so you have no excuse for not standing by the side of the road watching someone run past carrying the flame. And don't forget to applaud vigorously as it goes past.
Have a nice time.

We live relatively close to each other, Oldrocker. We could go to the same one and make a day of it.
Have a bonfire prepared and cheekily ask them to light it for you!
They're not allowed to stop, are they? I thought the flame must always be in transit. Possibly.
Jog alongside with a lighter spill maybe?
What a complete and utter waste of time, effort and money.
Let's hope it gets dropped and goes out

Here are a few suggestions as to who could f**k it all up if they carried it:

Jerremy Beadle
Heurelho Gomes

Beadle would certainly be an interesting choice bearing in mind that he's been dead for three years. Boz is a shoe-in for stuffing the whole thing.
I heard it is stopping off in Middlesbrough. Well, it will be nice to have something to burn the cars with.
My favourite person involved with the history of the Olympic Flame was Barry Larkin, an Australian who protested against the Nazi origins of the Olympic Flame relay by making his won torch and fooling the Mayor of Sydney.

I'd just like to add Eddie Kidd to the list.

I'd just like to refute that slanderous insult. We've had fire here for over 2000 days.

Well the original Moonrakers did come from somewhere staring with a 'W'. Wiltshire 
Wiltshire is a place with rather random toe allocation.
