So I was hearing on the radio about this Olympic flame thing, and (try as I might) could't help wondering:
"What kind of fuel are they using there? Could it be meths? Petrol would be too volatile surely. Woodgas? Greek olive oil?"

Bearing in mind they've had it on a plane whilst lit (!!!!!!!) then, has anyone any ideas or information on what the approved IOC fuel of choice is?

I'd hazard a guess at either methane or bullsh:t :D

I heard that they were burning the pension agreements of 4 million Greek civil servants!

£1.30! cheesey peas - how far north of Nottingham are you? - might be worth travelling down for that extra saving of 2p per litre :D

£1.30 I wish, it's about £1.45 for diesel here and I think around £1.47 for petrol!!!
