What total and utter tosh. I can't believe that anyone takes it even remotely seriously. I was in stitches. It makes the pomp and ceremony of the opening of parliament seem normal.
'Vestal Virgins' standing around (why are they there?) in mock Grecian garb waiving their arms around in some pseudo dramatic way whilst the high priestess Ino Menegaki lights the flame.
Young men in skirts in some totally ridiculous dance. Then, to top it all the bloody flame when out. Thank god for Swan Vestas I say.
Pass me the sick bucket, but wait until I've stopped laughing at the utter stupidity of it all.
What is even more funny is that in July we are having a reenactment day of life in Ancient Greece and I have to try to look like one of those Vestal Virgins!
