1.) Every time the Queen appears on screen everyone must wave (in a Queen-esque fashion) - the last one to do so drinks 4 fingers.
2.) Drink ONLY with your right hand until the Olympic flame in the stadium is lit - from then on you must ONLY drink with your left hand until the Flame is extinguished during the closing ceremony. Using the wrong hand at any point results in a 3 finger fine.

Steve Redgrave - 1
David Beckham - 2
Roger Bannister - 3
The Queen - 4
Sir Paul McCartney - 5
Sir David Attenborough - 6
Pat Butcher - 7
Cher Lloyd - 8
Jeremy Kyle - 9
