Hello all,

Just wondered if anyone else on here is lucky enough, like me, to be a torch bearer?

I am on 20th May in Dartmouth, was nominated through my work to carry the flame.

Congrats man, but noone values me enough to be a torch bearer!!!

Don't trip over.

That's fantastic Louis, congratulations!

Just thought i'd plant the seeds of doubt!! :~D

Very cool Louis
Have you considered having Emet stand in for you? You know it makes sense ...
Have fun and be sure to post the pictures!

nice one louis, enjoy your moment !!

my lad was selected to do a publicity thing for london 2012 through his school, which involved him doing a torch "relay" with the 2012 mascots etc, using the actual torch used at the 1948 London Olympics.

Congrats Louis. Hope you enjoy the occasion. I was selected also but had to turn it down as i'm so unfit that i can't even run.

Hey Brady, good to see you posting again. Wondered where you'd got to!

Well done Louis.
They did ask me but told me it was during the night and i would need batteries. So i said no. lol

Sorry for the delay, was amazing. Here's my video...

How much did you get for it on ebay??

Only joking mate - well done to you and glad you enjoyed. Something you will remember for ever no doubt!

How cool was that, Louis!! Worth having to sport a white trackie. Glad you had a fab time

Thanks Richinns and Jane!

Will never forget that, was so unreal having MET police defending me and having everyone wanting a photo with me, waving and cheering me on as I ran down the road. Felt like a celeb!
