Mollys Dad Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 So, we have people selling them, torches going out and what.a.wally.i.am twitting as he was running with it. How did he get to be a torch bearer? For his contribution to the country? Why Somerset - he has no connections there. Should have had him running around a fancy hotel lobby or tv studios. Lets see some more deserving people carrying it from now on please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee&Falks Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 It is in Stafford next Wednesday and I will be avoided the town center like the plague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 No I def will not be watching this. I'm a bah humbug as far as the Olympics is concerned. I'm going to have to contend with increased road and public transport traffic and being based in a London Borough the delights of having to pay for this in my council tax for years to come. It's already high so who knows how much it's going to be. Benefits received from paying this none including having to put up with Tornado jets and Sea King helicopters taking off close by. For those who want to enjoy it fine, but don't count me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
