very much in, problem being that bullheart pretty much needs to announce his contact details to a forum with over 1 squillion members…

Whilst I of course fully support the idea, I also fully support/understand if Bullheart doesn’t want to be thrust in the limelight and be possibly forced to discuss his personal circumstances with the media, local press, etc, it ain’t everyone’s cup of tea. And going by the tone set in the link, it seems clear that the torch bearers should expect that. An internet forum can sometimes mislead in terms of someone’s level of shyness or not wanting to be the focus of attention.

As emsz said. Probably best to ask the guy first.

I’m flattered, honestly.

But no.

But no.

Heh.

Right, fair enough. OK, I’m nominating CaptainFlashheart……..anyone else ?

i’d like to see either cynic-al and tj on a tandem or flashy pedalling a rickshaw with elfin in the back castigating the crowds with a loudhailer.

captain flasheart, walking on his hands with the union jack painted on his bare arse, plus the phrase “seb coe is a ????” (perhaps as a tattoo or a branding)

I’m in full support !

😆

Oh, and fair play to Bullheart. Just thought that of anyone on here, you were the most inspiring/deserving.

Hmph.

Does anyone want to pretend to be Bullheart for the day?

e-mail in profile.

Why not yourself TSY?

*takes Jaime aside*

Don’t reveal the masterplan just yet.

*shhh*

Ahhh…the ol’ switcheroo.

I nominate gbDave

i’mDave

iDave, for services in the fight against obesity 🙂

I’d rather choke on my own puke than take any part in the **** circus of vacuous bollox surrounding the Olympics. Thanks though.

See, the reason I though of this and posted on here wasn’t to do with the Olympics or any associated honour of carrying the torch.

It was because they asked for stories of truly inspirational people. I can’t say I’ve come across many or any who I consider fitting of such an accolade.

Would that have to be on your one day a week off the diet?

Top original idea – ah well.

I’ve hardly annoyed anyone on here, and I like the Olympics.

Just throwing it out there.

*applause*

Right – An explanation.

I honestly don’t think I meet the criteria, although it’s lovely of you to say so. I’d feel a bit of a fraud.

What about Dave Buchanan? That man makes me look like a tarts handbag. If you’re talking inspiration, I think he hits all the criteria…

Plus I’d probably rant about the reduction in funding for cancer research for the whole 300m anyway… 😉

Don’t get all forum-battle-epic-knob-hardened and start telling me what I think now Bullheart!

You definitely meet the criteria, 100% sure of this.

I respect your humility though (I won’t mention that it probably makes you even more deserving), so, does anyone else fancy this? Just for a laugh like…

Cynic-al.

Courage doesn’t begin to describe that man when you take into account some of the shite he invents and subsequently tests.

I was thinking TJ actually.

Think TJ is probably out – the organisers would make him wear a helmet 🙂

I second TJ for carrying the Olympic torch and definitely not those celebrities shite out there. Look at me! Look at me! I am a celebrity. Pui!
