I personally didn't carry the torch, but I very nearly did. I was on a shortlist of 1,500, but wasn't one of the 800 chosen. My friend was, though!
And it came past my house, did the torch, and my friend has one, so maybe I could 'pretend' I ran with it 
The London opening ceremony will involve a bus, rain (not joking- they're making clouds), Chickens, spiders, farmers, cows, buses and nurses. Amongst other things. Hopefully Boris Johnson. The Chinese one was awesome, but no-one will ever remember it for anything but the whole situation with the 'ugly' young girl who had to sing in front of billions, but her voice was dubbed on someone cuter. For shame!
