Olympic Torch

Did anyone on YD, apart from Spartacus get an invite to carry the Olympic Torch through London today ? It seems every other bloody Tom, Dick and Harriet did.

I`ve got no problem with former Olympians and schookids carrying it, but what the hell is the significance of Denise van Outen and even the Sugababes getting involved.

I was going to ask, that as a country have we lost the plot ?

The answer is a foregone conclusion.
