... and will you be having chips with that, madam?
In fairness ......... she's not an athlete :
Hometown Age Stockport 38 Carrying the Flame through Macclesfield Carrying the Flame on 31 May 2012
Karen's nomination story Karen is excellent at providing the customer conscience to the team and will always question the Customer experience of pushing things through at the eleventh hour. In addition with other op's managers in the business Karen has launched an NPS initiative which carries a note at the bottom of every email stating - how am I doing? let my manager know. What has impressed me the most is that one of Karens team's is the credit control team (never the most popular team) however with the coaching & structured approach Karen has instilled in that team - they are constantly making fans of their customers - not easy of you're chasing cash!
cheers for posting the heart rending back story, no tugging on the heart strings of how she overcame bulimia.
After eliminating those who can only run if carrying a flat screen TV or car stereo, the selectors must have had a tough selection choice for Macclesfield.
I would far rather see "real" people who have done something for the community carry the torch than athletes or celebrities, at least it shows some semblance of not being elitist
To judge from the size of that entourage (not hers, the people round her) there's going to be a huge rise in the unemployment figures when this rubbish ends.
Hey, look at the bright side of your Olympic hosting: you get to deploy surface to air missile systems in London. Once the Olympics are over with, thankfully, then you can keep them deployed just in case your neighbor across the channel ever decides to get "adventurous" again!!!!
Ii don't know about you but I come from a time when the Olympics were a wholly worthwhile thing and the Olympic flame was carried by people representative of the athletes that would be competing. To put a tracksuit on that tub of lard is a travesty in itself. To then give it the flame and parade her for the world to see is, frankly, disgusting.
Oh, yeah, I know... It's her glands...

I'm afraid you're in danger of not being very "inclusive" AA but
Looking at the OP, are the people surrounding the torch-bearer, (who are dressed in grey) officials of the Coe Military Junta?
I take it that the banana-coloured BMW following the athlete is one of the 4000 brand-new vehicles that 'Joe-Le-Tax-payer' has had to shell-out for?
NICE !
And there we diverge, since to me, that was a quadrennial tournament showcasing the best global athletes in their chosen field and not 'a show'.
And I am well aware of your heritage. You can't escape the expat's propensity to criticise the teat that nourished. It is on show depressingly frequently on these pages.
