Here's hoping Alan!!
 
I demand a recount if you don't get it!!

Keeping everything crossed for you Alan...good luck!

It's not just me - aymes and Shiv were nominated too. I think we have a 1 in 14 chance of being selected at this stage 🙂
 
Well, given that they've been interviewing people on the local news who have succeeded and I haven't heard a peep yet, it's looking highly unlikely. Ah well, it was very nice to be nominated - I really appreciate it 🙂

well in that case you all deserve it!!

it's a shame it's now looking unlikely...all you guys on here rock and totally deserve your moment in the limelight :(
 
We could make you a torch and sneek you in just before the real one comes in, or kidnap the real one.:D
 
Sorry to hear that Alan

Duno if anyone caught the one o clock news with the 83 year old who had been chosen,she was proud as punch
 
Boo....Hiss.....Don't they know what we have all missed ? Seeing Alan in a pair of running shorts !! (Be still my beating heart...) 😱
 
Ah I've just had an email to say I didn't get through. Oh well, JDRF has loads of people through so v happy with that 🙂

Sorry to hear that Shiv, but good luck to all those at JDRF

Just got my email too Shiv, I didn't get through either :( Good to hear that JDRF will be well represented though! 🙂
 
That's a bummer!
 
Alan, it's their loss - you are a perfect candidate
 
Alan and Shiv sorry to hear that you won't get the opportunity to carry the torch
