So unless Mrs B is taking lessons from The Banoffee King then this must be legit to an extent.

Did anyone else picture Dom in a leopard print tracksuit? Because I just threw up in my mouth.

UPDATE!

They are not doing the relay. There is a list of torchbearers here and none of them are on there. Which sucks.

[hopeandmemory]

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

well damn it all to hell, marilyn

[easilyerased]

She built me up, buttercup baby. And she let me down. Sadness.

[easilyerased]

Ignore all that. They are running it. Confirmed by BBC.

A POST ♥ I miss Muse these days.

And can we all just take a second to fully appreciate the preciousness of mbingbell? YES, THANK YOU.

AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE OLYMPICS. I watch them religiously. Especially the synchronize swimming, idgaf. I prefer Winter Olympics though.

ANOTHER OLYMPICS NERD. :D :D I love watching the games!

Summer Olympics are synchronized swimming (it's SO hard, so I have a lot of respect for it), diving, Soccer(!!!!), and track. I prefer the winter games more too.

eta: I like hitting 'send' too fast. lol

[complaining]

Ahhh, I forgot about diving. Love it. I stan for Alexandre Despaties, because we live in the same city (homeboy!) and he's amazing, personality wise. And omg, the synchronized swimming. I don't know how they do it, it must be magic. And the fact that they smile during their whole routine, just wow. And it's probably because I'm Canadian, but I love Winter games sfm with Hockey, Freestyle Ski and Figure Skating. It's perfect!

Don't worry, it happens to me all the time!

Fellow Canuck here, so I TOTALLY get your love for the Winter Games. I remember my parents letting my wee self stay up late to watch the Figure Skating finals back in 1988. EVERYONE in my class was following the 'Battle of the Brian's'. :D

Alexandre seems like such a nice guy when they do profiles on him during competitions. I hope he goes far this year.

CSB: My eldest brother trained under Marnie McBean for rowing in the early 90's at his University. He got REALLY good, and quit a family vacation short so he could fly home and try out for the some pre-olympic team (as he described it; details are rusty 20+ years later). He didnt make the cut.

I'm sorry, I just can't stop giggling at the thought of either Matt or Dom running.
