rb - there is a good 10K in May at Sudbury Court (nr Wembley). Smallish scale running club event. Well organised and a good atmosphere.
Seems like Oz has been the victim of the introduction of many species of flora and fauna that have had a disasterous effect on the environment. Just reading Bryson Down Under and he mentions some bloke who introduced a handful of rabbits on his estate so that he had something to shoot. Of course they bred like...well...rabbits and wiped out the vegetation in massive areas of bush.
Slowboy - did the brewings prove fruitful. Was it an afternoon of beautifully melodic blasts?
Moving on to amusing acronyms (sp?)... Cambridge University Netball Team has always been a good one, got any others?
I hope the aforementioned netball team has its name emblazoned across the front of its tops with suitably enlarged initial letters. I work in Cambridge so will have to pop along to a home match and cheer them on sometime. Come on you C...s
I wish I could think of other amusing acronyms, but even if I could I don't think I'd be able to match the netball team one.
Slowboy - ah, that oft played and very beautiful composition. Hope you kept it Fortissimo throughout, as it is meant to be played, and that you didn't go to pieces halfway through!

I suppose there's a kind of link back to the Oz thing there what with talking about massive areas of bush.........but then again....

The ideal Christmas gift for all you windy runners out there
Remote control farts also on iwantoneofthose.com
The trouble was, I took a big pair of kitchen scissors with me to enable me to cut my pants at a suitable moment, but I didn't have anywhere to put them. I decided that putting them with the Mars bar could be problematic and so opted to carry them. Half an hour out and I tripped on a tree root.
Suffice to say, there'll be some fairly authentic renditions of the Snowman in the Hobbit household this Christmas. We're walking in the air...............
The bit about drinking the urine of someone who had been on the mushrooms had me worried. Aeons ago, when I was a medical house officer (about 90 ranks lower than where Benz is now), I got a call from A&E at some ridiculous hour of the night asking me to come and see 13-louts-a-hallucinating from the effects of magic mushrooms. Thought the staff were taking the piss, but they weren't. I managed to scare the ten who were still fairly compos mentis into discharging themselves "against medical advice" (ha!) before wasting time doing detailed paperwork for them, and admitted the other three to the ward, where out of sheer nastiness I put drips and catheters in them all ("people can become SO dehydrated and suffer kidney damage from psilocybin, didn't you know, boss?"). They all discharged themselves before the morning ward round.
If I'd known then what I know now, I would have sold the contents of the catheter drainage bags back to them.
On a different note (?!), the festive season is all but upon us and the effects of excessive amounts of sprouts and roast potatoes will soon be evident in the Hobbit abode and the environs. But it's not going to stop me running, so look out Milton Keynes.
What's the difference between Brussels sprouts and snot? Kids won't eat Brussels sprouts.
One of them even tried to get a cast of it on the basis that if I followed through in solid form it was like checking the barrel of a gun against the marks it made on the bullet! Ballistics is what I say.
ill read it when i get home
Hoorah!!??! Sorry, that's a bit Famous Five, isn't it.
If someone dug up Enid Blyton we could get her to write "Five Go Off to Windy Bottoms".
I wonder how lashings of ginger beer might affect the internal workings.
Although I've noticed recently that all the porridge I've been having for breakfast has been causing me to tune up nicely by about mid-morning.
