    I almost spilt my coffee as I walked towards the drawing room and heard
    from the TV commentary clearly say "It's Paul Radcliffe out in front
    followed closely by Suze and Chep Kemai"

    By the time I'd stopped running around screaming Suze is in second
    behind Paula Radcliffe and settled down, Suze was nowhere to be seen and
    Paula Radcliffe was being followed by someone called Akeo and then by
    Susan Chepkemai.

    I'm guessing Suze dropped off the pace to ensure she is fit for Brands
    Hatch.

    I wish I'd watched the race on telly. I suppose there *must* be pictures
    on the 'net by now of Paula having a pee by the side of the road at
    about 22 miles...
    So far in front she could afford to stop for a piss FFS.

    Well done Paula.

    Cramp they said on the Beeb? Why would she stop to piss after all.

    Just heard an interview with her this evening. She did, indeed, stop for
    a Jimmy.

    Ah, it seems I mis-heard above the noise from the lathe.

  8. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Wicked Uncle Nigel
    Aha; it would seem you mis-heard 'cramp' for '**** me, I was dying for a
    shit'.

    Otoh, all those times in the past when athletes have been described as
    cramped or winded, perhaps they all got caught short and the Beeb were
    just being polite so as not to offend Edna Trellis of Watersham.

    "Oh my goodness; he's got cramp, in fact he's cramping all over the
    track!"

    Perhaps she stopped to make sure she was getting paid to win.

    Maybe, they could make marathons more exciting by including mandatory
    pit stops. I am sure Bernie could advise them.

    I've a colleague at work who's just run the marathon. She's been looking
    for sponsorship all week, but I've declined.

    I may, however, sponsor her tomorrow to walk up the stairs, or even
    just walk across the office without looking like she's shat herself.

    Worth a tenner in anyone's money.

    Or, if there's a chance of a (golden) shower, arrange for an identical
    runner to be waiting in the pits. But arrange for the swap to take so
    long that people start sliding off the road instead.

    I am sure Sete Gibernau could advise them. Failing that, Colin Edwards,
    etc.

    The less said about Hoffman the better. Pillock.

    And thought I misheard it when I clocked that last time that she got a turd
    of a million for winning ;-)
