A man died a day after running the London Marathon.

This does not mean necessarily that his death was marathon-related. But, as Russ-from-the-office so elegantly (and compassionately) put it, if it was related then that’s a hell of a case of Athlete’s Foot.

P.s. I have the feeling you may be hearing a lot about Russ-from-the-office. He’s Johnny’s housemate, system designer for the company and a real funny nutter.

“So you’ve got all your ducks in a row
Have you figured out what you owe
Until you settle your bill
It won’t let you go

Careful what you’ve bought
And don’t you look to no warranties
You own what you have wrought
Ain’t no money-back
Money-back guarantee”

Is he even employable????

Hmm…..

Shall I tell them?

After all, they’ve got precious little else to talk about.

I’m quite enjoying it actually.You can see me here and write summat on my wall. Still trying to figure out the optimal way to use it. And one complaint; I can never log in, so I have to keep emailing myself and resetting my password.

Oh well…

p.s. my photo does rather look like I have a friendly hobbit next to me. I like it.

Yes. It is true. Another one bites the dust.

I learned two very wise quotes yesterday:-

You might be a Cunning Linguist, but I am a Master Debater.

If you’ve got an issue, here’s a tissue.

Yes, the film was Austin Powers Goldmember.

Saw Tony Blair today coming from Deansgate. Not only has he involved us in unjust wars, he also held me up in traffic as I was rushing to the library. Can he get nothing right???

I thought of flipping the smirky twat but I had a rucksack on my back, and with my swarthy good looks I might easily be mistaken for a Brazilian.
