Definitely the final count down

    Dear Blog,

 Have you heard the latest blackmarket fiddle? I am told there is a growing demand on the black market for entries for this year’s London Marathon race. Some silly money is being paid. The wheeze is that you buy some one's number then write to the organisers to say you are injured and transfer your entry to next year. Then you find a Johnny Foreigner and sell him the number for a fortune because you tell him it’s an entry for next year’s Olympic Marathon in London 2012! Brilliant. You have 48 hours to make me an offer I can’t refuse.

P.S. I have another couple of dozen times to add to the list
