What is the point?

Photograph Quiz:

Photo no. 17:- Who was the cyclist who used to ride on Coventry’s first banked track? And where was the track (Not at the Butts)?

Oh dear me Blog,

   You avoid slipping on the ice, you avoid sliding on the mud, you note each strain with concern, each ache is soothed away, any sign of injury is treated with care .... THEN ... laying in wait, hidden among the tabs of the tab rug in front of the fire in the living room, waiting, ready to pounce are the scissors, small sharp scissors, small sharp sewing scissors, small sharp sewing scissors that are turned up viciously at the end so they can be used to unpick sewing. When to attack? Four days to London and we have GO, GO, GO!!! Into the fleshy part of the foot, make sure it’s the bad foot. In deep, deeper. Go for it. Lots of blood, pints of the stuff, spurting all over the carpet. It takes two people to pull the scissors out, they have gone in so deep.

So there you have it: I suggest that any late guesses at my final time in the London Marathon are seriously revised down. A fortuitous decision, my dear Blog, to wait until the final hour before pledging to Tiny Tim’s Children’s Centre and/or Newlife. (£1 per guess at my finishing time, remember)!!                         Colin

P.S. There are several times still outstanding
