There was Anto, they had a big pig turning on a spit, you just helped yourself to a couple of slices as you went past.

I think Frank robbed a school Tuck Shop he had that much sweets and crisps in a big box. He didn't trust anyone with it, so he carried it the whole time.

I've got a shot at a top 25 finish!

b.harte

I've been sick the last few weeks with a chest infection, taking it nice and easy and avoiding the temptation to go out running (and wrecking my wife's head being stuck at home).
On the mend now, a longer rest that I wanted.
Means I'll be well rusty for Sunday.
I'm aiming for a top 20 finish in the double.....:D
but I'll settle just for a finish.:o:o
Early drive down for me.
And first long run in my flo-glo yellow pegasus as my normal ones have gone end of life.
See you all there.
