perplexed and amused wednesday

and avoiding capital letters for no good reason....

the tube train pulled into chancery lane this morning at my usual unearthly hour of just after 07:00. i stood by the door ready, as usual, to make escape velocity. i noticed a yoof standing in almost the optimal position for efficient ingress/egress of walking freight....almost as he was positioned exactly equidistant from either side of the doors: right in the middle in other words.

only when human traffic spewed forth (as it does every time a train stops anywhere) from the recently opened doors did the surprised look illuminate his visage accompanied by a hasty lateral shuffle. (hmmm writing style too floury this morning) now was this man-child genuinely surprised or is the nations juvenile population rising early from their sleep just to engage in some bazaar form of new brinkmanship in order to 'feel more alive'...something to stir the grey matter before a day of dynamism and cut and thrust pushing their personal envelopes and crossing new boundaries?

nah, the chap was a fuckwit.

1 year on

I've had my Garmin for a year now and have covered 262 miles - distinctly average compared to the worlds best Marathon runner who trains 150 miles per week! An average pace of 10 minutes per mile is just that - very average. The most interesting stat IMHO is the elevation (and corresponding decent) I have covered - over 52 thousand feet! No wonder I get short of breath when I'm pounding ;-)

Still, I can honestly say it has bee 262 miles of great fun and aim to do many more (s)miles.

Having said that I have slightly sore legs after 8 miles yesterday. That's not the worst thing though - some sort of blister thingy is hurting more than my legs. Might be something to do with wearing Skins - they do reduce muscle soreness - recommended kit.

Mosely you muppet

Hamilton 'may be negative for F1' says legendary idiot, charlatan and piss poor leader of spineless corrupt lackeys (FIA) Max Mosely....twat.

He is concerned that Lewis Hamilton may whitewash F1 next year and cause another 'Schumacher Effect'. Consider the three-way (four if you include Massa for most of the season) chase for the title this year and I think you'll see the evidence suggests otherwise you gormless nazi.

Driver	Race Wins
Massa	3
Hamilton	4
Kimi	6
Big Baby	4

By mid season this year, all drivers were on three race wins...close enough for the FIA Chief Chump?

To top it all off in a lame attempt (no doubt) to 'spice' up F1 some more (Bernie says hi and thanks btw) Mosley vomits further fountains of ludicrous prose:

It would be surprising if Hamilton didn't know something of what was going on [in spy-gate], but I've got absolutely no evidence that he had

So shut the eff up you brainless dolt.

Next season has the potential to be even closer, Hamilton, Massa, Big baby Spaniard, Rosberg, Kubica and Vettel are all going to be serious challengers for race wins of not all in the hunt for the title.
