the first part of a
marathon's OK - it's those
last killermetres...

- talking of marathons, it's time now to take a break as, at long last, London's very own televisual marathon - the 2012 Olympiad - takes centre stage. Normal, dull, routine service will be resumed as soon as we've all calmed down again. Enjoy!...

"We've hit a milestone - thanks to you," read their e-mail to me...


"Hey, it's not my fault," I replied, "you should drive more carefully".


**************************************************************************


True story (dull, but true)...


I just thought it quite funny (if I say so myself). I think the milestone 
they were referring to was their 75,000,000th review or opinion. 


Just one of which - the crucial one, no doubt - was mine.
