Still on a career break. Still not writing a book. Like going running, often with a map and compass. Easily amused.

It’s possible to think that Starmer made a mistake in appointing Mandelson as Ambassador to the US and to think he shouldn’t quit as Prime Minister.

Ronnie Delany turns 90 today.

A good time to look back at the last lap of the 1500m final in 1956 - from 11th at the bell to 1st at the finish.

From the official Olympic film of the Melbourne Games:

Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Remembering this brilliant five minute reportage from the BBC in 1988: The Dark Arts Of Subbuteo.

Truly sensational stuff.

THEY WROTE HISTORY. THEY WILL BE REMEMBERED FOREVER AS LEGENDS, AS THE GOLDEN GENERATION OF SAMMARINESE FOOTBALL. THEY DID SOMETHING WE COULDN’T DO IN 20 YEARS, IN 140 GAMES, IN 12.600+ MINUTES OF FOOTBALL. A WIN, A FUCKING WIN.

A long time before London 2012 I put some money on Lisa Dobriskey for a medal in the 1500m. She finished tenth on the day but is now up to fifth.....
