Someone else is dressed as the Blackpool Tower... #AsYouDo #LondonMarathon

And I’ve just seen a wheelchair user in a rhino costume! But at least he could see out (I think…) #LondonMarathon

One of the young runners in the #LondonMarathon has terminal cancer. Unbelievable.

London Marathon today - looks like a nice day for it. I missed the start of the programme, but it looks as though Rosie Jones will be racing in an interesting way- courtesy of a lovely guy! Starting the women’s wheelchair athletes’ race, too! Best of luck to everyone… Equal prize money for all athletes, as well!

I was just watching “Three Up Two Down”, a sitcom from the 80s. Two things struck me - one was very prescient; something about not wanting to bump into R*lf H*rr*s in Australia, and one comment addressed to a GP - “Bless the NHS - don’t let the Tories grind you down” - a definite case of plus ça change…

A new enormous venue in Manchester- 20,500 (all-seated); 23,500 (with standing) - is open for business now. I really don’t like these mega- venues- I doubt how good the views are for most, my experience at Wembley Stadium shows that the sound isn’t great (although it was a great experience to be there) and I’m not sure that wheelchair users get a great deal in terms of where they sit. Am I being overly pessimistic? Does anyone have any more positive experiences?

The state of online journalism these days is truly lamentable. Not one but TWO articles used the word “guttural” incorrectly, and one the phrase “yours truly”. So what’s to blame - declining education standards or AI? Discuss…
