    You'd better set about discrediting Roger Bannister as well then, because I'm pretty sure his 4 minute mile wasn't done in an official event either.

    Has the mile ever been an officially recognised event?

    I should add the most remarkable thing you'll ever see regarding the marathon are late 90s pin up Nell Mcandrew's times.

    There was a car projecting a laser marker onto the road and a continuous cycle of pacemakers, plus a bike to deliver drinks so he didn't have to slow down. So not competitive conditions but a proof of concept at the very least.

    The best bit of that Kipchoge thing was the commentators. One seemed to be on the verge of tears, another was comparing it to the fucking moon landing. Have a word mate.

    It was on the BBC website. The number of people on the course seemed mental to me. Do they not have much to do in Austria?

    There's not a chance this Kipchoge character isn't about thirty percent steroids. He's in his mid thirties and suddenly he's absolutely blowing world records away. It's all a bit Lance Armstrong.

    He'd been winning things but never held the world record, then last year at thirty three years old he knocked a minute and a half off the standing record.

    There must be something about the Berlin course as well. All 7 of the previous World Records were paced there. I'll give the gap the benefit of the doubt seeing as Paul Radcliffe's wiped 2 and a half minutes off her own record before.

    EDIT: Okay, she has two minutes between her mixed and women's times. I'm going to guess field size can play a role as you can potentially have more pace runners.

    Don't marathon runners peak at a much later age than other athletes? I seem to remember Gebreselassie was donning it into his forties.

    Even if the appeal is won they’ll never see a penny of the 30k back. Shameless scrounging cunt.

    Having regard to the fact this is a man who has worked in manual labouring jobs all his life, I decline to make any adverse finding against him having regard to the level of alcohol consumed by him that day," Mr Justice Barr said.
    What sort of horseshit is that? A lifetime of site work makes it more likely he fell because he was pissed up, not less. Uneven, cracked, slippy ground will make up a majority of what he walks over at work.

    I looked up two stories about Coronation Street on the same day about a month ago and the 'suggested for you' thing that appears when I open my mobile browser has at all times had at least one article about what some current or former actor has been up to.

    If the newspapers that I follow on Twitter post it then I’ll see it. Like I said, it’s ridiculously common.

    We're all sad cunts to some degree so no shame there, online news algorithms also turn the internet into a big echo chamber so the more of these stories you click on the more you will see.

    I think I saw the same angle, and if there aren't at least as many broken bones as people I'll be stunned.

    I’ve seen a few photos of lads with arms in casts, etc but apparently there were no serious head or neck injuries. Looked like there could easily have been.

    I'm most disappointed about how his mask isn't a pixelated Jack Nicholson mask.

    Also not sure his style of comedy will really transfer onto screen.

    He did, no-one knew it was him and it only blew up when he got doxxed. No-one even knew his name until a couple of years ago.

    But Sara Khan, liberation and access officer at Manchester University students' union, who promotes herself on social media as a 'future Labour Home Secretary in the Making?', is behind a campaign to prevent the statue being erected.

    Miss Khan, 22, was behind a motion at the union last year to ban clapping because it could 'trigger anxiety'.

    My woke friend thinks we should stop celebrating Einstein. Apparently he made a trip to China once and wrote in his journal about how feminine the men were and how they submitted to their women too easily. That’s one deeper i’d say
