    The Weather

    I still find it fascinating re the above discussion that people still measure things in inches. I was taught (during hail, snow, howling gales, etc. etc.) the metric system, decimals, blah blah blah. The UK still seems precious about its imperial measurments, and I have no idea why. At some point, this became a "bloody Europeans" issue, yet I was being taught the metric system before we joined the EEC. It's like when an old country house burns to the ground, and the whole country wants to preserve its burnt-out shell for posterity...why the fuck should we? If you want a modern economy, get modern I say.

    Irate Visitors Rage Here, If You Must.

    Betting doesn't go on here. Death needs no encouragement, except from those it affects. This isn't my sole pleasure...you'd be actively disgusted by some of my other pleasures/practices. My mother's dead. Yours, YW.

    Summer Olympic Deaths/Dead Medallists

    Sir Durward Knowles, Gold medallist for sailing for Bahamas, has died aged 100. http://www.thebahamasweekly.com/publish/in-memorium/Bahamian_Olympian_Sir_Durward_Knowles_has_died_at_10057258.shtml Pretty sure he was previously a DDP pick. Maybe I'm wrong. Not this year though.

    The Hare's Death Pool

    We now have a full leaderboard with everyone named. drol still acting as pacemaker, nip and tuck between him and msc. As a result mainly of Billy Graham's demise, 5 more teams have jumped out of the bleachers and on to the racetrack. Meantime, it must be something about gamerunners, as Deathray and yours truly decide that a smoke and watching the entire run of Game of Thrones with Pedro67 in the common room is preferable to being out and about on a track. In this weather? Are you guys crazy? Anyway, the March Hares are revving their engines...how will this affect the next leaderboard in a fortnight?
