Tell yer what Dave , I would have a job jumping over a Molehill let alone my bungalow , maybe I could manage one of those scale models that Lillyput lane cottages create , even then I would have to do some serious training , as for the dress of the day , I am still clearing out some of my late wife's clothes , and some of the stuff I could no doubt fit into now I have lost a fair bit of weight , so I will let you imagine what I could be wearing when my training begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted August 6 Author Report Share Posted August 6 Josh Kerr's silver medal in the 1500 was a [well earned] shock ! A bigger shock was the US athlete snatching gold from the favourites 😲 Ingebrigtsen blew it,,,, literally 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
