Cardiff Half: there's pacers in the start pens. If the 1 hour 45 minute race pacer starts three minutes before me, and I catch them on the finish line, I should have run 1 hour 42 minutes, shouldn't I?

I was at the theatre last night and the punchline to one of the jokes was "and King Charles the Third". I momentarily thought that was a bit odd, then realised that he's not "Prince of Wales" anymore (and the rhythm of the joke suggested that was the original line).

Wolfgang Petersen.

In The Line Of Fire is one of my favourite movies, and Air Force One is great as well (if just for Gary Oldman if nothing else) -- I really should watch Das Boot one of these days.

It’s also a good time to distance yourself politically from the rapidly sinking buffoon, and line up a leadership bid.
