just that, really. I suppose I feel in my gut that his latest mammoth marathon effort (and every respect to him for achieving it as I was born in same year and couldn't even run for 5 mins) is not 100% about raising money for charity. I do wonder just how much "cor blimey you are just SO AMAZING and compassionate" type of validation any individual needs.

Yep, talking up my own running. Probably attention seeking. Grin Not that I need attention when I run. My red as a baboons arse face and ginormous constrained bosom in a sports bra usually get me enough attention.

It's just nice to see someone not typically a runner, run. Anyone can run. Even boobed ladies with red faces and men with nice nails.

And on the Jesus thing, as a teacher forced to do the Jesus thing this week, I have found my classes responses to the story mostly relate to "his" weak powers. And comparing him to Thor, or Hulk in a denigrating way. Then again, I suppose it would have been more showy offy to wield a lightning hammer and smite Pilate.

JC can come round to my house and turn water into wine any day. And after the third vat I'd be saying "Jesshhussss iIbloodyloveyou"

LOL

Poor Jesus

he's been compared with Thor, Hulk and Eddie Izzard and now Kate's making him use his powers for evil instead of good just so she doesn't have to go to waitrose

THIS week of all weeks

Sad

I laughed at your post Muddha and then I felt guilty. But human nature is a strange thing. A few years ago a work colleague killed himself in a very violent way and for the rest of the week we were all in a hightened state of hysteria, ie comic hysteria, not wailing and gnashing hysteria. I think humour is nature's way of self-protection sometimes.
