A marathon effort...
"Paula Radcliffe is better prepared than all of her rivals"
"All the athletes have prepared equally well for this race"
"You can't prepare for a race like this"
See what I mean? And then for the first hundred minutes "Paula Radcliffe is *our* best hope of athletics gold at these games", then as soon as she pulls out it's "we knew she wasn't running at her best, *her* hopes of olympic glory are dashed". One moment the Japanese athlete, who is currently leading as I type, is looking "tired and untidy", the next she is "running well with gold in her sights" and two minutes after that she is "beginning to tire and in danger of being caught". It's really enough to make me write letters to the BBC, but since I don't want to turn into the sort of person who writes letters to the BBC I'm ranting here instead...

Tiberius was the second emperor of Rome. His
mother wanted it more than he was. He had to
leave his wife to marry Julia, the daughter of
Augustus. He never really cared much for
politics. Later on in life, he moved to the
island of Capri, turning it into an island of
depravity and sex.

My inner child is ten years old!
The adult world is pretty irrelevant to me. Whether
I'm off on my bicycle (or pony) exploring, lost
in a good book, or giggling with my best
friend, I live in a world apart, one full of
adventure and wonder and other stuff adults
don't understand.
