Now 600 marathons later!

Attachment 183720

Same man- NOT suggesting we can all run 600. Walk maybe we all could!

Another UK guy just did 7 marathons in Seven days all around the world - In a Wheel Chair! Not for the travel I think he took planes for that

The World Marathon Challenge I am tempted to add this to my retirement bucket list.

This is both trivial and cool. Move it your way of course.

Hello skinny bastid.

Shirley that isn't the same olde codger?

If you, then a CPO's Jacket & Cap would look more applicable. If you, then I dips me lid to you.

Still, 153 days James, and I never believed that could have been possible either, so who knows. I think my body is still wondering what the **** happened, so maybe 600 marathons is a tad ambitious for now.

At 23 from me suspect I will keep plodding a million miles less than 600 John. Moving is the key. Boogie, skip, prance or dance works like my bad habits

Does the word 'Challenge' have a duel meaning

I see what you did there.

Charlie and the Chocolate factory was a great kids yarn. Not to be taken literally perhaps!

US workplace safety regulators have fined a Pennsylvania factory after two workers fell into a vat of chocolate and had to be rescued.


The Mars Wrigley factory in the city of Elizabethtown was fined more than $14,500 (£12,000) by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.


The workers were contractors that did not work full time for the factory.


The incident happened in June 2022. A hole had to be cut into the bottom of the partly-full tank to get them out.

Well now, that is bleeding obvious, for they had spent some wasted time in being retrieved from said Chocolate Vat.

They should have had their wages docked & invoiced for the free chocolate they would take home for their kids. "Righto kids, who wants the special bit with the short & curlies in it?"


Can't say fairer than that Guv.

I wonder if they retrieved the tools and bits of pipe they dropped in as well?

Probably not,just kept quiet

Just imagine,now what is this in the Easter egg,a 10 mm socket?
Just what Dad wanted,said the kid with his big flashy Easter egg,he is always looking for one.

Everybody seems to want a 10mm socket these days for some reason.

I'd be a bit worried if one or more of the gang of blokes had Diarrhea & was called in to work at the last minute when the boss found that he was one short on the day.

Just sayin'.
