    As I sit here trying to concentrate amidst the screaming of F1 cars practicing for Sunday ( I work next door to Silverstone ), I've just remembered a story from years ago.

    When Mrs. Gandhi attended the London Marathon for the first time, so impressed was she by the sheer size of the event, camaraderie, financial benefits and the legacy it left she became determined to hold a Marathon in Delhi.

    On her return she summoned her closest aids and advisors informing them of her vision with the instruction to extensively advertise ' The first Delhi Marathon ', inviting applications to run in the event.

    After 3 weeks they had 117,000,000 million applications, much to her amazement and undoubted glee. Unfortunately this was tempered somewhat when one her cabinet explained that it was not possible to accommodate that number of people running throught the streets of Delhi at the same time and indeed there was every chance many thousands would be trampled to death.

    Undeterred she insisted the event would go ahead but to reduce numbers it would be a 'men only Marathon'. After another couple of weeks 63,000,000 million applications arrived, again with major concerns about safety another re-think was necessary.

    A bright young minister suggested that if it were open to all men with only one testicle the numbers would surely be reduced. To everyone's amazement 21,000,000 million entry forms were recieved which not only staggered all concerned but equally the issue of safety again put a huge downer on the situation.

    After much discussion it was unanimously decided to accept entry forms from men with no testicles. After a further couple of weeks 500 applications were received, whilst obviously dissappointed with the numbers Mrs. Gandhi was determined that every effort would be made to make the event a resounding success.


    " What shall we call it ?"....asked Mrs. Gandhi. "We need a name to capture the imagination of the World".

    After much deliberation the Minister for Sport shouted out... " How about The India Knackerless 500 "
