    I've always had a 'thing' for Gabby Logan's legs, but...








    ...I'm willing to put them behind me now. :)

    Now I'm not saying Semenya is a bloke but her day job is being Anthony Joshua's bodyguard.

    I've heard that Gabby's hosting of the athletics is in peril. If I was a bookie I would be laying her at five to two.

    And by the men's team for Bronze. Six medals, in the 6 to 8 target range, and about 6 fourth places, all by young and improving athletes. Not bad in the end, very enjoyable tournament, despite my mithering about cheats, and as always we put on a very good, well organised show. Hated that ****ing hedgehog though.

    The hedgehog was embarrassing. Here's an interesting article on drugs cheats by Oliver Holt ...

    Seems Bolt was out on the piss all night a few days before the relay. Explains a lot!
    Not sure this year's Bolt would have closed that gap anyway.

    Okay I'm back.....but bearing in mind I have been driving the IAAF around all day I am xonked.
    I have driven Brendan Foster around this week and to say the man is an awesome legend is to belittle him..He is awesome....I absolutely adore the man..... never have I met such an honest and straightforward guy.

    I drove Dwight Phillips ( look him up) he too is awesome....No for an American he is amazing.

    I drove the Jamaican team around...and nothing that happened to any Jamacian athlete, man or woman, was a surprise...I wish I put money on it!!

    This month has been more awesome than even the Olympics.
    I am so privileged...

    Did I also say I drove around Les Ferdinand cousin too
    Apparently he too is lovely!!

    Toyota was the sponsor so they were all Toyotas, all cars were brand new hybrids. We had 7 and 8 seater diesel Proace vans but I didn't drive them ...I claimed to be too short.
    So I drove either an Auris, CHR or Rav4. ...We had more trouble with CHR with reliability..and the space in the back and the small "styled" windows made it an unpleasant ride for the back passengers. RAV4 was a nice car, easy drive, high up....My favourite was the Auris estate.....lovely car, wonderful on petrol, very economical in town driving...as it is always generating its own electrical power. Smooth, quiet, spacious...the sensors make parking a doodle (we were staging in a cramped car park ( it was not all glamour!!! ) so on a daily basis I had to back into small areas in front of bored, critical other drivers and controllers. It was a test of nerve...but in the Auris as said it was a doodle.

    So much so...for the week my car was stolen ( did I mention the first day I was away my car was stolen from my driveway...the toerags broke into the house to get the keys. It has been found...but still haven't got it back from the police) anyway the Auris was so impressive that, even though I have only ever had Ford's...we went and looked at buying an Auris..cannot give it a better recommendation than that.
