The Hornet's Nest

Terrible story that, Hornette. There are professional teams who go about doing that. Extraordinary isn't it. Still, we know if they get caught they'll get a lot of minutes Community Service to do.

 

Mornin', ak. .

 

Morning guys How is our fine crew today?

 

Mornin' Norway . I'm procrastinating from my assignment...

Morning all

 

Morning Leo

 

Time for a coffee than off out with the dogs on another sunny morning!

 

Would have been interesting to follow a alternate reality where we had kept Mutch and taylor for the season ! To see where we would have ended up!

 

Morning all,

Penultimate day!!!!!! I have walked past Westminster Cathedral twice a day for the past 2 and a half years, and have always wanted to go up to the top of the bell tower. Well, today is the day where my dream comes true!! At 1 o'clock I will begin my journey up the 273ft Campanile bell tower. If they are any good, I will post some photos of the view.

 

Fantastic, BBW .

 

Cool enjoy! look forward to the pictures!

 

Coffee sounds good

 

Then out "shedding" again which does not sound so good

 

Enjoy your last 2 days BBW

 

Shedding sounds good to me!! (saying it like that makes it sound like some dirty fetish) I can't wait till I can begin faffing around with sheds and the like. My brother is contemplating building a "games shed" at the bottom of the garden when he has kids. Basically a shed with a TV, PlayStation, dart board and tea and coffee (and hot chocolate) making facilities. Sounds like the ideal shed...

 

Put a beer barrel in there as well and it sounds heavenly!!!

 

Grete Waitz dies, a sad loss.

Taken from mbl.is

One of the most famous woman in the history of running, Grete Waitz of Norway, died this morning after several years of struggle with cancer, 57 years old. Waitz was one of the best European woman runners in the lst decades of the twentieth century. Initially she concentrated on the middle distance running and broke the records in 1500, 3,000 m and mile run. Waitz gained the world record in the 3,000 m race on two occasions in mid-seventies. Waitz later turned herself in to götuhlaupum shift. She became world champion in the marathon at the world championship in Finland in 1983 and won silver in the same event at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in the following year. She won New York Marathon nine times between 1978 to 1988. Also, she won the London marathon twice. No one has won more New York marathons than Waitz. She had to stop competiing in the marathon at the Olympic Games in Seoul 1988 due to injury. She ran her last marathon four years later in New York. Waitz supported her friend Fred Lebow founder of the New York marathon, when he had been diagnosed with cancer two years earlier. Last year, Waitz was honored by the International Ólympíunefndinni for her achievements and contributions to women's sports.

Ein þekktasta hlaupakona sögunnar, Grete Waitz frá Noregi, lést í morgun eftir nokkurra ára baráttu við krabbamein, 57 ára gömul.
Waitz var einn allra fremsta hlaupakona Evrópu á áttunda og fram eftir níunda áratug síðustu aldar. Í upphafi einbeitti hún að brautahlaupum og standa met hennar í 1.500, 3.000 m og míluhlaupi ennþá. Waitz bætti heimsmetið í 3.000 m hlaupi í tvígang um miðjan áttunda áratuginn. Síðar sneri Waitz sér í ríkara mæli að götuhlaupum. Hún varð heimsmeistari í maraþonhlaupi á heimsmeistaramótinu í Finnlandi 1983 og hlaut silfurverðlaun í sömu grein á Ólympíuleikunum í Los Angeles árið eftir. Hún vann New York maraþonið níu sinnum á árunum 1978 - 1988. Einnig vann hún tvisvar Londonmaraþonið. Enginn hefur oftar unnið New York maraþonið en Waitz.
Waitz varð að hætta keppni í maraþonhlaupi á Ólympíuleikunum í Seúl 1988 vegna meiðsla. Hún hljóp sitt síðasta maraþonhlaup fjórum árum síðar í New York. Það gerði Waitz til stuðnings vini sínum, Fischel Lebowitz stofnanda New York maraþonsins, en hann hafði greinst með krabbamein tveimur árum áður.
Á síðasta ári var Waitz heiðruð af Alþjóða Ólympíunefndinni fyrir afrek sín og framlag til íþrótta kvenna.
