    OK, Cyclonic- I'm back from the surgeon; no lobotomy needed because there aren't enough brain cells left to make any difference!
    How about a Horse Triathlon, say at Windsor. Run a mile on the flat; then horse and jockey swim a mile in the Thames; and finish with a two mile crooss country chase on the river bank?
    PS. I reckon you Aussies would go for that!

    I'm tempted Cyc. I know my son would be there in a shot (he travelled Australia and Islands for a year - will never forget it). He told me the sunshine coast was very nice. He also visited Fiji and Cook Islands. Just looked at Cook Islands on Google Earth. Couldn't believe how many houses there are on it.

    That's only four miles Tam. If some ironbloke can swim nearly 4ks, cycle another 180ks then run 42ks, surely our cloned super horses can get a bit further than just four piddling miles.

    PS, I'm glad that you got home without the knife being taken to the think machine. <ok>

    Hi, Ron. Trust you are well.
    Cyclonic, the thing is we humans have far more stamina than our four legged friends. Anyway, the bookies wouldn't want the races to last too long- not enough shekels going into the satchels!

    I'm OK Tam thanks. The sun is shining and we have a nice fire so I don't feel so cold. Yesterday was freezing. Hope you are well.
