    Sad news that a Home Pierrepont runner, Steve Shanks, died 'after' the london marathon.

    It struck me as curious reporting. I mean, when you die isn't it after everything that you've done?

    Perhaps alongside terrible puns we can remember people for what they died after having done?

    I had a mate at Uni who had 24 wanks in one day. Josh is still alive but come the day I think it should be on his tombstone.

    I think Norris McSquirter sits in on the filth records.

    My grandad told me a story about how as a young man, while having a first lunch with a young ladies family, he had found a slug in the salad. Immediately concerned about the fuss and embarrassment this might cause, he weighed up his options.

    "I gently folded the corners of the lettuce around it, and popped it in my mouth".

    My grandfather died after eating a slug. About sixty years after.
