It would have been funny if Mo Farah had a big shit at the side of the road

God , even a wee would have done

TTPYO: Marathons.

Really, what is the point? We have these things called cars now. I find the whole concept to be a bizarre combination of narcissism, peer pressure and associative conformity.

Jeremy Hardy had something to say about it on The News Quiz last Friday.

But would those little smoker's lungs of yours get round the track, RCP?

I try not to criticise things I couldn't do myself. Half marathon, yes, full no.

TTPYO: Burning my flapjacks.

Also, people who sniff their way through a train journey. GET A TISSUE.

I have the mother of all colds at the moment and am never far away from my Olbas Oil infused Kleenex.

A physical challenge, a sense of achievement. How dare they!

Nude sunbathing hurts all of us

I think slightly worse is the ones who cough or sneeze and don't cover their mouths. Especially when you are sitting on the seat in front of them and feel the air on your neck.

Oh yes, that's just dirty. Didn't their parents teach them to cover their mouth? I would have to have a word if I could feel the germs hitting me. Gross.

I hate colds. This one isn't bad enough to take time away from work (indeed, only death is seen as a valid excuse for non-attendance at court) but I still feel shit.

I have loads of work to do and a head that feels like cotton wool. Grumble grumble grumble.

Obviously what I need is some sun. How about I come to Oz? You can entertain me over Easter reds, so you have a ready made excuse not to see your family. Win win.

I've caught two colds recently. I've started taking hand sanitiser out with me and using it all day like a right freako. But I haven't caught a cold since!

I've caught two kids recently. I've stopped taking lollipops out with me and using them all day like a right freako. But I haven't caught a kid since!

You and your hobbies Zooo, do you still have the top hat.

Good call, might get some of that. Can I use it on other people?

I wished I had it in spray mist form when I went to Poundland.

How can anyone not like The Antiques Roadshow? It combines the British loves of bargains and queueing.

The queueing is exhilarating but the antiques are just boring.

I assume you're only talking about sporting endeavours otherwise that's a very strange philosophy to have. I know plenty of people who could never kill a animal and yet they're the first to criticise those who can do.

If it is just sporting endeavours that you fail to criticise, than I hope you won't be one of those women who moans non-stop when the World Cup is on this summer and you're deprived of watching fake cockneys pushing each other over as the soaps get cancelled or moved.

That's a very sensible approach, thanks to international travel, we no longer have a cold and flu 'season'. However, don't go full on OCD bonkers and start keeping your stools in a jar.

Personally I think it's lovely, all these people training for some really tough exercise to prove something to themselves and those close to them. Running with some of the most elite athletes in the world and working hard to raise millions in charity.

What I don't get is why BBC1 cancels it's one morning of thoughtful, philosophical program on politics and belief.
But keeps the shitty program on BBC2 about cooking.
