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.

Instead of spending 4 hours a day for six months running around their neighbourhoods dressed in lycra, they could have used the same level of energy and commitment to build schools, hospitals and wells in Africa and things might change.

Again, the narcissism and selfishness of it all puts me off - my best time, my personal best, look how much money I've raised by dressing as a 9ft penis and running around London, oh look at my suffering, sacrifice and dedication.

As for all of the celebrities taking part, if they were really in demand and popular, they wouldn't have the time because of work. Feck the lot of them.

It is people who achieve things that I physically cannot do, due to my physical limitations or complete lack of talent in that area.

For example, "Stupid f**ker, climbing Mount Everest - what the f**k does he think he is doing?"

Or

"I can't believe she just danced the lead in Swan Lake. What an inelegant oaf"

are not phrases I am likely to say.

I perfectly capable of killing an animal, or indeed a person - I simply choose not to.

Once again RCP I defy all your sweeping gender generalisations. I don't watch soaps and had a season ticket at my beloved Nottingham Forest for much of my life.

Home and away, snow or shine I would trundle after the Mighty Reds.

Now I live in London where every football team is a soulless pile of corporate shit or Millwall.

I feel for you RCP out there in Mozambique building the, Nigel Farrage now you've got a hospital don't come to the UK hospital, whilst the locals throw cow pats and sacks of food aid your taxes paid for at you.
If only those athletes were out there helping you.

I am happy to stand corrected and I do know plenty of women who like football. However compared to the number who vocally oppose sport in all it's televised form, it's fair to say that you are in the minority.

I hate marathons, charity and overseas aid. The three have become inextricably linked for some strange reason.

Let's not mention that their running shoes were made by the same children they're trying to help, it might cause confusion.

My friend ran for the Stroke Association. Do we make child stroke victims make shoes now?

charity and overseas aid.

No you don't, unless you are a genuinely evil bastard. (and personally, the jury is still out on that )

What you hate is lack of effectiveness, bureaucracy and doubtless other complaints.

But I doubt you hate the concept of giving a child in a poor village an education and a dinner every night. Just the way it is done.

So let's change the way it is done, rather than bitching about the marathon.

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.

Lol, I'll try not to.

or anybody elses for that matter.

I have often remarked why I hate charity as both a concept and as a practical exercise. Charity removes responsibility from both governments and individuals alike. Using a shoe analogy, what happens next year when the child's feet grow and they need new shoes? It's an unworkable, self defeating system that inhibits any kind of meaningful change in the world.

And I've made it plain on several occasions my views on the corruption and greed associated with big charities and overseas aid. I'd like to take a more naïve and optimistic view but that would go against my towering intellect and cool dude persona.

As for the wheelchair athletes, they have a dog in the fight, of course they're going to raise money for the disabled, the selfish gits. (that was a joke BTW, everyone chill out and put away your self indignant ire)

RCP as you stated a few times, you maintain your individuality by being the loan dissenting voice in any argument. I have decided at some point I will experiment upon you.

I will get 2 other people to agree on one thing and see how many ridiculous statements we can persuade you to make.

Watch this space....

Would these people be pretending to agree with me or actually agree with me? If they're only pretending, then the experiment will fail due to biased conditions.

DaButt used to agree with me on loads of stuff, I miss him.

You're the observed subject...

Of course the one factor you fail to take into account is that by finding 2 people to agree with me, you'll force several members of the BCG to rage quit after accusing us of bullying.

Still, the notion of my very own clique is quite appealing.

I look forward to tricking you into suggesting the next royal baby should be named after a My Little Pony

I quite like the Royals - tourism, spectacle, PR and let's not forget the behind the scenes political negotiations from the Middle East to Northern Ireland and all the lovely trade deals.

Some of the press coverage is over the top and sycophantic and this does prompt normally sane people to say the most unbelievably stupid shite: 'Look how gorgeous little baby George is, don't you agree?', 'It's a baby, they all look the friggin' same'.

But otherwise, they contribute more then they take and impact my life very little.

I like them as they are, but I hope the system either dies with the queen or gets wound down.

The idea of Charles as a king is a nightmare.

Granny shagging, homeopathy worshipping, Muslim, coffee arse drinking loony (used in the clinical sense, there's been more than enough discussion around his mental health)

Although Millerband said he'd be the first Jewish PM, Charles as the first Muslim king.

Hooray English civil war round 2.
