London Marathon
My office is 50 yards from part of the course that runs through Docklands, so I'm up here to get some video footage for the website. On Radio London this morning a reporter described part of the scene at the start, with "thousands of people smearing their nipples with vaseline to prevent chaffing".
For next years race I'm applying for the post of chief nipple smearer for the ladies race. Anyone want to sponsor me at a penny a pair?

I would think lycra pant's creases could be rather harsh on the tender regions where thighs meet torsos, so you probably need an assistant armed with surgica gloves and lots of moisturising cream to concentrate on the lower extremeties, whilst you busily tackle the nipples.
Just a mo whilst I consult my diary. Ok, then.

You can smear vaseline on mine.
Oh, but I'm not in the marathon...

Just wait the extra 19 seconds Spider ;o)
Super Sunday Ag! Just nipped back for a drink and I'm off back to the beach.
Glorious here but the gulls are in a very Hitchcock mode - big as cats here too - shreiking and screaming and dive-bombing the tourists... never seen them like this before. Bye...

Just called back in to recharge the camera battery. The atmosphere is wonderful, large crowds cheering and clapping in the sunshine.
Archergirl, don't worry about technicalities. Just give me half an hour to pop over to Boots, and I'll be round with a large tub.
Spider, find your own race.
