The weeks going well, not much booze, so will be up for a large donation by the end of it. So my prediction/the answer is....

time 1:45:33

other thing 4.9

Is that book really good? I haven't read any books on diabloodybetes.

Cheers Rossi! The book really brings it home to you how things might have been if not for Messrs. Banting and Best! And not forgetting Dog 33 of course!:D (You'll need to read the book to see how much she means to us all!)

Hmm okay, I've been meaning to read more lately, so maybe I should. Cheers for the tip, I think I'll go and flick the book section of this 'ear forum site.
 
....Im wondering if you actually need to run the race at all Northerner? If your original pitch was write a poem about the sponsor for a donation to the JDRF I think you would raised the same amount!!🙂

I think you will complete the course in 1 hour and 59 minutes ( obviously thats not including the 4 hours you may or may not spend in A&E!).

I predict your final blood glucose will be 6.6mmols.

(I do hope as a stickler for the rules you have your metre checked and verified by an external adjudicator and a test strip selected at random by a member of the general public...:D) ....damn I watch too much deal or no deal!

It's gone extremely well so far - 69% in a week! Come on everyone, let's have your guesses and your 50p's! (Or your life savings, whichever is the greater...:D)

Sugarbum, you do make me laugh! Some friends of mine wanted to go on Deal or No Deal, and they had to write a poem as the initial selection stage, which they asked me to write - these are the poems I gave them:

I think I saw The Banker,
I wonder if he’d deal,
For me to keep the secret of
What speedos can reveal?!!

The Banker has no scruples,
And always finds a way
To find some little loopholes
But I’m going to make him pay!!!

The Banker should be worried
I’ll get inside his head,
And when I get to 8-box,
All my numbers will be RED!!!

They chose the second poem, but won't hear for ages if they've got through.🙂
 
Northener! No, you make ME laugh!!!!

My sister applied for Deal or No Deal and she asked me to write HER poem!

Ive just asked her on messenger if we still have it, it was DREADFUL- not as good as yours! but she cant find it (thats not such a bad thing....!).

Obviously I negotiated a cut of the winnings, giving the fact if she gets through I expect her to win and provide me with a life of luxury. I hope you did the same? 😉

Anyway, back to the race....I see you are doing very well at ?178! Well done! Keep up the good work!
 
At first I thought "gahh, you have to run where people can see you!" lol, but there are some very nice quiet looking places too :D I'm so glad I live in the countryside sometimes, otherwise i'd never go for a run because I'm too self-conscious!

Is that a quay? or a river or something?
 
It's the River Itchen🙂 There are usually some people around, but it doesn't bother me too much except when the hysterical women start swooning and I have to keep hurdling them...:D
 
My pop up blocker keeps blocking it !!! its not porn is it ? 😉:D

You can allow pop-ups from that one site, and I think choose whether it's just the once or every time you visit the site. Don't worry, it's safe!🙂

Hmmm...it works fine on my XP machine, but not on my Vista laptop - no idea why, perhaps it's the same problem for you? I might try doing it with Facebook or Picasa and see if that makes any difference.:(
