Since no one took up the option of b3th's alt question
I'll just drop this here.

news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/15243825.stm

The article hasn't been updated, but the bloke in question has, this morning, just admitted that the story is true and he did complete part of the marathon on a bus.

Have you ever cheated at something and then been embarrassingly caught out?

Alt: So has /talk died then?

Alt alt: the inevitable lunch, I suppose.

Yep, I cheated in a french test by having my textbook open on my legs
Considering I was only on the second row, it was somewhat inevitable I'd get caught.

Alt: It's a lot nicer over there these days, even I post there from time to time (and I was on the popular page the other day, woo!)

Alt Alt: Home made chilli. I brought in bread for dipping, as I forgot to pick up a jacket potato. However, this gave me an idea. We've got a toastie maker at work, so I've just had a chilli and cheese toastie, absolutely magnificent. So, so full.
