A friend of mine is convinced that there is a society of rich people
And if you are rich enough, you can get away with anything because all the rich people cover up for each other. Not such a huge leap of the imagination, but what do you think is his evidence for such a society? Is it OJ Simpson getting away with murdering his wife? Is it Ted Kennedy getting away with the Chappaquiddick incident? Perhaps it’s Mark Thatcher getting away with his attempted coup in Africa? No, it’s Paula Radcliffe doing a poo during the London marathon.

Idiot friend: “Paula Radcliffe should have been arrested for shitting in the street!”
Me: “She was running a marathon and couldn’t hold it any longer”
Idiot friend: “I don’t care, if I had done that I would have been arrested”
Me: “There’s only one way to find out”
Idiot friend: “No, I’m serious, the dirty bitch shits in the street ON TELIVISION and gets away with it. I don’t pay my licence fee to see a woman shitting in the street live on TV”
Me: “No, it’s what your internet connection is for”
Idiot friend: “And do you know why she got away with it? ‘Cos she’s rich and they all back each other up and [INSERT LONG RANT ABOUT HOW RICH PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING]

Just thinking about running 26 miles is enough to set my bowels on edge

I can understand why.
All that jigging about loosens everything up.

When I go running albiet much shorter distances, I fart like a trooper.

Never done it myself...
... but I've been perilously close.

Being five miles from home with not even a public toilet en route while in that situation is no fun at all. And the paradox is that, if you run, the need grows; if you don't, it's that much longer before you reach the safety of a loo.

True
My friend whose on a bit of a fitness kick at the moment texted me last week to let me know he'd gone for a 10k run and shat himself at the end, just as he got back into his road.

That is possibly the strangest claim to fame I have ever heard
certainly the strangest involving an Olympic athelete and tammys
