Mary Bignal Rand Toomey Reese. Britain's first woman Olympic gold medallist in athletics. Long jump with a world record n Tokyo 1964, plus silver in the first Pentathlon and bronze in the 4x100 metres relay (but also inside the world record) later in the week. There are many images of her but the one I retain in my head is as I walked into the weights room at Iffley Road in 1967 and she was doing amazing lifts under the supervision of her ccoach, John Le Masurier (not that one, but possibly his cousin).

I'll just point out that in 2003 Paula Ratcliffe ran the Marathon faster than any British man that year. And plenty men ran the distance.

But the best performance came from the American men's 800m winner, aged 17 and a quarter.

Barnet, Bromley, ..?

oops!

BBC2 (but just remember she ain't a morning person).

PV can focus on the FA Cup. They need to be relegated in case BorehamWood get into the EFL as they would need to beat them next season re-establish their current unique record of having beaten every other club in the top 44 tiers in a league maatch.

Can't say who the next POTUS will be in ADVance.

For Keely fans, her World Indoor Champs 800m heat is at 11.38 on Friday morning 20/3. Semis are from 11.22 on Saturday, and final is at 18.53 on Sunday.

NHS and Teachers are inflation-proofed. Why ever move out of them? Large or small they are a good deal.

Emails Andrew received detailing the trade deals involved in his work as an envoy were forwarded to JE within 5 minutes of him receiving them. These enabled the whizz financier to effectvely do large scale bets on insider information. Andrew also mentions his network, and specifically Abu Dhabi, so JE wasn't the only contact he passed secret valuable information to. Nothing to do with sex with minors just plain simple large scale treasonable behaviour costing the UK and its taxpayers money. Not difficult to think he got something in return for priceless information. Much the same for Mandelson, but at least personal greed appears to be the motive as far as he is concerned.

Is your partner nominated to receive any pension if you die first? Don't just assume so!

JFK invaded Cuba but the result was the Bay of Pigs disaster.

My partner's 18yo grandson is currently playing a season in a minor league in Melbourne, (her daughter and family are going there for a holiday starting Sunday and taking in the test there). His current batting average is higher than anyone on either side in the Ashes (but maybe not by tomorrow). But the thing is he is a bowler who bats at 11 or occasionally 10 at home in the North Staffs and South Cheshire league. His scores so far have been 10, 30, 31*, 25* and 12* fir an average of 54. Last out on 25 October. I think maybe 4 x 2 hours in the nets each week is rediscovering his batting technique

Home to Gillingham or Stevenage next (they meet on 17th).

The determination to try and score as quickly as possible left the hosts with over 3 days to reach 205 - at less than one run per over. Giving Head his, erm, head enabled the other end to take anchor in casr they needed to work on days 3, 4 or 5.

Christmas has come early with that insane set of results (and scores).

No. Friday - Salford Saturday - Sutton plus Chesterfield Sunday - Slough, Boreham Stiff, Gateshead and Blackpool Monday - Brackley.

and they hadn't thawed out when they came to Bolton 3 days later.

Gudjohnsen jnr scored for B'burn.

I've watched the draw many times. and that is how it is. After the third round numbers are for the order drawn in the previous rond - first out number 1, and so on.

In the first round the EFL clubs are numbered 1 to 48 alphabetically. In the third round the EPL and Championship clubs are 1 to 44. The teams coming from Round 2 have the sum of 44 and their draw number in R2. So the winner of the last pair drawn in R2 would be number 64.

400/800 doubles used to regular options. In the 1948 London Olympics Arthur Wint (Jam/RAF) won the 400 and was second in the 800 to Mal Whitfield (USA), the latter having been third in the 400. Herb McKenley (Jam) was second in the 400 and fourth in the 200. Rudolf Harbig (Ger) held world records for both events in the late 1930s but died in the war. Nina Otkalenko (USSR) broke both women's world records on successive weekends in 1954. (Juantorena before your time - HELP)
