Typewriter!

Dear England, I just love old typewriters! I can't explain why. Something about the old-style need to hammer the keys.

We are so luck today with our PC, and the keys of laptops which just seem to get softer all the time.

Something about the above pic just makes me want to be a newspaperman of the old skool. Go out and find William Randolph Hearst. But then again, don't you have to catch the tape and isn't that just like the annoying toner AND tape changing of modern laser printers!

I take it back, I love old typewriters!

Miami baby!

Paula Radcliffe, London Marathon 2008

Here is Paula Radcliffe, an incredible athlete success story if ever there was one. Her career is quite incredible, not taking up the marathon until late, and then blazing a trail for all women distance runners everywhere. I was disappointed to see her drop out of the London Marathon 2008 on Sunday 13 April. But Paula will be back. She seems to specialize in dropping out through no fault of her own, only to come back and win. That's a champ.

Check out her cool website at http://www.paularadcliffe.com/ where you can see her brilliant smashing of the world record at the Chicago Marathon in 2002 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/2324197.stm Good luck in Beijing next month!

P.S. I just signed up for the London Marathon 2009. Go Fullerty!
