    Could there have been a new Manx Economy Run organised this year?

    Worryingly there seem to be 2008 shots available - are there marksmen
    along the course to pick off the stragglers?

    What do they use? Telegraph poles?
    Was it a caber that got Champ?

    I know a telegraph pole in Jurby with more nous than you, and it can
    stand up straight :)

    Not that straight, actually. Took a photo of it last week.

    You bent a telegraph pole and survived? You really are lucky to be
    alive.

    heh. F maintains that the pole is bent, and I did it. I cast my eye
    round the rest of the windsweept landscape (the road circuit is damn
    near the sea) and noted that pretty much every other telegraph pole
    was at some slight angle from the vertical, but she's not having any
    of it.
