How bizarre. I've been invited to a talent-spotting evening for the 2010/2014 Olympic skeleton bob teams. It's almost tempting. And totally surreal.

I feel as if I should say, "Sorry, can't come as the BT man is putting in my line" but there's a fat streak of "go for it" right now that's prodding me to have a bash, no matter how awful it would be.

What's the injury rate?

Go on.

What's the worst that could happen?

Hammond the Hamster managed to make it down in one piece. You've got more padding than him and are less worried about your teeth.

My teeth are lovely. Just like Hammond, I've still got the reciepts somewhere...

...alas I just found the attached minimum standards. Too old, and just a bit too slow. I guess they don't want old gimmers shuffling down the track in four years time when I'll be almost OHMYGODS forty.

Still, it made oi smile.

I *so* look 24. If I was Dorian Gray's painting, maybe.

Pretend to be a Nordic God who doesn't speak English.

Ah, might not work for the English team.

You've got the perfect power/mass ratio though

Apparently not: the perfect power-mass ratio is my thighs on Jan's torso.

Which is plain scary.

Fuck - right - off.

Too disturbing for words.

I need pictures.

Not that I'm any bloody good with pictures, but then I can get Frood to describe them to me in words I can understand.
