Writer in Residence - Cornwall

My good friend and Ecademy colleague Robert Rush has drawn my attention to a fine piece of blogging on the BBC Cornwall site. It follows the London Marathon last Sunday where Paula Radcliffe stopped by the roadside to empty her bladder on the way to once again winning the event. Thruster is a mature surfer (if that is not an impossibility) who draws a comparison between Paula and the frequency with which surfers pee their suits and concludes that surfers who do this must now be considered "among the most dedicated athletes in the world" rather than "a festering scumbag" as might have been the case pre Paula's pee. See the whole article here (and do look at previous blogs, too).
