This Old Brit To Run London Marathon ...

*

Okay, now that the headline's caught your attention, we'll confess we've pulled a fast one.

You know, led you all right up the garden path.

Of course it's not 'This Old Brit '.

It's THIS (brilliant), old Brit.



It's none other than 101 year old Buster Martin.

Man, 101, to run London Marathon

Buster is counting down to the London Marathon on 13 April

A 101-year-old man has his sights on the London Marathon in a bid to become the world's oldest competitive runner.

Working plumber Buster Martin ran Sunday's Roding Valley half marathon in Essex in five hours 13 minutes, and is now focusing on London's 26-mile event.

And not only that, but ...

He also found fame when The Zimmers, who had a combined age of more than 3,000 years, scored a hit single last year. (Buster's on the drums in the centre.)

The bulldog breed or what?

Eh?

About Barack Obama ...

If we were American here's the man we'd be about to vote for.

For no better reason than we believe Barack Obama's the best of a bad bunch.
