Marjorie - relax. As an injury-lawyer I have already taken the precaution of phoning the police, council, and the Health & Safety Executive to get clearance for the event. My colleagues were threatening to hand out business cards to anyone who fell over otherwise.


If you would like to PM me I can give you reference numbers and officials to talk to if you need reassurance.


Now... do all competitors have their mandatory safety equipment (hard hat, elbow & knee pads, bucket for vomitus) and please bring your insurance waivers with you, countersigned by your mothers on the day.


Good luck all.

My brother is a senior official at the Highways Agency and he has, as a favour, programmed in signals on the A2, A3, A20, A23 and other major arterial routes into South London, warning of likely disruption in the East Dulwich area. Local diversions will be in place, with Lordship Lane and Forest Hill Roads being one way for the duration of the event, and for 4 hours afterwards, to aid free through flow of traffic. Locals are advised to stock up on essentials as there will be no vehicular egress from the cordon during race hours.


At least someone is thinking of the needs of the Motorist.

Oh well done Ted. We forgot that last year and the chaos caused by a dozen joggers on the pavement to the traffic of SE London was negligible. But better safe than sorry. Unless you're an injury lawyer like me in which case sorry doesn't cut it and we'll give you 100% of your compensation.

Drinking in 2 places, travelling between the 2 on foot?! Outrageous behaviour. I'll have you know that my stag night organisation committee submitted a route plan with likely diversions 6 weeks before the event and allowed local residents a chance to comment. Have we done this? For shame.


And what about all those people standing along public highways and at the 2 pubs just, well, banging their hands together?! Noise pollution, might wake baby. Officer, officer...

Jeeesus! I have just thought - WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT??


15 lardy people wobbling at some speed down the hill is bound to generate a huge CO2 footprint so creating a green-house micro climate in and around Barry Road.


Stop this now or I will report you to the Greens...


or Springwatch.

Don't worry Michael, your serious and important concerns have been addressed.


Most of the environmental impact of unfit tispy people running comes from methane produced through flatulence.

To combat this I will be distributing Shreddies before the race.*



*yes, I have waited a long time for an opportunity to post that link.

David Carnelli, Human Classical Statue, will be doing his "Manequin Piss" at the finishing line.


To be exact David will stood (wearing naught but a silken scarf tossed about his neck) on a pile of beer crates beside the finishing line. He will be proving a fluidic "Arch of Victory" for the runners, or at least the first few.


Please do not laugh at his shaving rash.

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition
