    Lawnmower Olympics

    Was discussing next year's annual lawnmower marathon with the crew last night and we'be come up with a great wheeze for this Olympic year.

    We are going to approximate some Olympic sports with lawnmowers.

    My suggestion is synchronized mowing. My vision is to get a team of mowers in motion such that when viewed from above the combined action will look like the workings of a clock.

    I envisage that there will be 2 sets of teams mowing in a circular motion and I will act as the balance wheel rapidly oscillating between a ten past and ten to position. For this I will need a simple push rotary affair that allows me to go back as well as forwards.

    Other suggestions from the crew included lawnmower hurdling, underwater mowing and

    Be careful we wouldn't want there to be a nasty accident where the blades sliced off both your hands you and you were unable to entertain us with your obvious wit.

                But I don't know if you mean great reps to bring you back to retard level as you are proud of it or great reps as in someone actually thought you said something remotely interesting / correct?
