Many people are reasonably serious about the TTs but tonight it was refreshing to be reminded that the time keeping remains often amateurish at best. Miss Kerr and Mr. Hillis were in charge tonight and apart from a constantly revised list of top three times, wrong winners called out, missed times and incorrect time subtractions everything went smoothly. Calls to introduce a timing chip RFID system were somewhat premature and uncalled for.
It was discovered that Desi McHenry is missing a vital piece of kit in his arsenal; namely a soft shell bag for his aero helmet. Upon finding out all the top people have one McHenry is now in the market. Like most of McHenry's kit, once acquired, you can be sure he will get a good 20 years out of it!
It's a bit of a tradition to do one joke a year in the blog so here goes:
Professor Smartt and Dr. Hanratty were walking across the Queen's University quadrangle when Hanratty said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"
Smartt replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, just thinking about superluminous supernova, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."
Hanratty nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway."
