An awesome performance, but I prefer records set in races adn not organised records attempts

I agree...always a great buzz when it's an olympic event etc. But then again....there are times when its advertised even then that an attempt will be made on the WR and it's even more exciting!

 

[Gumps]

I'm looking forward to the flm mens race this year - we could see a WR through racing which would be great.

 

[The Count]

Not so sure i'm looking forward to the film though!

 

[Gumps]

Yes I read about the film they are doing - all a bit odd.

What film is this? Is it a documentary?

 

[Greg]

Nope, not a documentary, a proper Hollywood movie, ,with 8 actors running part of FLM 2006. Apparently the storyline is about how people from diff. walks of life end up doing the same thing etc etc yawn.

 

[Duck Girl]

that's - weird. why not just go run it yourself?

 

[Gumps]

Although it sounds odd, I bet I will watch it!
