Fellow marathon bloggers: Michael Cox's post-jog blog
http://nottinghamrunners.blogspot.com/2008/04/michael-coxs-post-jog-blog.html
Tuesday, 15 April 2008. Michael Cox's post-jog blog. Children's author Michael Cox donned the cape, mask and outfit of his new creation Johnny Catbiscuit to run the London Marathon in aid of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. He tells us how he got on. Just back from Londonland Marathon. Still feeling more or less OK, apart from having to walk downstairs backwards due to aching knees. A great run in all, taking a mere - but truly magnificent and fun-filled - six hours. How ever did I get here?

The Watcher: April 2008
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008_04_01_archive.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 26 April 2008. Well, I don’t know if it was just low expectations following last week’s flattish effort (and previous two-parters stinking the place up), but I ended up rather enjoying that. Not sure it all quite hung together, but there were a lot of very pleasing bits - not least the fact the Sontarans are rather interesting all of a sudden, aren’t they? Been done, hasn’t it? Sontarans aside, there was a lot for oldies and newbi...

bigcarper: Dedicated follower of fashion
http://bigcarper.blogspot.com/2008/06/dedicated-follower-of-fashion.html
Wednesday, 25 June 2008. Dedicated follower of fashion. NOW I’m no fashion guru. You can write what I know about Sir Paul Smith’s latest creations on a pin head. And as someone who used to wear dessert boots, bell bottoms and an ankle-length leather trench coat, I’m probably the last person on the planet to criticise anyone. You tell me, what is all that about? I must admit, I never did get Mrs Gertrude “Ascot hats” Shilling. But at least she was a character. Men are required to wear morning suit, nation...

The Watcher: Regeneration: Who knew?
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/regeneartion-who-knew.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Wednesday, 2 July 2008. If you can read this, it means that - finally - the Internet is cool enough to touch again. As has been widely reported, the sheer level of fan speculation following Saturday’s explosive climax (it reached an incredible 17.3 on the Hugh-Bonneville Scale) caused heat exchangers at the Internet’s UK hub - actually a giant warehouse in Rugby - to go into meltdown. It’s great, innit? 8217; bit…. 8230;in the Black Country...

The Watcher: Last-minute change
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/last-minute-change.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 28 June 2008. As your correspondent (currently convalescing in East coast exile) drops, drained and confused, into the Chair of Reckoning for the weekly outpouring, the mobile goes off. As your resident Mysterious Projection From The Future, I feel I’ve let you down, because I just didn’t see it coming. But did you? I mean it can’t be, can it? If it is… but it can’t be! But it could be! BUT IT COULD BE! And all that did happen, of...

The Watcher: Left in no doubt
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/left-in-no-doubt.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 21 June 2008. Left in no doubt. Well, it was the Doctor-Lite one… but otherwise this was as heavy, bleak and brilliant as anything ever done under the Doctor Who banner. It was almost… ach! Writer Russell T Davies certainly understands that - and what a brilliant, long game he’s playing with the viewers. First the showman’s tricks, the feints, the misdirections;. 8216;This season will be the ‘lighter one’. 8217; And then this.

The Watcher: An awkward silence
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/06/awkward-silence.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 7 June 2008. Strange news from another world: it appears - and perhaps you’d better sit down - some people didn’t like Silence in the Library. Yes, yes, I know exactly what you’re thinking: the chumps! Actually turning the telly off halfway through the episode. Another confessed to disappointment on discovering there was a part two due - and not as in ‘I just can’t wait another week! 8217;, either. Long-term fans found themselves ...

The Watcher: Time we said goodbye
http://whoisthewatcher.thisisnottingham.co.uk/2008/07/time-we-said-goodbye.html
The News in your area. The Unveiling of the Brian Clough Statue. Saturday, 5 July 2008. Time we said goodbye. 8230;of course, nobody. Thought he was regenerating, did they? Still, that ‘regeneration energy’ business struck Team Watcher as slight swizz, as if Rassilon’s great gift to the Time Lords - a complete cellular remix, but only when strictly necessary - was little more than the recipe for a pick-me-up, like Lucozade. That said, it only registered a 4.4 on the ‘Naaaaaah! But if Rose brought the Doc...

Fellow marathon bloggers: Paul Gorman: My marathon effort
http://nottinghamrunners.blogspot.com/2008/04/paul-gorman-my-marathon-effort.html
Monday, 14 April 2008. Paul Gorman: My marathon effort. Capital One senior security consultant Paul Gorman, 37, from West Bridgford (pictured far right in group) was running for cerebral palsy charity Scope. The only way you could describe the day itself is amazing. There is a fantastic camaraderie between the runners. It was pretty emotional at times - particularly at the end when you are fighting back the tears because the atmosphere is so charged. After the race I am aching from the balls of my feet t...

Fellow marathon bloggers: Loz Dace's marathon effort
http://nottinghamrunners.blogspot.com/2008/04/loz-daces-marathon-effort.html
Tuesday, 15 April 2008. Loz Dace's marathon effort. University of Nottingham student Loz Dace ran the London Marathon for spinal cord injury charity Aspire after seeing a close friend paralysed from the neck down in a rugby accident. He tells us about the toughest run of his life. Preparation is key. This is the first and most important statement you hear when you have chosen to run a marathon. Secondly, have I done enough training runs leading up to this, I almost collapsed after my only 20 miler so whe...
