Yay UK won a medal in the Winter Olympics

First one in forever by all accounts - shame it has to be for hurtling down a hill head first on a tea tray! Mind you anyone that does that at speeds in excess of 70mph deserves a medal. And it was a girl that did it, Shelley Rudman. We have some really brave sports women around at the mo.

It reminds me of I test I had during my cancer treatment. I had to lie on a tea tray ed under a big scanner, while some injected isotope whizzed round my body. The isotope was picked up by the machine as it passed through my heart and they could then measure my heart function - to see if it could stand the damage chemo would inflict upon it! I remember thinking you wouldn't have to be fat as the tea tray wasn't large and you had to lie completely still for 20 minutes! Wonder what my heart function would be at 70mph?
