    yeah, a long history of public shitting at strenuous events, particularly women. Her issues was it’s all over the indoor events track and equipment,

    Wietrzyk isn’t alone: other public mishaps published over the past three decades include the 1998 London Marathon winner, Catherina McKeirnan, who dodged cameras along the way while suffering several bouts of diarrhoea. Paula Radcliffe, the winner of the 2005 London Marathon, wasn’t so lucky; she was publicly caught relieving herself of debilitating stomach pains by the road near the finish line, blaming it on too much gluten-free pasta and grilled salmon the night before. In 2024 the US athlete Taylor Knibb won the Dubai T100 despite having to relieve herself during the race, uttering the immortal line to a camera operator: “I just shit myself … so can you not get my ass? Thank you.”









  • is true … but alas every generation makes it worse.

    Am Gen x, 30 years ago I assumed that when the old boomers died off things would be better as we took over. Now Im left watching horrified as Gen X just helps make it even worse and I hear Gen Z repeating the same inane missives my gen did at an early age.

    It’s the thing that moved me from a slightly right of center 20yr old to a left green supporter here in Australia at 58. More of the same stupidity won’t do anything but make it worse.

    We didn’t start the Fire (boomer Joel song) might be true but we’re making it worse by just pouring more fuel on said fire.

    sure but you don’t have tomatoes all year, only a short time, even if you bottle some.

    Being self reliant is mostly impossible if you cant also hunt and forage No ones growing their own wheat for example to make their own bread, let alone collecting the salt they need as well.

    we lived off grid for a decade with a massive garden, chickens, ducks, heaps of fruit trees, made our own compost etc
