Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to join all you FARTers (oh stop it!) on Thursday. Other things getting in the way etc, so I'm doing it in a few hours time - Wednesday! :shock:

I've got a plan of action, but Sod's Law dictates that this will go by the wayside at some point but fingers, toes, and other bits crossed, I'll survive it. If only the network plays fair too!

Anyway, I wish you all the very best of luck for Thursday. If I live through tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you all. :)

BTW, will people be tweeting ? I noticed there's a #tubechallenge hashtag

I'm not doing it this year but last year I used the hashtag #FART a lot.

My plan has finally reached Heathrow, but I need to check for errors as it has come out sub-GWR!

So it's not as fast as my seven-hour, 15-minute time then?

By using Einstein's theory of relativity, and travelling at near to the speed of light, although it will appear to an outside observer that I have taken 17 hours, my watch will only record a time of a few seconds.
