I AM the men in white coats! I run too fast even for myself!

Even if you all wore white coats you'd not catch me! I'm the beast released from Aldgate East, and my lead-lined CD cases will weigh you all to the spot on Friday. You're doomed!

I, and my fellow team members, shall be wearing a white t-shirt.

Does that count?

Neil, can you remember to bring along the Valium on Friday. I'm going to slip some into Anthony's water bottle when he's not looking, or god help us all ... :-D

He doesn't really, no! - But someone needs to calm Anthony down!

Actually, my friend Kris from America here at the moment has given me some 'Tylenol' which you can't get prescribed in the UK. that tends to knock you out and slow you down a bit. I'll swap you that for iTunes vouchers mate! :-)

Anyway people - the 5 day forecast is up on the BBC site, and we have a dark cloud with rain for Friday! Is that good or bad in people's opinions?

Cloud conditions matter not to me... rain means more possible things can go wrong with the tube network itself, pssibly meaning more delays.. but that's doing to affect everyone on the day, hopefully.

Rain also means a greater danger of slipping over on those glossy staircases! My trainers are slippery enough as it is!

I'd prefer the day to be as cool as possible, really. Temperature takes precedence over precipitation.

What WOULD be major is if an entire section of track in Zone 1 were to close for all or part of the challenge. That would throw everyone's routes into turmoil!

What if someone were to accidentally leave a rather large bomb-shaped package on one of their trains..

Would that disqualify them? Or just make them forgetful?

I will be wearing my AFC Wimbledon shirt on the day - simply for the purpose of advertising and product placement. Team name not decided as I haven't got a team or a route yet (unfortunate time for me to be on a Tube downer).

I'll be sure to fill a box with flour, wrap it in brown paper and write in big letters on the front

"SARS Releaser"
"For the attention of Mr T. Blair, 10 Downing St, London"

Low levels of rain are probably good for getting people off the streets (useful if you're running), but this pushes them into the tube (where we'll be spending most of the afternoon if we're honest!).

I'm looking for a reasonably cool day so that I don't overheat underground :D

We did "Live Action Mornington Crescent" in about 25 or so. Going into the tube was a relief...

Live Action Mornington Crestent was an idea mooted briefly by my friend Ernst (an avid gamer) and I a few months ago. We immediately discounted it because it would be a really stupid idea!

It was a silly idea, and it didn't work out very much like MC,but we stayed in the spirit and did silly things at each stop.

The best one had to be getting people in Trafalgar Square to sign a petition to send the Lions back to Greece....
