The longstanding campaign for the Tobin Tax was once compared to the futile search for the Loch Ness Monster. So it is apt that an MP from Scotland, Gordon Brown, has started to scotch the cynics and trumpet the idea of a transaction levy. The UK now joins Germany, France and other countries as keen advocates.

Intriguing email from one of our lecturers: "Due to extreme technical difficulties Dr. ******* is/was unavailable Monday 26th October and Tuesday 27th October." What is he, a robot or something? Did he malfunction'? Incidentally, his surname isn't a swear word, I thought I'd better remove it as it isn't very common. After the fat man at the garage thing I'm a bit worried about making reference...

Our only short day, and we were looking forward to the luxury of only having to ride 47 miles. We got to start from one amazing part of Scotland and finish in another, leaving Fort William and Ben Nevis (still wrapped in clouds) and ending up along side Loch Ness. We allowed ourselves to sleep a few minutes longer, and as our host was a fellow North American, had big fluffy pancakes and syrup

Well, it'll be done then! (Final post on the marathon - honest!) Delighted to say that both Audrey and I managed to complete the sc enic but undulating course without any major problems, other than those usually attributed to distance running - boredom, minor aches both during and after.
