    Could a blimp move at the angles/speed that blob does?

    I think Goodyear have come out and said that it's their blimp. Here's their earlier statement saying that it was going to be there:

    I don't know about anyone else, but when I have hayfever, I get itchy nostrils and/or eyes, whereas with a cold I just get bunged up.

    Watching athletics from the Olympic Stadium. Keep seeing the referees for the shot put and can't stop thinking of The Adjustment Bureau

    Same here.

    If I think it's a cold I take the hottest spiciest food I can bear and then it's usually over.;)

    I really wanted an indian tonight.... but as it's the "posh seats" area there are no takeaways for miles.... and there's no way I was going to drive out to try to find one that had parking near it ... and take a chance they weren't the worst takeaway ever.

    I suspect the neighbours fly in a chef direct from India when they want one :(

    I can't tell the difference with mine in the initial stages of sneezing and streaming. Just have to wait and see whether it progresses to unbearable itching of the corneas (hayfever) or to general bunged-up-ness and sore throat (cold). At this time of year I assume hayfever and take antihistamines until evidence proves otherwise.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
