    I've found you can simply use Chrome's "right click" Incognito mode to bypass that.
    I just set Chrome to remove all Torygraph cookies when I restart the browser works perfectly well.

    Bit weird it's on tax day in Boston. It makes you hope it isn't just some lone nutter, that would be harder for the authorities than the usual suspects

    Do you honestly think I even read this thread before posting? I still have no idea WTF its about? Pigeons? Child molesters? Squirrel murderers?

    If I have to read threads before posting I may have to change a lifetime of CUK posting.

    It was nearly 5 hours after the start, so the elite runners would have finished. I would have been halfway round by then, luckily.

    3 hours after the first people had crossed the line, so that would be the elite's etc, pro runners after that and then the public a few hours after the 'winner"

    It was four hours after the start, so it was all the amateur runners by that time

    Just read that some of those still running carried on all the way to the hospital to give blood
