NurembergVillan Posted April 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2017 A thread to celebrate whatever happened on X years to the day. Funny, sad, political, sporting - an opportunity for dewy-eyed nostalgia. It's 28 years today since Maradona did the most iconic warm-up ever - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted April 19, 2017 Author Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's also the 430th anniversary of Sir Francis Drake sailing a fleet into Cadiz harbour and "singeing the King of Spain's beard". Surprised The Sun missed an open goal with that one today. They must've been gutted they had to report on the general election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Rosie Ruiz "won" the Boston Marathon by getting off a subway train a mile from the finish and somehow mixed in with the runners unnoticed and sprinted to the finish line, fooling everybody. She was found out the next day. I've always kind of liked her for it though, great piss take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite similar scam was an ultra marathon where twin brothers swapped over and got rumbled because a journalist noticed in photos the guys watch was suddenly on the other arm they may have got caught anyway as another runner was adamant he'd never been over taken by him , but a part of me Is amused that they may have got away with it but for the watch thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
