    A somewhat predictable sighting, but here goes . . .

    We have had a lodger for a few months, a postgraduate student who needed accommodation between finishing her course and her graduation. She got some extra tickets for the graduation, so invited my wife and me. The ceremony was presided over by the Chancellor of Loughborough University, a bloke who used to do a bit of running: Sebastian Coe.
    In his lifetime he suffered from unreality, as do so many Englishmen.

    Now Anthony

    I am sure the Chancellor at your graduation was more esteemed than that failed politician and corrupt ("I see no evil") athletics administrator!

    He was looking very chilled at the time. Probably on a relaxing lunchtime trot. He was running the other way to me, or I would have said hello. I think I was "blowing" somewhat at the time, trying to keep my pace up for the last mile and a half.
