Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

My immeadiate reaction on hearing of this incident in yesterday's marathon was to ask the question "Whatever happened to the Rule of Law?". Irrespective of the event or who you are, peeing in the street is an offence, normally punishable by a fine. Although a constable has the power of discretion, I simply do not see why she was not nicked there and then, especially given the fact the marathon route was lined with hundreds of portaloos.

Although the concensus of opinion is very much in favour of the marathon, nevertheless for local residents along the route - especially those such as myself who are forced into vacating their properties on race day - the event is an annual nightmare to be avoided at all costs, as the great unwashed hoards of screaming kids, drunken louts, half-wit grandparents and their ill-mannered, obnoxious offspring descend into the locality

It has therefore occured to me that the London Mararthon, as such, should cease to exist and in it's place should be a British Marathon, held in a different location each year. As a starter, why not the Lancashire Marathon, encompassing towns such as Accy, so that everyone will get the opportunity to view that delighful millionairess, Mrs Radcliffe, dropping her strides and peeing on Blackburn Road.

Who is in favour of this magnificent sporting event gracing the streets of Accy?

when i was a kid i was told to goto the toilet befoe setting off on a long journey

i dont see why she shouldnt do the same

if she dosnt want to stop to pee there are things she can use like cathiters and the things like spacemen and women use to pee into when in zero gravity

simply no excuse for peeing in the street its dirty no matter what the excuse

my 2 cents :D

Maybe they tried but could not catch her :rolleyes:

i remember a guy i know comin home from the jazz club in the 60s doing the same thing at 1-0 in the morning in a doorway of a shop in burnley rd. no traffic in those days,he was arrested and charged with indecent exposure, they have changed the name of the offence nowadays,does it not matter anymore?how would paula or anyone feel with that in the local paper?the mind boggles.

the lesson is to go to the toilet before you go on a 26 mile run or get better bladder control

When You Are Picking Up Just Under Half A Million For Running Round The Block You Can Pee Anywhere You Want~

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

half a million

now that is taking the pi$$ :eek:

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

when paula was four miles off the finishing line being a blonde she thought to herself if they give me another 80 grand it would have been half a million!at this paulas tummy went all squishy and she needed to pee so low and behold she peed,i was nearly nicked for that in preston centre on a lads night out couldnt wait to get to the next pub (you know what its like lads...... ask paula) lob.... out it comes next minute police all over, my mate said that i was just emptying my caffiter bag and i got let off.

To pee, or not to pee......... I suppose we're lucky it was just a pee. After all, it could've been worse and I don't think they make dog pooh bags or poop scoops for people. I like the idea of a British Marathon, although if it ever gets to be Accy's turn, I think I'll bog off to London for the weekend and visit Pendy and Tealeaf.:D

TOILET PROBLEM

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Its already been worse. She crapped her pants in Athens. Thats why she packed up that race. What is it about these athletes that they have to do these things? Really, have they no shame?

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

perhaps she was trying for an allmighty fart to give here that extra boost over the finish line and followed through accidently :rolleyes:

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

i think i must have been on another planet ,i mssed all that ,,i saw her crouch down along the course but i thought she had cramp...i get bored watching the elete runners ,,i much prefer to watch the fun runners ,,i wish they would show more of them, than the money grabbing top athletes ,,,pity they dont do the run for charity ......
WELL DONE ANYONE OF YOU NORMAL PEOPLE THAT RAN ........hope all your aches and pains soon go

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Possibly....then again, it could just have been all that foreign muck she was eating out there. She should have stuck to a couple of bacon butties prior to the race.

Anyway, this is a serious thread....Who would like an Accy Marathon?

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

as long as the money raised goes to a PROPPER LOCAL charity i think it would be a good thing

Is it possible to create a 26 mile course in Accrington, even if you include the rest of Hyndburn I think you'd have to lap it a few times.

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

What happened to the Hameldon Hill race that used to run every year simular time to the London Marathon?!?!? has it stopped?? remember my brother doing it n didnt do too bad. It used to go past where i used to live n finish on Peel Park feild aka ole Accy stan ground

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Just imagine if the rest of the competitors followed Paula's shining example;viewers would wonder if they were watching the Boat Race! Seriously I don't think it's the greatest idea to take a leak on national television;I thought she had wimped out at Athens thru heat exhaustion not because of an embarassment in the knicker department! Give it up Paula and do something a little less taxing,darts maybe??

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Is that what she was doing?!?!? i thought she looked like she was going to pee at the time but thought ...nawwwww she wouldnt do that shows how niave i am pmsl

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Sadly so;there is no dignity in sport these days;if you can call a very tedious long run "sport"!!!!!;)

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

Why should being a famous athlete, and a very rich one, make Ms Radcliffe different from everyone else? If any other runner in that race had done what she did there would have been an outcry.

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

i think instead of a full marathon may be a mini marathon

i doubt there would be enough people in accy fit enough to run a full marathon

the people who would actualy care enough to do it would be older and no spring chickens

most of the people young enough to do a marathon would be glued to their bottles of white lightening and WKD

Altough once a very good long distance runner those days are unfortunatly behind me for ever but for a decent charity i woulda got off my arse and done a run but definatly not a marathon lol

a smaller run would enable more people to join in and raise mor money for a good cause


i would recomend that anyone running for charity donate to the C.O.P.M.F

Chav Ones Pocket Money Fund :D

There are very few truly altruistic people in the world.

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

I have just noticed this thread.

Eeeewwwwww and yuk!

I would have done my ablutions before it all started, not during

Re: Should Paula pee on the streets of Accy?
 

I would beg to differ there PurpleLass. I think there are plenty of altruistic people in the world, it is a criminal few who take advantage and misdirect the funds.
