The trapezium as it presents itself in a phone photo is the opposite of reality, as the upper and lower perimeters are coming together on the right side not expanding apart. Some cameras just don’t get it, or some camera users simply just don’t get it.
“Believe it or not – Joe Strummer actually ran the London marathon in 1983. “I didn’t fuckin’ train. Not once. Just turned up and did it,” Strummer said. His keep-fit regime for success– “Drink 10 pints of beer the night before the race. Ya got that? And don’t run a single step at least 4 weeks before the race.” Got it, Joe…”
Well Selvedge – Believe it or not I ran the London Marathon with him – only I needed a beer so ran on ahead getting to the finishing line and over to Earl’s Court an hour earlier – finishing at 3hrs and 3 minutes.
I didn’t train either … tho’ I did for another one six months earlier
… I heard the Clash were running out of steam and wanted to give some moral support …
… Well partly not true. I didn’t know we were in the same stream of humanity on that given day – tho’ always liked them & their music … London Calling and all that … but then who gives a fuck about me and that time … Though one day I might run the London Marathon again …Just so I can say Lou (Lew) Alba (Collins) died right here on this spot on the road which Joe Strummer ran over as well … R.I.P. Joe
