THIS makes me a little bitter

So, I've been following with much interest the 101 year old marathon runner in London. Today he ran the London marathon and finished in about 10 hours.

He drinks 8 pints of beer a day, stops for beers on the route, and smokes about 14 cigarettes a day.

However, it's been discovered that Butch isn't actually 101, it appears he's 94. Can you believe it? You can't trust anyone anymore.

On Saturday The Times disclosed that Guinness World Records had refused to verify his claim to be the oldest marathon runner. Now it has emerged why the world record guardians will not be featuring Mr Martin in its celebrated publication. Internal correspondence between senior officials at the organisation, obtained by The Times, shows that Guinness has evidence that Mr Martin is a mere spring chicken of just 94.

Guinness received information that Mr Martin, whose real name is Pierre Jean Martin, told NHS staff that he was born on September 1, 1913, not 1906, as he now claims. A senior adviser to the world record company warned Guinness officials that Mr Martin “appears to be a fake, and more so, one being exploited by his company, which is using him to promote their services”.
