I'd rather die of marathon running than be caught reading the Telegraph :-)

Thanks to this thread, I have 'too much love will kill you' as an earworm. Please do feel free to join me in my pain.

I don't think marathon running, or any other sport, is worth doing if there's a substantial probability that it will be directly responsible for me being dead sooner, or more incapacitated in old age, than I might be if I didn't do it.

I'm retreating into denial mode, though. It's not as if I ever exercise particularly hard for any length of time, even when I'm supposed to be racing, and it's OK to do as much light/moderate exercise as you want ... ;)

Too much love won't kill you, Pudds, but sharing that earworm may.

Earworms are lethal. R4 played the opening bars of 'I am the one and only' at unGodly o'clock this morning. I'm annoying the hell out of people as I can't stop singing it. If I get murdered, it will be completely R4's fault.
