Saw one photo yesterday where all three medallists were together, each biting their medals. Ban it! Strip any offenders of the their medals! Oh and throw Rafaeal Nada into jail, pretty sure he started it (or was a very high profile early adopter).

Wriggling Snake Aug 2016 1:43pm, 8 Aug 2016 12,701 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake Xmas Pudding Medal. There's a race near us called Pie and Peas, when you finish you get pie and peas, should people wear those too? I am seriously thinking of a organising race called The Comedy Custard Pie 10k. When you cross the finish line you get a Tiswas type Pie thrown in your face, and a photo taken at the same time. Sharron Davies Face. What has happened?
