Thanks, rusty - not live, then.

Not many more opportunities to watch Usain Bolt!

Hello, Elle,
Yes, I pay the sourcerer (is that a word?).
He looks after the cars of my son, his wife, and also Miss O and Miss La Bamba, too.
MOT's, services etc. for the four cars and works van.
They speak well of him.
He has close ties with several dealers and does the mechanical work for at least one car dealer.
Part of the "brief" I gave him is "trouble free reliability!"
You have to try!
We shall see.
There is no rush. My MOT is until early November.
Weather has brightened up but rain forecast for tomorrow!
Mazda is Japanese, yes.
I liked Nissans, but there are some great cars on the road nowadays.

Chris, it is "live" on TV on Saturday when the meeting takes place.
I don't know if Bolt is running.
I hope so!

Hello Chris,
There is something odd here?
That link you have given refers to a Golden Spike meet that took place on the 27.12. 2009!
The Paris Diamond League to which Rusty refers as showing on EuroSport on Saturday, is also shown as Highlights on Sunday on BBC2 at midday.

And it is called the "Meeting de Paris" and Elaine Thompson is running!

I don't think so, elle. It appeared on the BBC site this evening, and the "external link" has today's date.
I'll post the link again, then follow it to see if I get back to the same site!

Yes, it does link to a Czech meeting dated today. Bolt was unimpressive, apparently, though he did win.

Chris...I'm an idiot!
I read the time taken for the race as the date!
Apologies!

First laugh I've had today, elle. The weather has been unbelievably miserable - I'm expecting our golf match tomorrow to be called off for flooding!
