Horsemeat and the Pope, is there any link? I hope it's just a coincidence that the Pope decides to resign just as the horsemeat scandal has broken. Do you think he could be implicated? It could be that he is part of the Vatican horsemeat laundering scam that has been going on for years - slaughtering the papal guard horses and saving money by selling them as horsemeat to avoid paying for Pedigree to come and pick them up. There's been some fishy laundering going on in Vatican City for years.
Actually, I don't think I have ever seen the Pope on a horse, nor any other cardinal. I wonder if that is significant? Maybe they keep them at arms length to avoid being associated with the animals. They don't even have horsedrawn carriages - preferring instead to have a motorised 'Popemobile'. Very odd.
On another note, managed to do 10 miles on the rollers last night, trying out 20:40 reps. i.e. 20 secs flat out in top gear, then 40 secs recovery spinning as advised by JH. The time went quicker, and I got the usual sweat on so it must have done some good although I feel 10 miles (about half an hour) is not enough to really do a lot of good training-wise. I must think of something to relieve the boredom.
