All my plans to make this a typical hyperactive Sunday at Is the BBC biased? have gone right out of the window, but I really can't let today pass without noting that the knockout seaside resort of Morecambe has made it to the top of the world, ma.
Local-lad-made-good Tyson Fury has become the latest legend to spring from our world-beating sands, surpassing Dame Thora Hird's previous world boxing achievement by some margin.
He did us proud today.
My claim to fame is that I've seen Tyson running along the prom a fair few times. I'd like to think that my looking at him approvingly as he passed helped inspire him to today's great victory.
On blog-related matters, he's previously accused the BBC of 'fixing' BBC Sports Personality of the Year to stop him winning.
(He's not very BBC, to put it mildly).
Will he be 'allowed' to win this year?
How can he possibly not win? He's the best boxer in the world.
Viva Morecambe!
