Well IM as in WTC lost the fight in Oz. It’s also why there is no Burger King in Oz. (it’s called Hungry Jacks).

There was independent burger shop in Liverpool (Sydney) that already had the name before the chain moved to Oz and BK heavies tried a ‘cease and desist’ and they lost.

the good old “cease and desist” approach to which the usual (first) reply is “fuck off”.

owning a TM is quite interesting and we’ve had to protect ours a few times. the usual problem is that people give their companies names without realising that the name they choose may be owned as a TM by someone else in that business class.

We’re lucky in that we have a very good friend who was, before she retired, a trademark attorney so has advised us well. Her father was also one - his big client (for Europe at least) was a certain company that owns the world’s largest cola brand and spends more on advertising than any other company - so made him a shitload of money in legal fees!

But if you could take treadmills with you into the afterlife I reckon a number of theologians would be perplexed.

when i broke the “pressing instrument duration” world record, I got into trouble with IM…who eventually got Guinness to take the record off the books…

Is that Rola?

18:40 yesterday with 2 hours in T2 (Someone suggested an hour of that was in a hyperbaric chamber)

I made the joke, but he is going to die isn’t he? I can see it now.

I hope they’re hanging crystals and cleansing his chakra.

Day 27 - he seems to be smiling a bit more

S 1:25
B 6:09
R 7:01
Total 15:50

Looks like he’s starting to recover a bit, weather may be playing a part but sub 16 is a hugely different proposition to 18 hour days.

Just read on ST that he’s using some kind of carbon leg braces that help support your weight when running/walking. Couldn’t find any pictures anywhere but I don’t do Instagram so may be kicking around somewhere.
So we’ve no got IVs, drafting and artificial leg supports - it seems only a matter of time until some kind of engine is involved.

Something on his leg there

Lots of Love on IMJ for Iron Cowboy.

Isn’t that a perfect audience for him? Lots of bravado, limited knowledge/experience and easily influenced.

It’s funny I completely forget there’s this guy completing the distance each day. Someone posts on here and I’m like - shit he’s still going :rofl:
