However, to counter that it has been good to see some familiar faces again & join in the banter.  Today the chat has been wicked...all about a certain social media imposter.  About 24 hours ago, a parody character of UK Athletics' Head Coach, Charles van Commenee (pictured left with Aston Moore during our warm weather training camp in Formia, Italy earlier this year), introduced himself to all on Twitter under the guise "Charles van Comedy"...it seems no one's views, approaches or actions are safe from scrutiny, debate & in certain instances ridicule.  The tweets have divided opinion to be honest, some seeing the funny side & suggesting we all need to laugh at ourselves once in a while, whereas others see the joke as going a little too far on occasion & putting UK Athletics in a bad light.  One thing no one can decide upon though - "who actually IS Charles van Comedy?"

Is he a he or is he actually a she?  Is he a disgruntled athlete with an axe to grind?  Is he an athlete with a mischievous sense of humour?  Is he a sprinter, or a thrower?  Is he based in the Midlands or at Lee Valley?  So many questions, so if you have any opinion on or insight into the matter, drop your thoughts on my contact page...
