Sway Through the Crowd To An Empty Place

Will Cockerell writes (with apologies to David Bowie).zvs, mjw, sau sl3 16We recruited some Heroes for round three to take their protein pills and put their helmets on.Past the playground they went (Let the children lose it, Let the children use it, Let all the children boogie).After the God awful small affair for the girl with the mousy hair at Esher, Zoe Vail Smith is really finding her range now and secured a league best for her of sixth.She was closely followed by a still recovering Mel Wilkins. This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place, and will only get better from here.2k to go and an exhausted Saron Haileselase, floating in a most peculiar way, passed the TM who cried: “your circuit’s dead! There’s something wrong,” but she held on.Next up was Felicity Cole who 'Came on so loaded man, well hung and snow white tan. I told her to dispatch eight bodies in the last mile and,My little China girl saysOh baby just you shut your mouthShe says: sh-sh-shhhBut she got around six, so good on her.Down to the lake where, I watch the ripples change their size. Jojo Rhodes was fighting hard to close us in. Hey man - she's a total blam-blam, She said she had to squeeze it but she... and then she... finished well up.Anne Hegvold flew along as first reserve, whilst Megan Bailey and Vicki Goodwin were at each other all race.  The only wrinkle was losing Sally Underhill to a bad foot, which we hope is not serious.So, the Belles won by just a single point over runaway leaders Clapham – and we have achieved the bizarre stunt of going from 15th [and last] to first in a single race. On this day at least:The shame was on the other sideOh we can beat them, for ever and everThen we could be Heroes, just for one day.1 G Sanders (Ran) 26:41; 6 Z Vail Smith 27:54; 10 M Wilkins 28:17; 11 S Haileselase 28:31; 20 F Cole 29:24; 23 J Rhodes 29:46; 35 A Hegvold 30:29; 85 M Bailey 33:25; 90 V Goodwin 33:42.  Dnf S Underhill.  203 finished.1 Belgrave H 70; 2 Clapham 71; 3 Ranelagh 127. Overall:  1 CC 239; 2 SLH 367... 9 Belg 631Can you name the nine Bowie songs in this report?
