M:That\'s good.Now what should we do?
W:We need to plan the menu.
M:Oh,that’s right.What do you have in mind?

Today\'s London Marathon was won by two men,Chary Handel from Lich and Ian Britton from Auckland,New Zealand,who crossed the finish line just outside Buckingham Palace hand in hand in the time of 2 hours,22 minutes,and16 seconds,five minutes slower than last year\'s record time.They had run the whole race side by side.The first woman to finish was 34-year-old Betty Omary from Belfast in 2 hours and 18 minutes.The youngest person to finish so far was 30-year-old Shelly Mortimer from Alcester.All together,more than 10500 runners took part in the just over 42-kilometer course that started from Greenwich this morning.It is still too early to see how many will actually finish.The organizers say very few runners have dropped out so far,perhaps because of the cold weather.The medical teams had very little to do.There will be a full report on the London Marathon in this evening\'s sports report at 7:15 on Radio 2.And now for the rest of the news.
