Frequenters of an earlier incarnation of "Whitemoss Online" shall recall my (ir)regular column. Alas, with its demise, my services were rendered redundant but I have gladly accepted the offer to end my sabbatical and take up the reigns for a second spell. Fear not, I promise the gossip is non-offensive and in good taste.

Visit From a Dark Knight
The above image represents the Whitemoss delegation which attended the 2009 Scottish Athletics Annual Awards Dinner and Dance, lording it up with Sebastian Coe. One mystery of the evening remains unsolved. Sources indicate that the securing of transport homewards was not a smooth process for all concerned. Allegedly, and one stresses allegedly, one of the half dozen photographed, during a lengthy wait, found Batwoman and Robin eagerly trying to engage him/her in conversation. Given the lateness of the hour, our unfortunate victim was non-plussed and none too taken by the attention and in particular kept the location of their place of work close to their chest. Enough information dribbled through to elicit a promise of a visit that Monday morning from the Dynamic Duo. Any suggestions as to whom The Insider is referring? No clues, that would render matters too straightforward.
Leg-ends Update
The Insider considers, in his humble opinion, further word on the Leg-ends is appropriate. The youngest member, Mr Potts, while maintaining part time employment, has returned to full time education pursuing a possible journalism career. Perhaps in a few years, it will not be Piers Morgan the celebrities are meeting?
Mr Leggate is not only back in the working world but reports suggest he is traipsing Scotland's fairways into the bargain. Look for that handicap reducing. Mr Smith meanwhile is back in the coaching fold but growing seemingly disgruntled at apparently being under utilised. One for the newly elected coaching co-ordinator methinks.
