    [Help] Help needed with freehold query, please.

    What would concern me would be lease extension. Would there be anything stopping the 7 freehold owners extending their own leases to 999 years for £1, but when one of the 5 non-freehold owners ask to extend they would request £££?

    Looking at the table, as it stands currently it really stands out how similar my PBs are to those of dazzer & St Leonard's across all distances. My marathon time seems a little below par which I was hoping to address this year at Brighton, but given how my training is going, I can't see that...

    Parkrun in Swindon was cancelled due to snow. On a slightly different subject, I’ve looked at the wear on my trainers and notice that it seems to occur most on the outside edge. I’m a forefoot runner so it’s only at the front. Googling suggests this is a sign of underpronation, but all the...

    I guess the answer is it depends. Elapsed time is like the clock time from a race and moving time is more like chip time. Most of us probably care about the chip/moving time, but if you're at the pointy end of the race (e.g. aiming for podium / top10) then elapsed/clock time is important...

    Did the double this morning, starting off the year well taking over half a min off my 2018 SB in the first run. Wasn't really sure what do to on the second, so started very easy and then picked up the pace (aim became to complete 10K in under 45mins across them both). 9am - Chipping Sodbury...

    Based on your recommendation backing up this article http://fellrnr.com/wiki/GPS_Accuracy I've placed an order. I was slightly confused by all the versions, but went for the multisport as it seemed best value for money @ £125 including HRM strap. I purchased from Wiggle who were same price as...

    One thing I’ve recently started to look into is GPS accuracy. With regards to Garmin watches the things I’ve read so far indicates the older watches are better for this, as the focus on newer watches is reducing size and weight, and the compromise is a smaller antenna. One of the tests I’ve...

    [NSC] Does NSC still get something if we buy from Amazon?

    Bozza I amended the affiliated link to use smile.amazon.co.uk and purchased 'Tepe Easy Pick Interdental Brushes Blue Size M/L Pack of 36 - 2 Pack' (literally a couple of minutes ago). I was just wondering if this tracked for NSC?

    I think the cold weather helped me towards a season PB this morning of 21:23 (62.90% AG) and 25th place. Quite long way from my peak, but feels like I’m making some progress in the right direction. Less than 300 runners compared to the usual 500 at Swindon. The rain held off, so I quite enjoyed...

    [Help] OT neighbour advice

    My understanding is that these conditions are generally put there by the developer so that the site looks as nice as possible while they have houses to sell. Therefore once they've sold the last plot they have no interest is ensuring the covenants are adhered to.

    [Technology] Sky vs Virgin Media - any views/experiences ?

    Whatever you go for make sure you phone up and haggle. I noticed my initial 12 month deal had ended and I was paying ~£95 a month for TV alone. A quick call to cancellations reduced this to £51 for the next 18 months. For reference I have SkyQ with the full TV package (Sports HD, Movies, Kids &...

    [Help] Using a season ticket for 1 match

    Don't do what I did, first time I borrowed a season ticket I was frantically waving it under the scanner wondering why it wasn't working, until the steward pointed out I was waving it under the scanner of the other turnstile. *facepalm*

    [Food] Uber Eats

    My only experience of Uber Eats was ordering a McDonalds (meal for one) for which there was a £3.50 delivery charge, which was about 50% of the cost of the meal (or 33% of total bill). When paying that much of a delivery charge I'm not going to tip on top.

    [Other Sport] Would you sue over Ryder Cup-style accident?

    As someone who has played about 2 full rounds, what should you do if you hear a shout of fore? In your example I could see myself turning towards the direction the shout came from (to see what was going on, and who they were shouting at), which could have resulted in a ball in the face, which is...

    Snap! In fact I had an identical time to the one I ran on 28/1/17 at 21.59. Pulled my calf in the process :-(
