The trade experts at Sussex Uni estimated that the benefits from the newly signed (and much heralded) trade deals amount to about 50p per head of the population. And that the trade lost was about 170 times that value.
Happy to be corrected if wrong, but I'm really beginning to think that not...
Pretty much the only time that I've been a motivational tool (as opposed to just a tool).
I'm wondering how many PRs will happen tomorrow. The club is descending on Bevendean - or planning to. That course is bad enough on a perfect running day. I'm anticipating that maybe some of the prom...
You can't keep a good man down! My experience is that wives are usually right.
The joys of club membership. Last night hill circuits session. Not only does the coach give you your split times but he writes down everyone's finishing time and then reads them out comparing them with the times for...
I wouldn't claim to be an authority on the matter, but having looked at your posts I get the distinct impression that you are not keen on any politicians? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
My missus got me into Wordle and now we lie in bed with our phones trying to beat the other. (We're in our late 60s so it's clearly a substitute for sex.) Mrs GNT is a far more effective Wordle practitioner (systematic etc) than me and usually gets it in 3. I like f*cking about with random words...
There's no penalty for this as far as I understand it* (despite the seriousness of the issue of giving top jobs to your mates who then spaff huge amounts of money up the wall in doing them badly and then it turn recycling the money to their mates). Great irony - Dildo Harding is married to the...
It seems like the staffing crisis in the private care sector has forced this Brexit-crazed government to review the ease of acquiring the very same overseas staff who left in droves after Brexit. So, clearly this is exactly the sort of dismantling of bureaucracy that Brest was all about, or so...
Grounds for optimism here. You've still got that burst of speed: pretty sure I couldn't summon up a sub 6 dash in just about any circumstances. It's funny how tactical we get. I was desperately trying to latch onto someone as we were heading into the wind and then I sensed that someone was...
Not a great day to be running along a Sussex prom - very cold and strong westerly. There's a couple of club events this weekend, so I think quite a few of the quicker runners were saving themselves.
21.25 for me at Worthing. Not great but a old git category win and beating all the slightly...
Yet another Tory Minister wheeled out on the media to defend Johnson. All blah, blah, blah with something to the effect that it would be unreasonable to link the PMs comment in the Commons to the actions of the mob last night.
As if these specimens have the moral authority to cast judgment on...
After all of Johnson's awfulness, lies, divisiveness, dreadful failures of judgment and all the rest of it, there is still not sufficient numbers of Tory MPs sending in letters to the 1922 committee to spark a leadership challenge. Amazing that so many enablers of a corrupt regime can presumably...
Interesting and insightful but I would be wary of generalising across the population as a whole. To balance things out (a little) look at the drop in Johnson's approval ratings. Evidence and rationality can still prevail.
Terry Avey is a bit of a legend isn't he? Sounds like a good finish but also that the course has got even tougher. Talking of women runners..............
Remarkable result in yesterday's Goodwood 10k. On a course -and in conditions - that were tough, Helen Dean a VW65, did 44.10 (92.02% AG). A...
Well done: back with an age cat win. And a new opponent too.
Southsea was very windy. Quite a big turnout of 404. 21.34 for me and times were generally a lot slower than you'd see at Worthing. Hence my 79% AG was the best in the field - and the next best was a modest 73%. The wind wasn't THAT...
Good news. Looking forward to positive updates.
You steered me towards joining a club which I did and I've now done a couple of evening training sessions. I now wished I'd have done it years (about 35) ago. I think the main benefit is that whereas when you train solo you can always opt out/slow...
