Life gets in the way! I've gone the other way, I've equalled my annual best of 39 and this saturday should (touch wood!) see me break my record with parkrun #40 of 2019, out of a possible 52 so far. I took a few weeks off before the marathon, and then afterwards but I've only missed one parkrun...
Dean is easily the worst candidate to make it this far - he'll be first out of the door tonight and hopefully after a brutal thrashing in the interviews. He should stick to Afghan football.
Italian football is even more trigger happy than English football - AC Milan have been through the managers like nobody's business recently. Gattuso seems to get picked up and dumped regularly, I'm sure he won't be at Napoli for too long before they want him out the door as well.
Lewes isn't even close to being deserving of being a City for me. It's only known for being over the top on fireworks night and being how you get from Brighton to Tunbridge Wells. Anything else?
... and paying the men and women's football teams the same, fair play to them.
Dogs are amazing. I was fortunate enough to attend a talk yesterday with Dr Amit Patel, some might know the name - he's a blind blogger who relies on his guide dog, Kika, to get him around. He's been blind for 6 years and had Kika for the last few years. While he was waiting to get on stage to...
Actually - I do. I have taken to using the full unofficial title, "The Independent People's Republic of Brighton and Hove". Although, that doesn't mention we're a City. I have used the expression, "The City of Brighton and Hove" when explaining that neither Brighton nor Hove, Actually is a City...
I would seriously challenge that - I walked about 50 miles last week as my bike was out of action, that's a whole bucketload which could have counted, if we're including walking. Why not include daily steppage as well, while we're at it?! Not for me, Clive.
I'm also doing Run Up To Christmas, I also know Clare (through running and Instagram only, but we've had numerous conversations post running). I'm definitely going for the 250km and I'm pretty comfortably on track at the moment. I've got 75 miles left to run (125km) and last night I was 18th in...
It's almost like a story isn't completed in the first 5 minutes of the opening episode! There's so much depth and material to the books, you have to let the story unfold and let it happen. I think they could do with not waiting too long between the first, second and inevitable third series to...
I don't particularly like him from the left wing but he does have a glorious range of passing and the more we can get him in the game, the better. I don't really buy into the "world class" hype, but I really think Davy Pröpper, for the first time, has been overtaken. In the next "your team...
I think the rise of clubs like Salford City has a lot to do with it as well. For clubs to rise, others have to fall. There's investment behind Salford, and genuine interest in the football club. Is there that about Macclesfield? Probably not, which is sad, but that's their reality. Football...
I've seen 100 films in the cinema in 2019, I keep a list on IMDb and give a rating after each one.
My top 5 are;
1) Joker
2) One Upon a Time in Hollywood
3) Knives Out
4) Alita: Battle Angel
5) Green Book
Bottom 5 are;
96) The Hustle
97) Mary Queen of Scots
98) Hellboy
99) The Kid Who...
I still believe. :thumbsup: Time is running out, if he gets a chance to play, anywhere on the pitch, this month - he HAS to take it. His next appearance in an Albion shirt will define his time here, either he wants it to the point that he's possessed, or he's resigned to his fate.
Personally...
Unfortunately, I'm going to be in Wellingborough. It's a shame because I really like the race but I don't actually think I've run it since 2015. Maybe 2016, but I'm fairly sure I've only achieved the start line once and that was because a ladyfriend drove us over there.
In RUTC news, the guy...
Come on Gaffer, you could have mentioned my 1:13:27! big nuts was 25th, I was down in 45th. Oddly enough, Simgull was 65th, knocky1 was 105th. Sadly, the chain was broken by Guinness Boy in 276th!
I'll get on the backslapping train! This thread has been crucial to my running evolution, the rivalry with big nuts has been key from the start and the difference in motivations, goals, expectations, intent and interest has been so important. There are so many reasons to get into running, and...
