Gentle victory at East Brighton on saturday, but my slowest time (and first 20:something) since July (I started a sub-20 streak the morning of the Lunar-Tic Marathon) - dragging myself home in 20:13. In my defence, the ground was slippery in the extreme in the muddy patches and I was (again)...

I definitely think books 2 and 3 were weaker than Northern Lights, I think the first book is inspired writing and the following two were a continuation and variance on the narrative than really building on it and driving it forward. I enjoyed both the 2nd and 3rd books a lot more on the second...

There are so many "famous" people wading in who are looking at just one topic that interests them, specifically. The election isn't about one topic, it's about all of them. It's not about Brexit, it's also about housing and education and the NHS and reducing the reliance on food banks and a...

I'm definitely intending to do that race - I love a good hill. I'd like to get involved with the Barns Green Half next year, see if I can smuggle myself into the top 50!

Frankly, tales of Glenn's demise are greatly exaggerated. He would have scored more than Maupay has done if given the same chances and while he might not be the most dynamic forward, he does have a good habit of knowing how to stick the ball in the back of the net as required. #TeamMurray

I'm having some mojo issues currently, still getting out and doing the miles but not really any training as such, just enjoying the nice cold weather. :thumbsup: I'm hitting the gym a little bit more as well, to freshen up the training a little bit and with an eye on the Brighton Marathon next...

So do I. But it has nothing to do with the wine.

Families, Shirley? You're referring to plurality in the rest of the sentence, so you must be talking about more than one person. :smile:

The other way around with Jose though, he's the solution for a while and then he becomes the problem. Man United should have sacked him in the summer of last season, knowing that he'd grown bored and started dissolving the relationships with various players and club heirarchy. In his defence...

How on earth has Marianne survived again? She's very clearly dim and uninspiring, how good can her business plan be that she's surviving? Dean is definitely fortunate to be on a team with the silent star, Carina, each week. She's got a lot more savvy than the rest of them and although the little...

I need to be realistic about how early I'm able to get up in the morning. :thumbsup: I was actually at work at 09:08 yesterday, comfortable the earliest I've been at my desk since my bosses boss was over from America in June. Today, however, I've reverted to 10am being the ABSOLUTE earliest I...

Captain Alireza Jahanbakhsh, finally restored to the line up to the delight of everyone - he'll be cheered off to a standing ovation and will hand over the captain's armband to a freshly bald Martin Montoya, finally ready to become the new Bruno. Beard pending growth.

Talking of Brighton Marathon - call me crazy, but I'm seriously considering the Duathlon option for next year. Get the bike ride done and then get over to Preston Park to start the marathon down on my usual starting position - but run the whole way flashing off my bike medal. :thumbsup:

It's a really half arsed way of picking the team of cult heroes. If it's going to get done, it should get done properly. Nicky Rust absolutely deserved his day in court and it's very disappointing he's missed out. Same with Mark Walton, largely crap, but great voice.

Jimmy "One Kidney" McNulty absolutely should be involved here - this is a criminal poll.

Like others have said, I think Spurs have massively stood still in the transfer market. In the summer they were prepared to let half a dozen players leave but didn't really get on with the sourcing and signing replacements. To start the season with Aurier as the only proper right back was...

... and then the Stockport 4 goal fail a few days later. :lolol: Not to mention the various other times he shipped in many, many goals. Norwich away under Gus, for example...

elninobonito Las Vegas 10k sounds like fun - a bit hot and sticky though, in my experience of Vegas! I'm not sure where you could go for specialist advice in Crawley, but I know they have both a Decathlon and a Sports Direct. I would try on as many shoes as you can bear to and see how they feel...

Essentially, it seems the complexity of the plot threads are lost on people unwilling/unable to invest in them. It's the equivalent of watching Breaking Bad's first season, thinking it's not going anywhere and giving up on it entirely. A series is different from a film in that it tells a story...

Elliott, Elliott Bennett, runs down the wing for me :albion2: Beautiful kit and wonderful memories of some Albion legends in that kit. Inigo Calderon, Gordon Greer, Lewis Dunk, Marcos Painter, Glenn Murray, Ashley Barnes, Doug Loft, Liam Dickinson, Nicky Forster... the list goes on and on and on.
