    Good for you - are you doing Brighton based parkruns? A good number of us know each other by sight now and we're all doing the Phoenix 10k on Wednesday 10th July. That one is always followed by a few jars in the Brunswick, you're welcome to come along either for the race or the drinks - or both...

    [Travel] World Bicycle Day

    I'll post my usual but unspectacular 8ish miles from my commute. Potentially with some bonus miles if I'm feeling adventurous on the way home, but probably not. I'm not feeling too much in the legs today so I'll be keeping the journey at short as possible on the way home.

    [Misc] Parking Eye- Penalty Notice. A Rant.

    In their defence, that may not necessarily have much oversight of the practice of the company they've partnered with to police their carpark. They'll have been excited by however much money was being waved at them. The reality is, though, that they have a duty of care to their patrons and should...

    [Misc] Idiot prankster gets his comeuppance..

    I'm with you on that, that's not funny in the slightest. It's just being a wanker, nothing else. Play a prank where you pretend to throw someone's phone in the Thames, but then hand it back to them after a few seconds - that's funny. But cause someone to fall over with a load of food? Absolutely...

    [Travel] No social media profiles, no US Visa...

    I'm not sure if it was mandatory, but it was certainly in the ESTA I completed a couple of months ago. One of our group of 4 got stopped for a quick interview when we arrived in Chicago, based on postings she'd made about Trump on her Facebook page. She had to answer questions about whether it...

    If I could travel around to enjoy doing so, I really would. I need to find my golden bullet business idea, and then find a way to justify the expense for 2 years. It would be an epic adventure. Maybe the adventure itself could pay for the trip, I need to increase my social media presence! Or get...

    It is hard to believe! And even harder to believe that if I had trusted my instincts and got off the bus where I thought it would be best to, I'd have been comfortably on time! Madness. Good parkrun though, I like it. Loads of Bournemouth shirts and you pass Dean Court (whatever it's called...

    Bournemouth parkrun in 22:39 for me, I was about 2 minutes late going off (no, really) - which was a bit of a shame. I trusted the directions on the website which was a mistake, I know for future reference how best to get there. I need to return this year and run a quicker time around that...

    [Football] Richie Towell joins Salford City

    Bear in mind that Salford have deeper pockets than any League 2 club has ever had. They've got to be pushing for promotion again next season. They bought Adam Rooney in from the Scottish Premier League on big money and they won't be shy about spending a bit of cash on players they think will get...

    Or we could just bury a big stack of money somewhere in the green lands around the Amex. At least then someone would, one day, find it and be rich!

    Yes. :thumbsup: But maybe not - what sort of sessions are you doing? Are you doing any gym work as well as running? If you're going out and running however many miles, but aren't doing anything else, you will naturally get quicker until you reach a natural level and then your performance will...

    [Albion] Cristian Portugués Manzanera

    Are you concerned he might be a bit David Rodriguez?

    To be honest, I'm more of a donater than a raiser. I raised funds for Macmillan in the first marathon I ran, everyone was motivated to support me for that one but the following year enthusiasm was largely gone and I'm not overly comfortable asking for money. I support many a cause but leave it...

    As much as I'm in love with his WAG, I think we need to await a review from our resident Spanish football expert. Frutos - if you wouldn't mind, sir.

    I bloody hope not! I've come to terms with you and Badger, and big nuts stepping up his pace over all distances - but anyone else coming out of the woodwork would be inappropriate! I'm beginning a training cycle for the Bournemouth Marathon (and Beachy Head, I'll be giving that one a go!) after...

    Marathon Thread

    Course cutting is a big issue. There are multiple people who ran 2:something for the first half of the Brighton Marathon, and then ran just over an hour in the second half. Or, got to Grand Avenue and crossed the road. They're only cheating themselves so long as they don't impact the results -...

    [Albion] Davy Propper to Ajax for 21m

    Frenkie De Jong's sale for the better part of €60m and the inevitable departure of Mathis De Ligt for north of €50m will give them plenty to splash out. Ziyech is off as well this summer, so they've got money burning a hole in their collective pocket. If Ajax really want Davy, I think he'll...

    [Albion] Shirt printing

    I've stopped buying shirts more recently, but I've always been a fan of having a player name and number on there. It's a reminder of the era years and years down the line. My shirt from the 2010/2011 League 1 winning season has Bennett 7 on the back and it will always prompt happy memories. I...
