It wouldn't sway me, no. I can't speak for others though, and as long as they weren't being violent, I don't see the problem with the vegans turning up to express their views and demonstrate against something they disagree with, any more than I had problems with the pro-Palestinian demonstrators...

The substantive point in Naylor's article (that Stephens has behaved better to the Albion than Payet has to West Ham in superficially similar circumstances), is not totally without merit, however...

I've never come across this personally, although as a veggie, I probably wouldn't mind someone feeding me (or my goat) vegetarian food... This argument sounds very redolent to me of all those discussions of homophobia (including some on NSC) in which someone invariably posts something like "I'm...

OK - interesting thread, and some predictable themes and theories in it, as well as some strident views on both sides of the fence. FWIW I've been a vegetarian since 1974 (when I left home, and realised that I could live happily without meat, which I'd never really liked). Whether or not humans...

Cheers. I'll be focusing on building up the time on my feet during the next few weeks, as I'm training for the Brighton half - never run a race longer than 10k before, so it's a challenge for me (i was signed up for it last year, but had to pull out with a stress fracture the week before the...

Game on..

I'm doing the Brighton half too. My first half marathon - first race I've done longer than 10k, so a bit daunting (especially having pulled out of the half last year a week before due to injury), but training going ok so far.

I also had this experience today, but ironically I think it might have been helpful. I always go off far too fast in the Parkrun, and then end up finding I can't maintain that pace, and my overall time is worse. Today, I started relatively slowly because of the initial congestion at the start...

Yes, I'll be 62 this year. Luckily, because I only started running three years ago my times are still improving (albeit slowly), so my AGs are improving faster. I assume I'll soon get to the point where the negative effects of age start to offset the positive effects of training, but it hasn't...

Bugger - I was quite pleased with today's personal best (21:59 - the first time I've got under 22 min), and thought that would put me nicely up the AG rankings with 73.62%, but you've beaten me already!

I'm pretty sure it is waterproof (mine seems to be....) http://runreporter.com/running-gear-reviews/forerunner-235-swimming/

Yes. The mods on the Leicester fans forum do not appear to share Bozza's scruples, so a cut-and-paste version is still to be found in this thread. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/110090-knockaert-article/

I know that Hughton used to write a column in the 1970s for the Trotskyist newspaper Newsline, so if he's reverted to earlier form and is writing in Socialist Worker or similar, you're correct that I wouldn't read a rag like that.

The big question is whether the latest allegations hold water...

Whereas, by contrast, you seem a pretty reasonable and temperate chap, not given to berating or denigrating others?

Not really - a couple of previous posts had helpfully explained that it referred to Mormons (so the missing letter was M), but I can't find an 'M' in European Union....???

I think you mean "uninterested" as, when it comes to politics, the middle ground are anything but "disinterested" http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/disinterested-versus-uninterested. You can say what you like about Herr Tubthumper, but he does at least have a basic grasp of...

Just checking: what letter is missing in mor*ons and replaced by the asterisk? I really can't work it out, as I'm not even one professor.

They're hideous, I agree, but having had a pair for a couple of months, they're so comfortable to run in and if nothing else they are helping me get back into longer distances and reducing my anxiety about a recurrence of the stress fracture I got from over-training last winter. My current plan...
