Ref your statement about switching to other forms of exercise and showing real commitment. I run. I get a buzz. Easy. I've banged on enough already probably but... I cycle. I get a buzz. Easy. I cycle up hills. I free wheel down hill. I get a buzz. Easy. I build a fixed wheel bike. I...

2022 was a decent year. Jan to May regularly running 15 miles per week. Managed my first race since 2014 with a 10k in about 47 minutes which is not too bad for a 50+ vet. Then replaced running with cycling May to October and clocked up around 2000 miles. A lot less than the glory days of...

Don't be silly.

Firework display in London. Plenty of money to burn in this cost of living and climate crisis.....

That's absolutely fantastic. BlueHammer85 was right though. It's so realistic that it has no fans :-(

Alton Towers 1992. Supported by PIL who I preferred.

The title of "Poison Dwarf" is apt. Even more accurate might be the title "Poison Dwarf Nonce ****". Putin, I really do hate it, the sub human Poison Dwarf **** Nonce thing. Slava Ukraini.

I think it's actually an updated version of the original article posted earlier in the week before the City v Liverpool match. I certainly recall reading the paragraph about Haaland in the original article. But it's poor to not update the article and the pertinent paragraph with the fact that...

I was injured a few times when I fell off my bike, usually my own fault when going round corners too fast!. So, on second thought scrap the cycling advice!

I've been remarkably free from injury and illness in nearly 30 years of running. I don't wish to boast, just recount my approach for potential benefit? My basic approach is cross training. I first got into running to train for football and then cycling until cycling took over for a few years...

Spouses and children, especially the female variety. They have the heating on for too long. They create too much washing and ironing. They have long showers everyday. They use hairdryers. I'm not so profligate.

I think Pele was bigger, stronger, faster and better in the air than Messi. This is based on the limited footage that I have seen and the books that I have read. Whether this makes him a better player or not is debatable.

Been there, done that. Last winter in the middle of a snow cold snap it was wet in the loft. So I put in some plastic loft vents, moved insulation away from edges/vents, moved boxes, chipped excess cement from vent. I monitored for 1 year. No condensation until yesterday when got Xmas tree...

But not as good a player as Pele and unlikely to become a revered worldwide ambassador of football.

Pele, Maradona and Messi in any order are the greatest. Pele perhaps the biggest and most athletic of the lot. Pele was a better header of the ball. His leap and ability to hang in the air was amazing. See first goal in 1970 world cup final.

It's an integral part of any thread to include a few puns.

Trolleys (Billy cart?). Gang Huts. Catching frogs and newts. Exploring tunnels and drain pipes. Catapults.

Bernoulli's Principle?

I managed to get out for a hour in the sunshine on the snow covered trails. Apart from a few icy stretches, which involved more of a shuffle / walk, it was mostly snow underfoot and quite safe to run on. It was hard work though, average pace down to 11.30 min per mile which is my slowest...

No. The streets are covered in ice and would be lethal in the dark. I think i said a few days ago "bring on the cold weather"!! Be careful what you wish for eh? Suddenly 5 days have passed without running ! But I have a day off on Friday so could venture onto a trail in the daytime for a jog...
