The North Westward Ho on Chapel Walks is quite plush. Sells some very nice Pomona Island brewery beers too.

Not that arsed. At least we've won the CL now so that monkey is off our back.

In goal, number 31, Ederson....

This morning's Peel Parkrun completed in 30:22. Very busy this morning with extra attendees because of tomorrow's Marathon, leading to a very congested start. Once again, more congestion was caused around the tiny puddles and mud patches as some participants were scared of getting their shoes...

When I see such a group a group approaching me, I move to the inside of the pavement furthest away from the kerb to force them to walk in single file or force one of them onto the road.

The Oxnoble is my partner's local but we've only been there once on account of the landlord being a miserable bastard & it being full of Rags. I'd be seriously tempted to put an offer in for it if it came on the market & turn it into a Blues pub, but retaining the real ales.

Got to agree that Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Dudley and Walsall aren't great. However, bits of the Black Country are really nice. Some of it is quite rural and scenic between the big towns, and some of the best pubs serving fantastic beer are located here. Anywhere selling beers from...

On my last visit just used it as a starting point for a beach walk to St Annes. Was all very pleasant once I got past Starr Gate.

Blackpool. I go back every 10 years or so to make sure it's still a shit hole, and it always is.

Definitely. Which is why the day after, I decided to quit that particular job.

In the last team "awayday" I was forced to attend before I quit my job, we were all asked to provide a picture of our "spirit animal" so everyone else could guess which picture matched the individual. I provided a picture of a dinosaur, with the caption "I have no idea what a spirit animal is so...

Best track off "Memento Mori". I love its Kraftwerk like simplicity...

This morning's Stretford Parkrun completed in 30:47. Running in mild weather doesn't agree with me, so that's me knackered until October then!

Thought the songs that worked well last night were "Lionheart" by Joel Correy and "Charlemagne" by Blossoms. The former isn't really my sort of music but is a decent rousing anthem at stadium volume. The latter just sounds great being belted out at any time.

£125 for me this month after nothing last month.

This morning's Peel Parkrun completed in 30:10. Loads of congestion around the small muddy patches and puddles today. I'm not sure why so many people are scared of them whereas I just splosh through them. What's the worst that can happen?

Heads up to anyone who walks to and from the stadium. The "City Link" footpath between Holt Town and the stadium is currently blocked off for it's pre Co-op Live makeover. Went up there on the tram yesterday to go for a swim at East Manchester Leisure Centre, and there was not much going on...

Yeah, the "A" course is much more interesting. Just an out and back along a disused railway line but with ever changing scenery starting with marshes and finishing with a bit of industrial.

This morning's Stretford Parkrun completed in 30:18.

Seems like the rumours were false and Avanti will carry on for the time being, despite protests from Burnham and the other regional mayors.
