International breaks, what a load of shit.

What about John Prescott wasn't working class?

Highly doubtful. Steve much prefers a Fulham reject.

The Last Leg God awful, not funny and always awkward as fook.

Super, the first thing I'm going to do is sack Rudkin and Wheelan so hopefully you will see an immediate change for the better.

Oki doki, let me just check my bank balance.

Would love to.

Ditto Feckin hate when it's this cold, and when it's too warm. If every Run could be 8-14c I'd be loving life.

Eh? Obviously they earn peanuts, that's the point - most are failing businesses being propped up by subsidies. Its also why the new Inheritance Tax rules will only affect 500 farmers who are worth over £3m quid. If you were worth £3m in assets would you expect not to pay inheritance tax? As for me and farming, I wrote my dissertation on Ecology in Farming and I currently run my own Conservation Project on the largest farming estate in Leicestershire in partnership with the land holding company, the land managers and the current tenant farmers, which means I'm there twice a week...but do go on...

Exactly And if, as the argument often goes 'if we lose land (or change how we do things) we won't be able to produce food to feed you' then it wouldn't really make much sense to export £30b worth of farmed produce each year and be the third largest exporter of lamb on the entire planet.

That's a very, very simplistic view and ignores a massive amount of issues affecting that system. Farming is a choice, nobody is forced to farm so I'm not going to be swayed by the 'they work really hard' argument. If you work in manufacturing creating something that doesn't sell, you don't get paid, therfore you diversify into doing something where you do get paid. Any industry which has to be paid purely to survive clearly needs a rethink. Lack of diversity and an inherent reticence to adapt and modernise and get on board with the struggles facing the world today is all part of the problem, should we prop that attitude up with public money? I'd argue not. Farming can be and has proven to be by the few who dare do it be both very profitable financially and environmentally, so I won't have sympathy for anybody still dragging their heels in a bygone era. As for 'without them we are fooked'. No. Many of them are part of the problem, not the cure, and the damage is untold. They've profiteered on the same scaremongering you're using for decades and it's wearing thin at a juncture where their lack of adaptation is costing the planet. I will happily back those willing to diversify and serve both plate and planet, but there aren't enough of them and that's as much by choice and tradition as it is by any lack of funding or backing.

This argument just never really stacks up. Irks me when I hear the same tropes about using 'farmland' for other means will lead to us all starving. The single biggest threat to agriculture in the UK is climate change, the second is soil degradation (caused by modern farming) and the third is biodiversity loss. Land is not and never will be an issue. In fact, if we change the now extremely archaic way we farm this Country we could produce much more food with far less space. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/united-kingdom-food-security-report-2021/united-kingdom-food-security-report-2021-theme-2-uk-food-supply-sources

Spot on. Nothing wrong with the policy. Just the usual vocal country set kicking up their usual stink because they're sad the tories lost and at some point will have to face the reckoning of out-of-date traditions such as bloodsport, extremely poor land management practices inflicting untold damage on biodiversity and the wider environment (despite, apparently, being the 'guardians of the countryside) amongst a wide array other things. The only business on earth where you can make a profit by not making a profit, essentially being given thousands upon thousands of pounds of tax payers money in subsidy just to exist. Even the Queen used to take in well over a million quid a year in farming subsidies. The system is laughable, has long needed reform, as has land management in general, and this first argument of many is basically trying to get in there early to try and halt any further progress by driving the 'oh, poor farmers' narrative.

I don't think I have a marathon in me either. I'm type 1 diabetic and yeah, there's quite a few professional athletes also type 1 diabetic (though very very few runners), so it can be done but the effort that would need to go into moderating/changing insulin, diet etc for Marathon training and then Marathon running would be far too stressful for me to make it remotely enjoyable. I'll probably top out at halves and I'll be happy with that if I can get decent times. Conversely part of me thinks ultras would be easier for a type 1 diabetic than trying to chase a fast Marathon time, especially with hiking/walking aspects and how much easier that makes it to fuel with proper solid foods on the go. Never say never though.

Hideous

Back under Vichai yes. Lets talk about the modern era and how they treat the fans. Dry your eyes mate.

Jools Holland is recorded in November

Did Saturday Parkrun a second slower than my PB the week before, finishing in 24:12. Frustrating! Ran 10K easy run Sunday morning to get over it, did it in 56 minutes at my 'easy pace' which is great, because 4 weeks ago my ;easy pace' probably would have got me round in about an hour. Good to see the fitness levels increasing!

I had 4000 followers on Twitter/X and the thought of starting again always filled me with dread, but so be it.

Made the move. Such a pleasant experience. Its like Twitter circa 2015

Had this turned into a bespoke wallpaper and did every wall in the house. Like it so much I had a carpet done to match.

I wouldn't taper too much for a strong 10k. I'd keep running as normal up to maybe 4/3 days before, get some good rest in those legs and concentrate on eating and hydrating. Morning before I'd probably have a bit of a shake out, run am easy pace 3-5k to wake the legs back up. As above though, everyone is different and reacts differently to rest etc.

You know your club has turned to shite when Union FS routinely outshine them by being personable and charitable. Good work as usual 👏
