Contactless payment is down in Fosse Park Sainsburys. It's the beginning of the end. Expecting there to be Triffids outside

It's a day of achievement. Knocked a minute off my 10k PB. Must have been the Tiramisu I had for breakfast

I can only assume it's because there's actual supply now and decent stock of used vehicles. During the year I was waiting for the IONIQ 5 used prices were the same as new ones effectively, but now the one I drive has lost about a third of its value in less than a year. Glad it was bought with someone else's money. I don't think they'll end up being worthless, they'll find their market - there's been so much noise about them being too expensive (which they are) but if they can be bought more cheaply then owning them starts to make a lot more sense to a lot more people

Watching this now. It's a really compelling case for the internet just being turned off, isn't it?

It's not too late to go back and find out what that was about. Now he'll be sure you've forgotten about it and moved on is the ideal time to bring it up again. As an update, my friend replied, didn't mention it, but finished with four x's of their own

Me too. It feels expensive though, although that said I can't remember the last time I spent money on anything and didn't think that

Crafty Burger still going? Not been for ages but theirs were lovely. I can even forgive their burgers being tall rather than wide

If that makes me more interesting/stylish then it's all good

Just added a kiss to a WhatsApp message to a male friend by accident, having been rashly simultaneously composing a message to my wife in my head (the message, not my wife). Have offered to put kiss on end of all future correspondence if it turns out he actually likes it. Not heard back yet x

Still angry even now

I'd be amazed if a full bumper replacement was less than a grand, especially on a car like that. If it's largely cosmetic I'd be looking at repair/paintwork myself, but even that won't be cheap. Even minor bodywork stuff seems to be at least 300 quid these days

None of mine yet, it doesn't make sense

Shite headlines e.g. "Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca sends Stephy Mavididi simple demand". Who sends someone a demand? Maybe a utility company. I think he probably just asked him to do something, probably in person. See also "sent three word message". We used to be a country etc

Curse you social and legacy media for making me interested in the Royal Family, however temporarily

I was thinking that the absence of crisps in the house represents a net gain for me until I remembered that I often buy one of those massive bags of Sensations or whatever on my way home "because it's Friday", and end up eating all of them and THEN having dinner. It's a good job I'm an elite athlete, that's all I can say

I didn't even bother looking. I've even tracked down all the odd packets that fall out of the multi pack bag under the stairs and into the plastic bag stash, which have been a source of great joy and comfort on previous occasions when I've stumbled on them, let me tell you

I'm saying this as someone who couldn't give less of a f*** about these people and this ridiculous circus (yet here I am!) but it really is a no-win situation for them isn't it? My first thought when I saw it was, if she looks that well, why have they been hiding her away? I then went back to thinking about how nice it would be if there were some crisps in the house. But imagine if they'd put out a picture of her looking poorly or even just a bit tired? Everyone would be shrieking about her having days to live, so what they've managed to do really is the worst of all worlds, well done lads. My wife's theory, based on absolutely sod all is that it's eating disorder related

Did another 10k yesterday, happier with that than the event last week. First half of it averaged about 8:12 a mile, which I was quite pleased with, unsurprisingly dropping in the latter stages but still only 8:36 a mile overall. Only got to knock 10 seconds off that to come in under my PB

I'm increasingly becoming a fan of a Things You Should Have Done on the old iPlayer. I was much amused

Absolutely agree. Only disappointment was that when they first came out the introductory price was so low I thought it was a budget brand, was a bit crushed when they started charging full whack

Done my weekly shop there more than anywhere else, so much so that I was sick to death of it and had started going to Sainsbury's, mainly as it's more convenient. You go to the same store most weeks for two decades you do start to go a bit potty. I did go to Freeman's Common Morrisons the other week and thought the refit had really helped, it was actually quite nice to be in

Thought I'd try the Abbey Park 10k but that's sold out. Whoops

Thanks folks. I was a tad disappointed as that's a fairly standard practice time for me and I usually hope to go a bit quicker in an actual event. Now I'm home it feels like I'm coming down with a cold, so there's my excuse for being disappointing

54:28. Alright, but not great. Quite a twisty turny and up and downy course. Sorry to get so technical

This reminds me of Wilko. I went there a few months before it collapsed, having not been for a while and I couldn't believe the state of it. Ridiculously, I did one of those "how did we do?" surveys on the receipt and I very helpfully told them how I thought they'd lost their way and about what used to make them great. This was as absurd as it was patronising, because of course it was completely f**ked by that point and there was no turning back. Last time I was in Asda it felt a lot like Wilko did
