I’d really like some advice on what’s the best option…overpay your mortgae or pay into pension ?

save up a bit, and for your 60th birthday buy a superbike and a DNR tattoo.

Thanx most helpful….Not

I’d really like some advice on what’s the best option…overpay your mortgae or pay into pension ?

Deffo only one 20 miler this weekend

Well I used to run quite a bit and did 9 Londons in a row (fastest 2.56). As others have said it’s a bit late now for training but advice is always good.

Try and run a twenty ..this weekend would be ideal. The crowd will get you home. Don’t wear anything new or untested on raceday…ANYTHING !

Do not set of too fast ( or try to catch up schedule if you get a slow start). This will bite you in the second half…which is the last 6 miles btw.

Take a drink at every water station and look to eat a sweet or something after 13-17 miles or so. People are usually handing these out but you could carry a few gummy bears or something. You’d be suprised how nice they’ll be !

If you start to flag a bit just concentrate on hitting the next mile & once you get in the home stretch you can use the memory of your short local runs to lessen the “fear” of another 4 miles to go etc.

If you live local…go to the Exhibition & pick up your number early in the week and enjoy it. Maybe get a massage.

Enjoy the run..the atmosphere is just great…and don’t get to the park too early on race day if its still cold. Take a disposable t-shirt and bin liner to keep you warm & dry while you’re waiting to get going.

If someone is watching you on the course. Pick a specific spot including which side of the road for them to be. It’s a great lift to see friends etc but also a deflating blow if you miss them!

Enjoy your beer afterwards! Good luck.

Why don’t you just take out a credit card and get one that way…presume you could just cut it up when it arrived? (the card not the meercat )

Agree with Northwind… I manned it up for a couple of years before finally giving in and seeing a Doc….Wish I’d gone sooner now..may have save a little bit of gristle in the joint if I had 😥

Could be an actual hip issue. That’s one of the symptoms I had leading to a trip to the Doc’s who referred me to Consultant who said I needed new hips …which ended my running and started my mountain biking!

Still not had the op done though after 2 years !

Seemed an entirely sensible argument to me…Why should a bunch of crooks get rich supplying a product we have no control over. The state may as well benefit and surely gun deaths would fall.

Yes…I’m enjoying it too….not sure where we’re going though ?

OK not a crow but this episode always makes me laugh

Thanx Fuzzy …..made me laugh too

Had you told me that 3years later he’d be buying a £30 million property in Hollywood due to earning from ‘music’ I would not have believed you!

Still don’t Tom…Can’t see how the sales of their CD’s & crap merchandising can net him £30 million by now or ever…Is that really true or perhaps he’s just borrowed a lot?

Oh just googled this $3 mill not £30 mill…even so makes me sick !

The Daily Star reports that Harry has his eye on a $3million home in trendy and super-elite Los Feliz, which boasts a gym, a pool and “sprawling grounds…”

Is that Harry? I used to teach him, nice kid. Funny gif though.

Not singing obviously

Thin lizzy – little girl in bloom

The best!

Nice one Banks I haven’t heard that before and I think I’m a big Lizzy fan. Is that Gary playing?

I guess as this is the person who was featured in a film shown last night on TV ???????

And Black Mirror is back next week, first one looks a right creep fest

Yes I’m really enjoying Utopia too… but didn’t see Black Mirror last series……Will I need to have seen it to watch the new series do you think?

Watched Predators on Film 4 last night expecting it to be rubbish but actually I rather enjoyed it !

If you’re doing exactly the same thing each week. Then I reckon you will lose weight until you reach an energy balance. After that I’d expect you would have to create a different imbalance for your body to use up fat reserves ?.

This is what I can’t quite get my head around…shouldn’t the weight loss continue forever if you are in a calorie deficit position….or is it that the “lighter you” requires less calories to operate and this is where the balance occurs ?

Excellent vid thanx for posting. Like others I was amazed at just how untidy it all seemed …I would be terrified of ripping some important wire out..but I guess all the important ones are tucked away. The Russians ship seemed to be a bit more organised.

Just wondered if any people were still on this diet ? I stopped over xmas but continued with it after New Year. Probably lost about 9 lbs now in about 2 months …though lost some during xmas.

Wondering how long the weight loss may continue?

36:35:45 and they’re watching me !

Ha Ha

His Latest Flame–Elvis

Thanx for that “info” project…most helpful if not a little stupid

I’ve been going about five weeks on the 2 day fast plan now and have lost just over half a stone…Can I expect to see the weight loss continue for some time or will it plataeu after a couple of months?

No Stairway????? left out on purpose so people still buy the DVD?

Will you be posting pictures as well? 😳

Just got weighed this morning and I think I’m just about half a stone lighter in one month….so really pleased with myself !

Well I think it’s funny as well!

Why ? 😆

Hampshire- paulosoxo near Basingstoke

Thanx Leadbasher….whats a Stat setting and how would I check it plus whether its in service mode. There’s nothing in the manual about a service mode?

Thanx all for the replies ..here’s my responses

Singletrackmind- yes the boiler is firing when the rads are cooling/cold even if water is not being demanded..hence we have superhot water.

Peasant- Alpha CB50 I think

Turin- rads heat up and then go cold even though the boiler is still firing

Takisawa2-Haven’t actually looked at it at that point but pressure is sat just above the green band when I’ve looked at it.

For info The morning after the engineer “re-pressurised” the system I woke up to no heat or water as the pressure had dropped to the very bottom of the scale & the boiler had shut down. Had to top up with water and then the pressure has remained ok since..

all you need now is a cheap woman 😳

I started this also doing Mon & Wed’s and I’ve lost 3lbs in two weeks. I have melon & tangerine for breakfast , soup @ lunch and soup & 2 slices of bread in the evening….no booze obviously. Not finding it too hard.

Thanx for the answers so far…. I know I need glasses to read but though I have been given a prescription for intermediate & distance I don’t actually need glasses to work. Question was if I get just reading glasses whould I still be able to see the computer screen clearly or will I need to take them off? If so.. then in order to stopp me messing around all day presume varifocal would be best no?

IHN…I would not have expected reading/comp glasses would help with distance vision…but thanx

3 hours.

So time to make a cup of tea then

am I right in thinking the balloon hasn’t even taken off yet? How long will it take to reach the correct altitude?

Sorry I wasn’t saying you were wrong…just that if the intonation is way out and he doesn’t react accordingly then he’ll look an idiot 😳

If you fret the 12th fret and then pick the harmonic directly above the 12th fretwire on the same string, while tilting your head to one side as if you’re listening intently to the difference in intonation, you’ll look like an expert to the untrained eye

and an idiot to the trained one

Only bit of advice I’d offer would be

Electric are generally easier to play as they have lighter gauge strings & less tension and typically a lower action. This means that you don’t need to press the strings down as far to fret them and probably they won’t bleed as much at first.

Learning on an acoustic may give you an iron grip on the neck which is not good for speed when playing an electric. It may take some time for you to relax when you move to electric.

Tend to agree with you that if you have no affinity wiyth an acoustic it’s pointless buying one though you’ll likely change your mind later if you stick with it.
