‘Women have very little idea of how much men hate them.’ Threads like this are a salient and sobering reminder.

Awww hello Wallis – loving the hoodie 🙂

Ask your wife or daughter to show you how to change channel

Algon organic path/patio cleaner is good

we have to sort this out

Having always previously bought Garmin watches for running and found them a bit disappointing, I got a TomTom and love it. It’s got a built in hrm (so no annoying strap) and the app is ace for analysing your run. You can choose lots of ways to set goals and it really does motivate you. TomTom are pretty good at responding to/addressing issues too. Wish the strap wasn’t pink though. Got it from Wiggle when it was on offer.

I’ve flown with Ryanair loads over the past couple of years, only time I’ve seen staff enforce ‘the rules’ was with someone trying to take six items of handluggage onboard.

Carluccio’s for its bruschetta, focaccia and coffee

You can get calorie-/nutrient-dense puddings and drinks for people who don’t have much of an appetite

Love Merrells for general off-road bimbling but Salomon Speedcross are my faves for trail running – light, springy and grippy. Need a narrowish foot/highish arch though so not going to suit everyone.

Just got back from a run – what did I miss? 😯

Mostly Bjork, Nick Cave and Super Furries. Something for every terrain 🙂

Amaryllis?

Aw see they’ve bagsied the comfy chairs. Lovely pics 🙂

Take the battery out of your bow tie

Wear more black polo-neck jumpers. Steeple your fingers.

Maybe lose the red nose and the big shoes?

Visit the National Self Build and Renovation Centre. Then … nope that’s all I’ve got.

Same reason men say ‘I don’t like to generalise and much less in a sexist way’ immediately before generalising and in a sexist way?

Cloning’s rubbish – those two sheep don’t even look alike

Just got a TomTom Runner 3 multisport GPS watch with integrated HRM and it’s ace. Loads cheaper/better than any Garmin I’ve owned. Got it for running but it would be great for improving general fitness.

Have a Bremshey Trail fold-y up-y one which has been amazing, low-maintenance and resilient. Used loads. Once ran a mara on it … Would recommend (the TM, not staring at the same spot on the wall for 26 miles).

Bjork – Play Dead?

Vaporetto to Burano, it’s lovely

Does that include changing the chime to La Cucaracha?

Few days ago I walked past a house which had its Christmas decorations up

Love Maxine Peake’s and Simon Armitage’s accents
Hate trying-too-hard posh (brilliantly demonstrated/parodied by Beatrice in C4’s The Windsors)

The hop on hop off bus is great for getting a feel for the city and its layout. Accommodation can be eyewateringly expensive! Around st stephen’s green is lovely. Book tickets for museums etc in advance if you can cos everything gets booked up (esp kilmainham gaol). There are ace free walking tours from the spire.
This museum is great

Blind Spot at St Martin’s Lane Hotel

Hotel rooms are very boring

You’re just not trying
<throws another shrimp in the trouser press>

No. Running with a swingy high ponytail is one of life’s great little pleasures. I have a dodgy shoulder at the moment and am stupidly sad because I can only tie my hair back in a pathetic nape-of-neck abomination.

Something 4 the Weekend – Super Furry Animals

Shock Absorber Active Multi Sports Support. Wiggle is usually best for price/returns policy.

Slough is what Scafell would look like if you let town planners loose on it

Slough is in a part of the country which offers “pleasant environments”

Yeah but not the bits that have Slough in

Algon[/url] is good and not too evil

Dogs are models of stoicism when it comes to dental pain so the fact that they don’t act like they have toothache doesn’t mean much. My bearded collie had 3 teeth out (and the rest cleaned) at 14. Tough decision but it all worked out. She was a bit grumpy afterwards – but only cos she was hungry. She cheered up no end after a load of MandS chicken.
