How come some people get an asterisk after their score. For example I got 6/6 but greeno got 2/6*

Apparently the ~2500 word list is readily available from the source code should you want to actually verify whether swill/skill are both present

Indeed!

Yeah I get it… it’s just that in this case it’s frustratingly unintuitive. I don’t have a better solution and I wouldn’t have got it anyway 🤣

I tried without maps but it told me I needed to move 1500 mi to the southeast which isn’t really accurate (at least not on an intuitive level)

That was tough and I wouldn’t have got it anyway… but I’m a bit miffed with the clue on turn 3. I understand distance to country is difficult to define but in intuitive terms the clue was simply wrong 🤣

First game, wasn’t really sure what was going on the first row, pretty fun.

Lol! “Was over before it got going…”

You mean you trounced me?! Will send another invitation and hopefully I fare a little better this time 😀

Super thanks… no idea why I could t find it before

Are the womens / u23 races available on catch-up anywhere? Can’t see them on bbc or Eurosport (don’t have gcn)

Ah cheers. Shame about MVDP, is that the injury he got at the Olympics?

I’ve not been able to follow the season much this year. How come WVA and MVDP aren’t racing? Not on their schedules or did something go wrong for them?

Anyone fancy a daily game? Username emacdon (rating 1091).

What really helped to protect the vulnerable road users over here, is that in the 70s (following a multitude of traffic casualties, mostly minors) a new law stated that a motor vehicle will always be liable in case of collision with a bike or pedestrian, no matter who's fault the accident was.

I’ve not read the actual wording in the Highway Code (can’t even find it…!) but isn’t this what the much discussed hierarchy of vulnerability/responsibility is supposed to nudge towards?

It’s possible that the area where you fish is managed specifically for river conservation, but a quick google of “angling conservation uk” reveals that in general angling isn’t the unalloyed conservation good that your post might imply.

Today on my run I was accosted by a woman on a horse who demanded that I not run laps up and down “her driveway”. The track in question is a paved farm access road with a footpath running the whole length and a riding stable at the end. I pointed this out and a long debate ensued about the rights and wrongs of public access. I emphatically reject most of her arguments (tractors will run me over, my high viz tshirt and trundling red buggy scares wildlife, the village is getting ruined by newcomer townies etc) but her main point was less clear cut…

Her primary argument was that a) me running with my buggy scares horses and b) that many of the horse/rider combinations are vulnerable in some way (eg someone was about to take a “half doped up” horse out, or her daughter was about to go out on a particularly skittish race horse that they weren’t sure she could handle).

These have given me pause for thought and firstly I think point “a” is in most cases simply wrong… we often meet other horses, we stop and walk past courteously and none have ever expressed concern. If we are a hazard to horses then it seems to only apply to the most skittish cases. Point “b” however is more complex - a skittish horse would be dangerous to both me (and my baby) and the rider. I wouldn’t want to go victim blaming if a rider had an accident inadvertently caused by me, but surely people shouldn’t ride potentially dangerous horses (or horses that are beyond their skill level) in public areas, especially if that horse might be a danger to other people? Since getting home I’ve checked and I feel vindicated by the new Highway Code which explicitly places pedestrians above horses in the hierarchy of vulnerability stating that horse riders have responsibility to avoid dangers to pedestrians (and cyclists for that matter). That doesn’t give me free reign to be a dick around horses but so long as I am reasonable and courteous, it’s not on me to stop running on a public footpath because it scares her horses?

Not much of a question, just a rant, so have I missed something or made an error of interpretation? It wasn’t only me, I also heard her berating another woman running with a buggy who happened to be nearby.

Hedgerow birds on my walk today were fully convinced that today is the first day of spring.

My Dad wore Carhartt jacket in the 90s*. Definitely not a skater though.

{*} still going strong

That was great
