@ACRe19 do you still have the bulk load of wheels? I need a 700c single speed wheel for a beater bike. Anything that fits the bill? I have a car so I can take them all away and drop them off at a cycle project (assuming i can find someone who wants them).

Is that a direct quote from someone on here?

Ms LCD Birthday Party 2019?

In for beer and heckling the Bens.

Conte to RM and Zidane to ManU, shirley?

It’s the arms race, stupid. As long as there are fears of someone else developing an arsenal you can justify ever-increasing defence spending of your own.

I’m working with Akira Hypolite, which I think is a pretty cool name, but I have to resist the urge to scream ‘AAAAAAKKKKIIIIIIIIIRRAAAAA!!!!!!’ every time I ask her something. I’m sure she’s heard it all before, even though she’s probably younger than the film.

Aren't those barriers for the ticketed football screening tonight? (and the music fest?)

So much schadenfreude right now.

Why was Ronaldo not red-carded? Clearly elbows the player off the ball.

Watching the final in the ‘sports’ bar in an all inclusive family resort in Lanzarote. Hilarious mix of scousers, already baked pink from the sun and well drunk, with the Spanish staff quietly grinning away.

From a neutral’s point of view, I hope Liverpool are able to play the way they’ve done all season. It has been pretty joyful to watch them when at their best.

Nice one @dubkev! It was bloody hot after the first 5 miles. According to my phone I did a 1:52. I got my splits slightly wrong and can’t remember crossing the finish line. I had to have a little lie down immediately after. On a stretcher. In the medical tent.

I might write ‘LFGSS’ as my name on my race number!

I think this is the first time they’ve allocated pens. It should be easy enough to squeeze in to the next one. Worst case, get to the front of your pen and you’ll catch up easy enough.

Lots of good advice in that link Kev. I’m always getting over-excited and going off too quick.

Scousers Carl and Steve's long weekend in Faro?

I have two tickets for All Points East festival on Sunday 27 May: Bjork, Beck, Father John Misty, Django Django, etc. £65 each. PM me if interested. Full line up: https://www.allpointseastfestival.com/festival/sunday

I'm aiming for around the same time Kev. I'll try to stay close to the 1:50 pacer as long as I can. If you see me, don't expect conversation - i'll be pushing it just to hit this pace! And if it's hot weather I'll be lucky to stay below 2:00. I am really not made for running in heat.

Thanks both. I run a completely flat route at the moment so it might be time to find a wee hill nearby for the training.

How fast is the course? Did you meet your target time okay? I'm trying to decide how ambitious to be with my training for this one. With so many different distances running on that 1 mile loop I worry it'll be packed - were the other races overlapping?

Has anyone done any of the runthrough velopark runs, on the cycling road circuit of the Olympic park?

I'm about half way through Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey and wanted to post here to recommend it. I first read a version when I was a teenager and enjoyed it despite struggling with the language. Revisiting it through Wilson's version has been amazing. It's worth it for the brilliantly insightful introduction alone, which includes an argument for using the most straight forward current language , rather than an olde worlde English that bears no relation to the original Greek. It's so bloody readable. She also gives some interesting female perspective on this most masculine of epic tales. If you only ever read one version of it, this should be it.

Face-swapping news reporter videos. Not exactly memes, but sort of.

Would rep for bike polo reference.
