"The Prime Minister..."

Was I the only one imagining the possibility of seeing my first live resignation speech?

Ah well. :(

Is that the web a spider makes when you feed it LSD?

Is there a MAMIL thread featuring Reflections of Elephants?

Good work, impressive from A,B and C teams. How's the hip?
I'm just beginning to contemplate racing again, although the National relays are the week before Brighton so I didn't consider it would be a great idea for my foot, and have now committed to dog-sitting! All being well I'd like to turn out for Assembly League in a couple of weeks.

55 miles for the week so far, all in my new shoes which I'm liking a lot. Hugely encouraging run today, minimum target was completing 20 miles without feeling too awful. As it turns out I was running for most of it with a club mate who's in good form and pushing the pace faster than I'd planned, but my legs weren't complaining so I went with it. 20 miles @ sub-3 pace, actually not feeling too broken right now!

Wow! Presumably if he'd renounced organised religion entirely and become a secular atheist, the home office would've refused asylum on the basis of his lack of moral compass?

Will take a look, ta!

Ah thanks, looks nice but I reckon I'm set on a cutaway, will make a nice companion piece to my Sigma 6-string. (That's a reminder, Over the Hills and Far Away on the practise list.)

I'm thinking of getting me a nice 12-string acoustic for general sofa playing (/beautiful wall ornament.) Any reason to look beyond a Takamine GJ72CE-12? Gets good reviews, I think it looks fantastic and the all-important cutaway to access the 17th fret (Genesis, "Cinema Show" intro!)

Or handing out cups of water at the Maidenhead 10. Seriously, she's a very competent race marshal.

I quite like the 2am kebab shop analogy but this one's slightly more nuanced. Good stuff.

4 + 10 mile runs in, and I'm very much liking my Adidas Solar Drive Boost. Shit name for a shoe but very comfy, and getting back to the feel of the Glide Boost what they don't make any more. Boost + full length EVA midsole make for a firm-ish but responsive ride. And half the price of replacing my Brooks Ghost.

Um, would that be the "upload a file" bit I've just spotted? D'oh!

I've just spotted the Charles & Di biscuit tins (?) I might pop back and get the bike and see if they'll throw them in as well.

Oh bollocks. So has anyone got any recommendations for free photo hosting now that flickr is charging? :)

How's this?

...Correct thread... spotted in charity shop in Blackheath (Royal Standard), £30.

...

Ta!

Wasn't sure where to put this. Anyone fancy using this for anything? Spotted in a charity shop in Blackheath for £30.

I've just got involved in a pacers' whatsapp group, so we can keep in touch with plans. So far all I've seen is in-depth discussion about whether the balloons should be on shorter lengths of string, because so many were lost to tree branches last year. It's literally ALL about the balloons!

More pacing practise in the wind this morning, sort of. 9.7 miles w/ 6 miles alternating target pace 6:50/6:20 each mile, ended up with 6.39, 6.14, 6.42, 6.19, 6.44, 6.19 feeling reasonably comfortable.
