  1. Just signed up for my third Beachy Head Marathon. Highly recommend. One of the most popular trail marathons in the country. And sausage rolls at one of the checkpoints. Less than 250 places left. Get in there people. It’s a stunning route.
  2. Fuck, that’s rapid! Bloody well done!
  3. Agree. I listen to them in the car on the war to work sometimes. Nearly always sci-fi (for some reason). The Star Wars ones are particularly good. Recommend Darth Plagueis* by James Luceno. Excellent. And the audiobook is read brilliantly by Daniel Davis. *Really it's mostly about Palpatine / Sidious
  4. How you finding it so far? I've got a thing for LONNNNNNNNG books - i actively seek out some books purely because of their length. Seems i'm a bit of a literature size queen. I liked 1Q84. And it got me into Murakami. Although when i took up running i read What I talk About When I Talk About Running. Enjoyed most of his books, but over time it's apparently he writes women not...ideally...and has an apparent fascination with going on about breasts. And cats.
  5. Just finished Tim Marshall's The Power of Geography. Decent follow on to his excellent Prisoners of Geography. ...for anyone out there who's interested in how geography has shaped modern nation states and their historical / political outlook. Easy to read, and he's pretty funny on occasions too.
  6. 'To be born, or at any rate bred, in Bracknell, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life that reminds one of the worst excesses of the French Revolution.’
  7. Took a spill trail running on Friday. Tripped over a tree root and went down hard and fast and landed full and square on my ribs. Could barely breathe for a couple of minutes. Nice chap out hiking offered to help but i hobbled home. Just as the Fuckd Knee heals I've mullered my ribs. Could barely get out of bed this morning. Less than 4 weeks until Salisbury Plain Marathon. It's gonna be a shitshow of epically slow proportions.
  8. A little aside: I found out, many years ago, that Carolyn Cassidy ended up living (and ended her days) in Bracknell, Berkshire (of all places). I managed to write to her - via her son IIRC, who's a musician - and she emailed back a few times. She was very no nonsense but funny. She sent me a signed copy of her book, Off the Road.
  9. Nah, he'd be no company at all. He'd be shambling after you - as he's always done - whilst you danced round the festival like a dingledodie, mad to live, mad to love, mad to miss out on the Secret Set at the Park, desirous of everything on Clashfinder, desirous of every act, on every stage at the same time, as you burn, burn, burn like a fabulous yellow roman candle exploding above the Pyramid Stage like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centrelight and everybody goes "oh, not fucking Chris Martin again"
  10. Andy Bell from Erasure = Andy 'Ding Dong' Bell (source: Smash Hits, 1980s)
  11. (shhhh, still got the last episode to go...!)
  12. Fuck. That rumour. I never gave it any serious thought. Huh.
  13. What's the Spiderman theory? (Sorry if i've missed it earlier in this thread)
  14. They were repulsed by a plague of utter tools with no tickets who’ve had a bag of ten stellas since 11am and are currently, willingly sticking flares up their own arseholes. I expect.
  15. Ahhhh, the nostalgia of 'does your mum know who Stormzy is?' dayz...
  16. No sympathy from me, Joey*! Purely on the basis that i dream of only having 53 emails to action. Bliss. (get well soon!)
  17. She subbed the The Park in 2014, so i reckon mid-afternoon Pyramid is a good bet.
  18. Correct. There's a whole world champs with quite significant money of you win an entire series. I only really found out about it from listening to the Bad Boy Running Podcast.

    As a kid i always wondered what Dusty's real nose looked like.
  20. Oh amazing! Do you have a 'goal' for it? Mine is usually: Just. F**king. Finish!
  21. What are you training for Nikkic?
  22. I think she addressed that.
