One Team In Keynsham

Really good times mate! I've never done a 10k but reckon I'd struggle to go sub 40. My PB half was 1:31 and always wanted to go sub 1:30.

Good for you keeping it up. 

That's a lot of marathons! You must enjoy it. 

Any marathons particularly stand out?

For crowd support, London. For a brilliant race location, NYC. For a destination trip and the fellow runners, Antarctica. 

Not been able to do one for a bit, but have run 18 marathons in the past decade, including one on each continent and all 6 majors. Not terribly quick: PBs 1h47 for the half and 3h55 for the full.

Hoping to get back to it in the new year.

I watched Eliud's run this morning: phenomenal stuff, notwithstanding the way it was executed.

Best 10k was 34 minutes, half marathon 1.24 I no longer take part in races due to age meaning I was far off my best and I had little motivation to run as slowly as I was, and was becoming . Still run several times a week but just to maintain a level fitness. 

Great times for both.

Hopefully, and in the nicest possible way, your money will have been wasted due to Somerset having won by an innings in three days . 

Hopefully 3 days of rain, followed by glorious sunshine and a draw...

See you there !

I'll be carrying a copy of The Guardian and wearing a red carnation.

Remember the secret code phrase.

Probably have now jinxed the entire season, but just bought tickets for day 4 v Essex.

Didn't Man Utd under 23s play at Gigg Lane?

Not sure about them, but FC United did until they opened their own ground.

I notice on their website that Bury offer half price, £10 instead of £20 tickets to all matches, to all serving military personnel , and all past served military, as well as all serving police, ambulance and fire service personnel. While a very worthy gesture, that must have cost them a packet every season.

Military personnel must have looked at that offer of cheap-priced, poor quality, League 2 football and made the gates-opening on a match-day at Gigg Lane look like the Normandy landings (without the machine gun nests, one hopes)

would have liked to have seen the Dead Kennedys - one of my best gigs was the Cramps (bit after punk really) 1980 at Trinity Hall - about a year after they supported the Police at the Locarno

I was a late band-wagon jumper: saw The Cramps at The Studio in, I think, 1985. One of the scariest looking crowds I ever saw at a gig.

Whitchurch. Either Rush-Back (anyone could be the goalie) or Drop-Back (the goalie could play wherever they wanted but was the goalie nonetheless) 

Well. That's how I remember it anyway! Don't forget good old next goal wins too mind! 

Somewhat late to this debate, but on the hallowed turf of the Manor Road playing fields, I recall using the same Rush-Back and Drop-Back terms.

Sad but inevitable. The end of a great franchise.

James Bond as a man retires, but the 007 mantle, and presumably the future of the franchise is being taken over by Lashana Lynch.

It's not like James Bond is as good as Paolo Maldini. Given he retired, only fair his squad number got passed on.

Anyone else not received World Cup tickets??

I have not received any.

Then again, I didn't apply for any, so not hopeful.

Announce cider

Were you there for Hampshire yesterday? Based on that view, you must have been sat within 20 yards of me.

At least, after stumbling earlier this season, we are finally getting to grips with Ashton's plan of not targeting promotion this season.

One thing I’ve been thinking all night: are teletext holidays really still a thing?

I've been sat on 35/45, waiting for that 7 days in Torremolinos to come back up.

From SU forum: the sky pundits and their insincere fickle nonsense at the end "this Bristol City side won't go away". Oh piss off! We've battered them. They've created sod all until we had a man sent off. We've outplayed them, then hit the woodwork 4 times. 

Smarmy ******* Lee Johnson Bristol City bastards with sky pundits rimming them. Not Browny and Andrews in the studio. Those insincere commentators. We were the much better side. They've not done owt to deserve to win this. Their substitutions were shite, Djuric is dire, Reid offered nothing and they can all **** off. 

 

He has a point, to be fair.

They really don't want to give us any credit, do they?

The pundits on Sky? Was just having the same thought.

Have you tried turning it off and then turning it back on again?

The correct plural of addendum is, in fact, addenda, although, as addendum is recognised as an English word, addendums can also be used.

Anybody on here remember back in school having to decline the latin word for war, bellum?

Bellum, bellum, bellum, belli, bello, bello.

Bella, bella, bella, bellorum, bellis, bellis.

It still makes me chuckle.

And to think, we used to have to decline mensa (table) as well - Oh Table! (in the vocative form) anybody?

 

 

reading this just got "eram eras erat eramus eratis erant" stuck in my head

And happy days reading "Caecilius ist pater", "Cerebus ist canis" etc. 

To borrow @BigTone's short version:

Cardiff? **** "em.

What an absolute shitshow that game was! They looked absolutely world class that day, turns out we were just ******* awful!

The friend who sent me that noted at the time that the bookies had a City win at 500/1 and wondered if I thought it worth a flutter. I replied that I was waiting until the 5th went in and the odds went to 4 figures...

Facebook kindly reminded me of this post from a friend 2 years ago today:
