It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

Thread split! I feel a whole lot better!

Nor is action netball part of Noah's arc.

Very good. In fact, f*cking very good.

Today I am fist.

I am not fist.

Fird.

Did either of you manage to snap up the Da Vinci painting at the auction?

Alas no, Tino got there first.

Me neither. A bit annoyed as I didn't know there was one for sale but probably didn't matter in the end as the sale price was higher than I'd've been prepared to go.

They're talking about their shafts over on the golf board.  

You can't beat hickory for a putter.

I see the weightlifting board has ground to a halt. I think it was only CC members winding the Trussmans up that kept it going.

I've decided to do my first 10K run next May (for charidee, of course). Who should I ask for advice - Trussman, Toppy?

Corporalhumblebucket has an excellent parkrun thread in the off topic.

I wonder what I would have thought if I'd known 30 years ago, on a phone.

Oh, is the parkrun thread actually about running?

Huh?

The parkrun thread is the new Weightlifting thread.

If there is a shaft conversation going on, on the golf thread, may be worth a bit of Friday fun...

Don't listen to anyone on here for advice, Jules - they're all bullsh1tting.

Galted's attempts to write a song are definitely getting worse.

I'll try again:
I wonder what I would have thought if I'd known 30 years ago that I would one day write 'Corporalhumblebucket has an excellent parkrun thread in the off topic", on a phone.

Sorry.

That corporalhumblebucket would never have to discuss running, alone ♫

Morning notches

Very good.

Morning, Galts.

how are we this winters morn?

We are good thanks, working from home being watched by the cat.

How are things up north? Reached the requisite coldness for you all to start wearing long sleeves or is that still a few months off?

Good Morning

I reckon Julius should get advice from both Toppy and the corporal... and also ask him (the corporal) how long does it usually take to march to Surrey in fair weather.

Morning all. I see TLD is finally out of the dog house.

I can picture Julius doing the London Marathon with four of his grounds staff carrying him in a litter and another running alongside fanning him. Probably have a few hounds along to keep the commoners away.

The suburb I live in is called "a place where musk ducks gather" or something. I'll let you know if I see one. None so far.

Spoiler:

There's a creek running through the first bit of green at the bottom of photo... near the towers (where said musk ducks used to gather) which then flows into Homebush Bay/Parramatta River/Sydney Harbour.

Shorts and T-Shirt weather here, just some mild frost.

Swimming costume/half-dressed weather here. Hardly worth bothering putting anything on some days.

Proper Northern.

Man bites frost up here.

Men of the north don't feel the cold, the cold feels men of the north.

I eat heat for breakfast, followed by a big hot glass of fire.

I have cereal, preferably without raisins.

Raisins are the onion of the dried fruit world.

I would never have figured that, Galted. What about small diced dried apricots?

Nope. Either is acceptable as a snack on its own but ruin any food they're combined with to form a medley.

Do you go to the cereal café?

I do not. I buy mine from M&S, sometimes 3 different ones which I blend expertly.

I have considered,not very seriously, going to the cereal cafe for a bowl of Froot Loops though.

When I holiday in the USA I usually bring back a box or two of Froot Loops.

surely this should be a no brainer...

The BBC have done that deliberately. Well done them!

I think they must have...

I wonder how long before they're apologising because some fat gender-confused rugmunching c*nt of a student is offended.

Morning notches.

Morning rick.

Won't be long before we know if there was a Charles Manson amongst us. So far only you and I are a definite No.

Could be serialdave to be honest.

You OK mate?

I'm fine mate. Horrible result for us at Twickenham but life goes on.

How are things on your side of the globe?
