Brilliant stuff from the Gaffer and GB. As soon as I saw the weather this morning I thought and felt for you guys doing the Moyleman. Just puts into perspective that my usual Sunday morning running partner was injured so I took the opportunity to go a bit later just so I could see off the worst...

Thought they were both good. The lead singer with the Pistols did sound reasonably like Lydon and the guitar sound was about right so it made for a pretty decent recreation.

Just popped down to the bottom of my road to give him a cheer, then caught him again at the top (he was going round the long way!) Top man for what he’s doing, both physically and fundraising.

Gave the lawn a going over with the scarifier this morning, hope the weather stays compliant over the next few weeks. I have the seed to put down but figured I’d wait until Tuesday as the forecast is dry til then but wet on Wednesday. Before and after pictures here (slightly restricted as we had...

I have a question for Gardener’s Question Time please. Mrs A has suggested we scarify the lawn this weekend. I have a machine for it so it’s no big deal to do it but am wondering if we’ve left it a tad too late in the year now? Any thoughts? I am Brighton based.

After an injury hit 2022, have been gradually building back this year and finally got back above the 70% age grade at Preston Park a few weeks back - 23.04 for 71.39% for inclusion on the table please, best get it on there before the January reset!!

Great news for you, but I’m pretty staggered that they’d leave it in there for over a year as the ‘preferred option’ The preferred option is surely asap, what a sad state the NHS is in (I can hear myself stating the bleeding obvious) if hobbling around with a needle stuck in your foot has a...

I see your point Harry as it reads, but in my mind where the song goes Shrarrif he don’t like I - it, Rock the Casbah, Rock the Casbah, I’m hearing Defenders they don’t like hee - im Tariq Lamptey, Tariq Lamptey The song is sung in the manner of a football chant and lends itself to this...

Yes, I second those best wishes. Hope you both see off your respective issues and are back fit and healthy asap.

PB on your 270th parkrun in the Old Git category above mine? Just wow! Truly inspirational GNT. Take a bow son!

What a relief! I’ve been reading this thread for years feeling like a proper slow Old Git and it turns out I’m benchmarking myself against England Internationals!

I made a claim against Betfair many years ago and IBAS upheld it and made them pay out. I think they are properly neutral and if you can demonstrate Bet365 are factually in the wrong you should get paid.

I’m sure I heard Big Nuts team singing ‘Is that all you take away’ at me. Impressive running again from the NSC team, there was plenty of sweat on show. This event seems really popular with runners as much as a social event as anything else really. It’s quite a who’s who of local runners and...

Sorry Gaffer, am running with my normal club team again this year. You wouldn’t want me in your team anyway, for the first time I will be the weakest link in my team this year! After not being able to run because of my knee injury, then having the op in January and not able to break into a jog...

Gatwick to Newcastle in 1979 for the promotion game. I seem to remember it costing £59 and included the match ticket which was in the seats opposite the dugouts!
