Good luck on the run! Can't wait to hear the victory speech.. :)

Sleep on it and give us an answer in the morning :)

Good luck on the run !! Try get some selfies on the way :)

I'll send you a recipe. It's just a matter of chopping apples (don't even have to peel them), grating rind of and squeezing some lemons and oranges, shoving them in a large bowl with the dried fruits, sugar, spices and nuts .. leaving it over night, then the next day putting it all in an ovensafe bowl and shoving it, covered, in the oven for about 3 hours at a low temp. Cooling a bit, stirring and shoving in jars. Keeps indefinitely. But requires no baking skills at all ;) If you can open packets, grate and squeeze the citrus, handle a small knife, stir, and carry to and from an oven you're in clover ;)

Too late ;)

Cheers, I'll make sure the vas is applied correctly.

Ta. I fear it'll only be heard by the bathroom mirror.


Thanks. Do you really think I'd have a mobile device with an image capturing facility?!

I thought you were sending the recipe?;)

You mean your not running with a selfie pole? What's wrong with you!

Phew!!!
My hamstring has suddenly been cramping up constantly over the last day or so. I've worried it may knock my participation on Saturday. My work colleague (who's also running) is much amused and says it's just a wimp-out.
So, an hour ago I set off on a light, loosener believing it'd ease the spasm. Got 50 yards down my road and had to pull-up. Not happy one jot.
Emergency action required.
On the off chance, I've sped up to a nearby sports clinic. Luckily, it was a walk-in surgery. I've explained my predicament.
He asked only two questions, "Do you run on pavements and are you right handed" to both of which I replied "Yes".
Before you could say Sebastian Newbold Coe he had me straddling his couch.
Two hefty yanks of my back later I was on my way.
He explained how he'd released the elastic band!
What a guy. Said he was a runner also and didn't charge me.
First time ever I've used one of these places. So glad I did.
Will need to buy him a bottle of wine after the race.

Also until the race keep your salt levels high, it's proven lack of salt can do this, you will burn it all away anyway ,
Also keep the hamstring warm, hot water bottles on it as much as you can along with performing hamstring development stretches

thought I'd go for a gentle one ( sport's chap said give it half hour, I played safe with five hours) but ping!
got a few yards further than earlier but aborted as a precaution.
mrs chairboys emptying the salt pot down my throat as we speak. Too much? :lol:

this is turning into my biggest 'sporting' disaster ever!! :(

:eyebrows:
A 'sports clinic' for 'two hefty yanks'??
Sounds rather suspicious to me Mr Chairboys.
I wish you all the best sir. Can I sponsor you? In your current predicament may I suggest £5.00 if you make it to the end of the road?

Breaking news coming through that around 76% of Scottish voters are currently in the pub deliberating on what to do next.
Vote?
Happy hour extended until 22.00?

Did you call people troops before you joined the navy?
You've changed Seb.

This isn't a trap is it Jules?
I have visions of it meaning something else.

Navy?

Stand by, Guy. Stand the ~~~~ by.

Big long sausage ?

Ummmmmmm if it doesn't hurt then it was the right amount :)

D. O. H!!
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN BIGGLES.
LOL

happy friday people!!!!!!!! keep on rocking!!!!

Today is talk like a pirate day. If you go into Krispy Kreme and talk like a pirate, you will receive 1 free glazed donut. If you go in dressed like a pirate you will get a dozen. If you go in and act like one, then you get as many as you want, just not legally.

Considering the fact that pirate speak is not all that different from the Westcountry accent, I don't think I'd find it all that difficult to talk like a pirate. ;)

Afternoon nap

Nice all you can eat buffet today at Peach Keens today. Ate a bit too much.

Also saw Guardians of the Galaxy at last.

I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles tonight.

I saw it back when I was a kid, all of 2 or 3 years old. My family and friends of took up a whole row ha ha. Fat Cat (character from a kids show here) was there because it was a special charity premiere screening.... and I ran riot ha ha. I could run freely from one end of the row to the other because we had the whole thing. Wish I could remember it! 23 adults taking one kid to see a movie. Priceless.

Anyway, I wasn't disappointed with this movie, I thought it was fun.
