I am in awe of what you are attempting. I used to run a little - but never went more than 10K.

Was not planning on going - certainly would not go now. How have we reach this point where the IOC is able to overrule the wishes of the government of the host country.

This is not an apology. It does not matter how much he praises our armed forces today. His previous comments are unforgivable, the hurt he has caused cannot just be smoothed over by a posting on Social Media.

The booking system is horrendous - if it is difficult for existing donors it must be nearly impossible for new entrants. The old system (booking next appointment at your donation session) did not need fixing!

What an excellent and lovely thing to do. We all take charging for granted until we cannot do it.

This. All of this.

Make people healthy. It's not supposed to be about money.

Absolutely with you on this one Brian. Parents saw it as an easy option on a night they did not feel like cooking but we felt it was an absolute treat. Chow Mein was definitely the star of the Vests range.

To all the women out there. How do you deal with new male follows who exclusively follow women? Secondly to the men out there does the same happen to you? Do you see a percentage of your female followers who only follow men?

On the same day, The Observer reported that ministers had decided they didnโ€™t want to face the accusation from Farage that the โ€œestablishmentโ€ was trying to rig things against him. All of these arguments are classic examples of Labour bedwetting.
Do we think for a moment, that if an equivalent foreign backer, say Bill Gates, was proposing a game-changing donation to Labour, that the Conservatives or Reform would not change the rules at pace? This is how populists win. They donโ€™t observe norms and rules, while established players do, indeed they fret about them. Moreover, Farage will always claim that the establishment is trying to rig things against him โ€“ heโ€™s made a career out of it.

This, from Lewis Goodall, is bang on the mark.

Exactly - my voting record would be very different if we had PR.

Always suspicious if they only follow women, especially if the follow thousands and only have a limited number of followers.

100% correct - sadly they control main stream media and this is why most people do not understand this.

Download Spotted by locals app - you have to pay a small fee for a city guide of places recommended by locals. We have used them in several European cities and been to many venues where we the only non local. Useful maps included.

Absolutely correct, it is a totally avoidable for what most of us would recognise as a family farm. It is clearly aimed at investors, who have made no secret of their motivation for this type of investment.

Really good to see you on Bluesky - somethings on Twitter I miss, not many, but your account is one of them.

First post - left Twitter, tried Threads, hoping that Bluesky is the social media platform that I am looking for.
