I’ve lost 20kg since March by eating less and moving around more, yet everyone automatically assumes I’m using the weight loss drugs. Fuck this quick-fix society, appreciate the effort.

‘Pluribus’ on Apple TV is mad and fucked up and I love it already. #Pluribus

Fuck ‘em, we’ll be drinking in their tears this time tomorrow.

I'm starting to think the Daleks had a point.

Sounds great. I do my local parkrun, folk there have been really supportive as I’ve moved up the ranks.

You’ll smash it, I finished it a couple of months back. Trust the process, it really does work, and don’t be afraid to repeat runs. Don’t worry if you don’t hit 5k in the 30 minutes, I still take 38 to do that distance.

Hello there! As an elite runner, I have decided to take part in Cancer Research UK’s ‘10 5k’s in October’ challenge. Please give, if you can, to this worthwhile cause; and laugh along as I destroy what’s left of my knees before Halloween. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/robs-gi...

On the same day in the Telegraph:

You *need* to stay to the end

Oh you missed the episode where Edward beats his mother to death with his own crown then? (Not joking).

You wouldn’t think it were possible to distill the battle of Stamford Bridge down to less than five minutes, and STILL get it wrong. But, here we are. #kingandconqueror

Thanks, sounds like it’s still one for the pile!

Does it go on to look at Olive etc?
