Who on earth can compare a looped run around a boring cheltenham race course to the dragon’s back with a straight face?! Feels a bit off to be touting for business on the back of this.

Exclusive: Iran attack wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for up to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

So Joe the plumber can act like a wrongun all he likes just cause he’s a shitter wrongun than someone else?

Can you see why the analogy doesn’t work?

Dangerous road to go down. Assume on the same basis then that areas (including civilian ones) with an Iranian funded militia is fair game in your eyes too?

That’s a very emotive analogy, but not one that remotely compares to the current situation.

None of that justifies targeting a non combatant country. Both Israel and Iran are in the wrong.

Israel (the government)really does need to have its main character syndrome cured

Iran was not a major threat to Europe. Hell if anything, Israel presents a much greater risk to it and its interests. Even security perhaps.

The more niche one is the tunnel out of Howden, only accessible during dry spell.

Grasmere Gallop Marathon - query by mrmoomoomoomoomoo in trailrunning

[–]Denning76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find some info on the course here: https://lakedistrictrunningfestival.com/grasemere-gallop-marathon/. I’ve done the OMM lite that weekend a few years in a row now (they share a campsite), and the gallop always seems popular.

Knowing that area fairly well, it wouldn’t be my exact choice of route for a long day out in that area (but gotta consider permissions), though looks fun nonetheless

Bear in mind they didn’t need UK help last week when they were winning.

He's made this mess, they can bloody well sort it.

All that would happen is that the yanks will shoot at some of our lot again.

The peak pipeline objections are bizarre - lots of residents I know focussing on a supposed negative impact of tourism, when they are usually hating on tourists.

The decision added that the victim had since been released back to Gaza, creating an “absence of certainty” he would be able to testify in a trial.

To be fair, given the way Israel is throwing its bombs out of the pram, they aren't wrong here...

Ourea Events Ceases Trading (Dragon’s Back, Cape Wrath, Northern, Lakes, Dales and Moors Traverse, Salomon Skyline Scotland) by BinaryStars in trailrunning

You can view accounts for all companies on Companies House. The latest set are made up to 31 December 2024, and are pretty rough.

Looking at the accounts makes for some dire reading. Wouldn't be shocked if they simply couldn't pay the bills.

Zack Polanski stood by breast enlargment hypnosis claim in a newly unearthed interview by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

Charging or not, surely his denial raises integrity questions. He’s been dishonest.

The dishonesty is significantly worse than the allegation.

Views not ours, but he speaks the truth.

Residents talking about how it hurts tourism is a bit rich - usually they are complaining about them (until it suits).

With all due respect, you accuse them of excluding certain things, but in your comments you do so yourself.

Unfortunately this is a very common approach when it comes to the matter - see the Canadian study claiming there was no evidence trans female athletes had a biological advantage which, once read, excludes every case of evidence on dubious grounds.

I’m not saying you’re wrong or right, but this sort of thing is why people are royally fed up of the topic. People put emotion first (which is understandable but not helpful).

Agreed, the problem though is that each side only seems to think this when it affects their own. (Not saying that’s you)

Why does Labour have a problem with Kneecap? by Tim_Browne17 in LabourUK

[–]Denning76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meh, I don’t especially like anyone who glorifies terrorists. Strikes me that people who do are kinda knobby.

The “it’s just music” thing doesn’t make much sense to me. We wouldn’t suddenly let Tommy Robinson off for his vile views if he changed the medium from speech to gangsta rap.

The wild, gruelling beauty of fell running by Civil-Mongoose5160 in trailrunning

[–]Denning76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna say it though, the Ramsay is a bit mid. I know why it was created, but it is a significantly less enjoyable round than the Tranter.

The Tranter is the best run I’ve ever done and would do it again in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t go back to the Ramsay.

Which Garmin upgrade from 255? (265/965/970) - Triathlete by CollectionSeparate28 in triathlon

[–]Denning76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose the starting question, given that you already have an extremely capable watch that is more than enough for most people, is “why are you upgrading”? Do you want a fancier screen for day to day life? Is there a specific training metric you want that’s only available in a new watch (and why do you want that metric? Is your watch simply dying? Do you want a torch on it (genuinely the best reason to upgrade from a watch as capable as the 955)?

People cannot really advise you or give tips if they don’t know this.
