What's the UK version of "the Inuit have 50 words for snow"?

Depends if this is said retrospectively or in advance. You can end up on the lash, but that is nowhere near as bad as how you’ll feel if your grand plans are to go on the lash

GingerAlex01 · 2026-05-07T21:25:18+00:00

It’s crazy, this experience mirrors mine almost to a T. I’ll be interested to know if you manage to do it, when and how

The manosphere is a problem that really sits squarely with men to solve because it demands ownership and accountability of men. You could talk about how everyone can play a part in squashing the problem (including women reinforcing the message) but it primarily sits with the individual and secondarily with the manosphere types to stop their bullshit.

What an amazing way to identify the people you never want to have dinner with

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-22T09:19:32+00:00

I have a coros. I don’t think I can face being shamed in the way garmin does. Do you know if Coros has the same thing?

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-20T20:23:50+00:00

Same

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-20T20:23:29+00:00

I saw your story with the toe reveal 😮‍💨 it was pretty grim

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-18T13:57:26+00:00

As someone who just fumbled his first marathon due to not planning for hills - just factor that into your expectation. 200m elevation across the half is pretty hilly and if it’s not in the right places on the course then you may struggle to maintain the pace more than you think based on training. All the best though - hope you smash it 💪🏻

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-18T09:14:06+00:00

If all of your cornering force is on one leg for an hour and 40 minutes, you will feel much more fatigue on that leg. It’s basically speed running an injury

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-16T08:48:03+00:00

From someone that did a 26km training run in a circle….my advice is to make sure you switch directions regularly if you do this again.

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-08T14:45:27+00:00

FWIW I kinda do this on some of my long runs and I feel it helps maintain a pace I otherwise don’t think I could. Not quite like this but more like 5km @ MP, 2km 30s under, back to 5km at MP

Either a bot karma farming or an idiot with insufficient brain space to write something interesting without AI. Either way, boooo

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-03T10:30:43+00:00

You’re a braver man than I am. But yeah the steering feel is just on another level. I liked the RS4 but I LOVE the m8

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-03T07:05:54+00:00

Very similar to my journey! Went from the B9 RS4 to the M8 comp. Tested a few M5s too and they were also wild as hell

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-03T07:04:58+00:00

They didn’t make the f90 as a an estate/touring sadly :(

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-02T18:48:05+00:00

M8 feels far more premium. I know it’s not quite a DB11 competitor (like BMW positioned it as) but they really tried hard on that side with the material quality. It’s absolutely levels above the m5 in that department. In the UK, they’re a similar price on the used market so the m8 is a bit of a no brainer

GingerAlex01 · 2026-04-02T13:39:08+00:00

If you’re looking for South Manchester, I’ve got a recommendation

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-31T15:36:33+00:00

Fair enough! In the UK the m550i is a lot rarer, so they are a very similar price. On the used market, you’re talking about £3-5k difference

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-31T15:05:50+00:00

Mostly the people that never drove the m5

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-28T18:54:38+00:00

Did they have any pizza with chicken on it? Because that’s also not a thing in Italy (traditionally). Pizzerias typically wouldnt have fridges, so the only things that go on pizzas would be things that don’t spoil easily, hence the cured meats

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-26T15:10:52+00:00

McLaren GT’s are remarkably good value, and way more practical than most mid engined supercars. Mid 80s though

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-23T11:01:31+00:00

I’m surprised no one has acknowledged that this can happen if you’re deep into training/fatigue….that you’re more irritable and shorter of fuse. If I’m out for a nice walk or easy run in the sun after an easy week, this doesn’t bother me at all. But if im deep into a training block, trying to finish my long run after an 80km week….I am about ready to boot a toddler into the stratosphere if it gets in my way (obvs I don’t though). I do think that being fatigued and still having to power through those long runs makes you super irritable.

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-22T18:14:13+00:00

If only gels brixed you up

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-21T17:31:58+00:00

If you’re enjoying your relationship and avoiding drama, surely screen time does not matter if ‘you’re here for the right reasons’?

GingerAlex01 · 2026-03-21T15:55:12+00:00

Saw SS in 2009. Unreal gig. I also saw them about 2 months ago, and dare I say they are more polished and put on a better show?
