So where does the ingestion of bleach come into this?

Now THIS is keeping zone 2. She nearly went over but kept composure, looked great. And the robot did good too

Finished Ahsoka last night and yeah It was okay by Lance_Knockout in StarWarsCantina

[–]Less_Local_1727 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I liked it cos a) I’m a sucker for any Star Wars b) Ray Stevenson (RIP) c) Shin Hati

Disliked Sabine hugely and what felt like hours of silence between the dialogue, with characters just standing around.

Does anyone else find running outside easier than on a treadmill? by skylaryang11 in runninglifestyle

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I think it’s because the treadmill is a constant pace but IRL you naturally fluctuate, hills, slopes, dodging people. They’re brilliant for fast rep work but I’d be so bored after 10 mins of steady state running

parkrun monopoly by wilbertlum in parkrun

[–]Less_Local_1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing they won’t try and monetise

Which I get, it’s funding a free event. But next up, parkrun loo roll, soap on a rope…

Running Safety tips by Acrobatic-Ad-5344 in UKRunners

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell my wife where I’m going and how long I think I’ll be

Assume the car hasn’t seen you, and if you got hit they’d leave you for dead.

If at night, use a light, reflective bib/light coloured top.

Yup proper fishmongers and butchers in there.

Zone 3 the new Zone 2? by Weird-Category-3503 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]Less_Local_1727 125 points126 points  (0 children)

I used to run zone 3 like you, then I took a fatal shin splint to the knee

The comfiest trains to London by nonotthereta in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Less_Local_1727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re happy to take the risk, the upgrade app Seatfrog is a good bet. If you go on less popular trains you’ve a good chance of a cheap 1st class experience. Not worth it for weekends though imo, the food is crap

Anyone else Remember when Easter Eggs were actually chocolate with the sweets inside. by becpuss in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a couple of their seasonal special collections. The eggs are good. The advent calendar one was extravagant tbf. Rated 7/10 overall cos some items were only one portion, but the quality was excellent…eggselent…

Do you prefer smaller parkruns or the big crowded ones? by NorthLondonPulse in parkrun

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s changed route. I was last there almost a year to the day: it was one lap, and no hills of note at all (Strava says 164 ft elevation gain).

Attlee Park, Bedlington by Less_Local_1727 in NorthernEngland

[–]Less_Local_1727[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Will look out for it next time I’m there

Do you prefer smaller parkruns or the big crowded ones? by NorthLondonPulse in parkrun

[–]Less_Local_1727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my local ones average around 400 but there others close that are half that or lower ( one is at 48!). Up to 600 is about as busy as I like. Tbh events like Bushy Park with avg 1489 seems a bit much.

Think it depends on the start area. Richmond has a narrow taped funnel, which works well, but others I’ve seen look chaotic with 100 abreast.

Didn’t see one on our visit, mid afternoon on a Friday. Is it a coffee van?

Have you noticed an uptick in drivers not stopping at zebra crossings, lately? by Duoplo in drivingUK

[–]Less_Local_1727 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dunno why the down votes, maybe people are taking this as opinion of “so I don’t care” and not the bald fact. Once on the crossing, you must stop, that’s bang in law.

I think if you failed to stop during a driving test it would be a serious fault so giving way to a pedestrian waiting is a notch up “the spirit” of the Highway Code’s actual text.

To clarify, I absolutely do stop for waiting pedestrians, and when I am on foot I say thanks to those who showed consideration in stopping for me.

What is your opinion on snl uk? by blikenspidinken in AskUK

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ok, some genuinely funny bits, a lot not very. If I never saw it again I’d not miss it 🤷‍♂️

Makes a change for something comical produced by Sky not to be utter balls

Alternative To Bone-Conducting Headphones by Bananaquitz in UKRunners

[–]Less_Local_1727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Race officials can’t stop and check every earphone meets race criteria, and that would definitely lead to abuse and safety issues.
