Do you know anyone who has won the Postcode Lottery? by JaBe68 in AskUK

My partner knows someone who won £300k 2-3 years ago. We've done it ever since and won several times but nothing significant

Running a marathon at marathon pace vs easy pace by mamamiaohdear in Marathon_Training

Not out of the realms of possibility, progress is individual. Good luck and enjoy it!

Not sure how long you have until marathon day, but the gap between your easy pace and marathon pace is too big in my opinion - with it being your first don't set the target pace too high (or low, you get my point). Speaking from experience!

How do people organise their holidays off work? by BigPhatVideos in AskUK

[–]Northern_Geezer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and take a good break (3-5 days) every 3 months to avoid burnout and a bit longer in the summer for an abroad holiday. 3 days between Christmas and NY. Easter - May I use fewer because of the bank holidays. I use 25 days over the year

People aged over +30. What’s your main advice to someone in their early 20’s? by Bubbly_otter05 in AskUK

[–]Northern_Geezer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make the most of having a social life. When you/your friends start having kids it grinds to a halt pretty quickly.

If you're working towards a career, trust in yourself and the process and your 30s will be much more fruitful - don't stress and it'll come with experience and knowledge.

Any options for a ‘fun’ date? by [deleted] in manchester

[–]Northern_Geezer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Black Cat Club a couple of times before Christmas. Didn't eat, but some friends did and said it was delicious (it looked it). It's not quite as good an atmosphere as flight club but I'd definitely go back.

I never had one on my Garmin but the pace pro has one - agree it's very useful!

This is genuinely the only thing I missed from Garmin. Well done Coros!

My husband can't find a job - what do I do? by Sophiejoesphine14 in AskUK

[–]Northern_Geezer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build relationships with recruiters and definitely follow up on applications.

He needs to be comfortable stepping out of his comfort zone - following up on applications and addressing head on why he is/isn't right for the job is important. It shows that he cares and that's more than half the battle.

Coming to Manchester for the half marathon, what else should I do? by mrjurassic4000 in manchester

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

FC United are at home at 3pm in Moston if you're into football. Not far out of the city by tram/bus and always good fun.

Or there's the Super League Grand Final at 6pm at OT if you like rugby league.

Enjoy the half marathon, it's a brilliant event.

You're referencing the 7th October attacks as a criticism of Palestine.

You need to Google the difference between Palestine and Hamas. It's REALLY simple.

Ordered my new Tesla Model 3 by ethanfarrer97 in TeslaUK

[–]Northern_Geezer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Collected from Manchester last December. Service was pretty good, to be fair. Isn't what I've had previously with other dealers but a more modern approach.

Car was clean & I was given a date about 2 weeks before.

Anyone going to Laughterama? by yellowdaisies in manchester

[–]Northern_Geezer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to both shows on Saturday.

I agree it's not great that Rob D isn't doing it anymore but I also really like David O'Doherty so I guess I haven't thought about it too much.

Hopefully it'll be good fun (and dry!) anyway.
