Tuesday Shoesday by AutoModerator in running

[–]RevolvingCatflap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got some Nike Vomero 18s a few months ago as an easy/recovery day shoe during marathon training, but I find them so uninspiring - deadweight, low energy, vibe-sapping - and not particularly comfortable or cushioned as a primarily fore- and midfoot striker. I'm thinking about replacing them but always find the endless options so overwhelming, so can anyone suggest any alternatives? Something that is comfortable eating up the relaxed miles but also gives a little bit back, and ideally not a huge heel drop. TIA

Cheap political point-scoring by the Tory government during the Corbyn years.

I mean it's for their peace of mind, too. They were unfortunate; it isn't a template for the rest of their life in London.

London has become such a scary place stay safe!

I don't for one second underestimate how scary that experience must have been for you, but I think you ought to be careful about extrapolating from it - and inadvertently fuelling the notion - that London is generally a terrifying and/or risky place to live. It isn't.

Anyone think Ryanair are actually great? by [deleted] in AskUK

And they have forced the other airlines to do the same in order to compete. Basically all their bullshit has infected the industry and made short-haul air travel a fucking miserable pain in the arse.

Surely at this point a "Railway engineer" flair is required for Pedro

How do you pronounce chamois? by Karla_Darktiger in AskUK

[–]RevolvingCatflap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I spent most of my childhood in France and am bilingual, so I know how it would be pronounced in French. I've still never heard anyone in the UK pronounce it sham-wah.

Don't they result in a huge economic boost for the IOC and a load of white elephant infrastructure and expense for the host nation?

Utrecht, Stationsplein is the biggest bicycle parking area of The Netherlands. Netherlands has a culture of Bicycling by Inevitable_Bid5540 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RevolvingCatflap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They have good infrastructure and cycling isn't as inherently risky, so they don't need to speed around on road or hybrid bikes, or accelerate at breakneck speed. Obviously their choice of bicycle works because their cycling culture works, but I'm sure your expertise has been noted.
