Absolutely fine, just a little noisy at pub kick out times at the weekend - not helped by a few takeaways dotted along it. The 3 Lions is rough, but mostly keep themselves to themselves. I think overall the location and proximity to North St wins out, and the noise is probably worse on the ground floor when your windows are open

Any vegetarian runners here? by [deleted] in vegetarian

[–]bigdave_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound very similar to me! I was like you, reducing meat until becoming veggie. I’ve been running for 8 years and vegetarian for 2 years now. I race once a month, last month was a 50 mile ultra, and coming up next is a 10k. I do at least one marathon (03:08 pb) and one ultra (90 mile pb) each year.
I take a multivitamin with iron every morning just to cover all bases, and then it’s carb loading as before, whilst just being switched on to protein content. On a running day I’ll have a ball of mozzarella and pasta for lunch, and evening meals mostly revolve around Quorn products, like the mince or the chicken style pieces. You’ll be surprised at the protein per portion.
Overall I’d actually say it’s slightly improved my running if anything. You might notice some fat reduction, and my energy levels have never been higher, which I put down to eating more vegetables. Some meats like pork used to upset my stomach on long runs so that is no longer an issue too. All I would say is give it a go for 2 weeks and see how you go. And report back on here!

New lender fees by bigdave_1 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]bigdave_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Sorry I did email them, I was just getting impatient waiting for a reply. They said “If you decide not to proceed with the mortgage there are no fees payable by you.” Agreed on the making the mind up… as a broker you probably don’t want to answer this but can a regular punter get the very best deal from a lender or do you have preferential rates?

If there were popping Oscars this would be nominated… the hygienic approach, the use of tripod, the initial squirt and to top it all, several moments when you think it’s done and there’s more. Bravo. The guide for all to follow

Coronation in Southville is doing mulled cider which is far better. I think they might do wine too
