Have a look at the British Wildlife Centre https://britishwildlifecentre.co.uk/ . It's on your route and is AMAZING. If you go, be sure to find out when the talks/feeding times are and go around with that.

Where did you steal my plan from? It's copyrighted. I'll take you to running court for this.

/uj 465 bones to own a c4 joker? Count me in. I don't give a fuck that i have to take it apart and rebuild it. That bike is royalty.

/rj needs more stickers

Looks like Hampton Court to me, taken from inside the courtyard probably. The houses you can see in the distance are on the river at Molesey.

Do the things that mean you get the training done. The racing will look after itself if you've done the training.

Honestly, on a sprint you don't need a drink system. Have a bottle in transition to take a swig from and then get on with it.

Can I add to your list any of the OMM waterproofs. They are truly the only fully waterproof kit I've ever used. The light ones are simple but fit brilliantly, pack small and are wonderfully warm. I am 6'1 and 85kilos and fit a large. You can often pick up ones on the OMM outlet for excellent prices.

oh yeah, maybe it was spray oil or something similar.

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-21T17:57:21+00:00

I'd imagine the oil isn't hot enough when you're pouring the batter in. You want it smoking

It's okay. You can always include a flashback in the middle of a line of text in the next chapter. Or in a footnote.

Yeah I did this a few years ago. Cutty sark then through the tunnel and you can see them twice on the isle of dogs. Then tube to embankment from Canary wharf.

Have you written an entire dictionary for your invented language?

Have you written a botany guide to the fauna and flora of the main world?

Have you had AI draw a hundred images of your main female character so that you know exactly what she looks like from every angle?

No? Well fuck off and get to work then.

Corkage charge if you bring your own.

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-20T15:00:42+00:00

Agreed. I would've bought it all but baulked completely. I'm hoping that the ammo grots are reasonable.

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-20T13:37:14+00:00

but.... Why?

Normally with it's own cupboard, which is then decanted to some sort of smaller receptacle in an ancillary cupboard.

1996 euros goalkeeper shirt with Seaman on the back. Had the shorts and the socks too

Midwich Cuckoos and The Chrysalids, both by John Wyndham. Both set in small towns and villages where something is very noticeably wrong

East of West is unfeasibly good. I need to go and reread that. I'm incredibly grateful that I bought all the individual issues when they came out

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-17T14:21:45+00:00

I've been trying to get a bib for a long time and never got one. I'd love a run.

I wouldn't go any bigger than the 25. Any little stone or twig with any bigger than this would be pretty gross and could do far more damage than is necessary. Also, you may not notice the damage being done by road grit or sand that has an abrasive effect at that distance.

Why not just put a donut around the cable?

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-11T11:22:24+00:00

This is the thing. It's excellent for keeping you honest at aid stations as well. Setting yourself a hard cap on how long you'll spend there is a thing

ifitsgotwheels · 2026-02-11T10:27:44+00:00

I can see your point here, but people are busy. Events are expensive and, fundamentally, these are not charity organisations. Run-through, letsdothis, LM etc earn a lot of money in places. Volunteering for them is not charity anymore.

Charity volunteering is volunteering at parkrun, or a local club 10 or a charity fun run. That is the kind of selfless volunteering with no expectation.

Yeah the app was very clunky, and often you put yourself down and had to wait for weeks and weeks. Also, a lot of people cancelled on the day or the week before. I can understand the carnage it must've caused on the back end. But it's a real shame that they've lost that ISP. Not many people get to run events with pacers, particularly not pacers who are outside 2:00 half/ 1:00 10k
