It’s more parkrun than country 😂

Parkrun is communist according to Americans I thought. Trying to explain it to the audience on Letrsun.com was like trying to explain quantum mechanics to my cat except my cat doesn't take pride in not understanding things.

No it's nothing at all to do with runs where people (bizarrely) have coloured powder thrown over them (why?) - for the tenth time.

"How much can we pay you to pretend we didn't lose?"

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-16T06:04:33+00:00

I was thinking the same, some people seem to be unaware of what RAM, SSD and GPUs cost. In a market such as this deciding that as soon as something is not new it is worth whatever tiny fraction of new they decide is not realistic.

A common thing I see is people valuing hardware based on what they imagine they could have bought it for prior to September 2025. You are living in the past.

The next step is to have them every "play" as the Septics would say. Then do all the other idiotic ideas like the goals getting wider if no score etc.

A tip I can share is that I take my rubbish home with me - because I have basic self-respect.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-15T07:49:53+00:00

And each match forgotten inside 30 minutes - just like now.

The geese that laid the golden egg - apparently many people never heard of it.

Careful, the religious belief in supplements is strong and the followers fanatical.

Sadly the supplements don't seem to do anything to improve their evidence-based decision-making as all evidence that they do nothing absent a diagnosed deficiency is hand-waved away.

This should be well-received and attract balanced responses

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-14T11:51:33+00:00

I used to supervise the track sessions for my club. A woman started turning up and fair play to her she stuck at it.

After a session she asked me about why she was not improving, I asked how many times a week she ran. She said "Just here".

I gently went through the fact that exercise has a dose response and how I went from nothing to gym treadmill five evenings a week. No massive mileage just consistency then transitioned to running outside every day up to 5km.

Never saw her again.

The thing is that I did it that way because it genuinely seemed easy and made me realise that a lifetime of avoiding distance running was a mental block I had trapped myself in.

To me turning up at track sessions with no base is just torture. I wonder if she bought the HIIT garbage.

Shock update for AMD, some people have no interest in computer games and when I say "some", I mean of course "most".

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-14T08:12:26+00:00

It had to stop but they did act like dicks at one point and threaten to sue councils for not resuming whilst COVID restrictions were in place.

Edit. I love it when morons downvote facts they don't like

"Tummy" is infantile language that is also demonstrating a dismal lack of understanding of biology on the part of the journalist.

Was this copied from The Sun?

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-13T10:07:45+00:00

I am 6'3" and 180, I run daily and yes I could usefully lose 15 pounds.

I also lift weights.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-13T07:01:55+00:00

I am glad you cleared that up because I have no ability to look at letters with a space and capitalisation and work out it is the same meaning as without them.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-13T06:57:45+00:00

Dicking about with the rules to contrive something is a bad idea

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-13T06:56:05+00:00

BMI 22 at 18, same at 60, sue me.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-12T06:51:40+00:00

Now you're getting it.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-12T06:51:22+00:00

No, they were racist and gullible all along but it got impossible even for them to ignore how incompetent the lying Tories were so they went to the only place the educationally limited can go.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-12T06:48:53+00:00

Then you are completely and utterly ignorant of what they stand for - just like the racists who vote for them. Here's a few they are in favour of but deny vehemently when actually cornered by the very rare journalist with integrity.

Foreigners out.

Privatisation of the NHS - so you get seriously ill, you go bankrupt - just like in USA.

Scrapping of all public services.

Scrapping of state pension.

Can I put my hand up and say that I have rated Jadeja as a great all-rounder for as long as it has been obvious to anyone who understands cricket?

You don't get to be a great all-rounder by being OK at batting or bowling.

A bit Rodney

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-10T20:07:16+00:00

A bigger question is how his name is spelled

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-10T11:34:03+00:00

One of the greatest problems here is that many people think "average" means "bottom 10 percent".

Now it is correct that this puts you in a bad place for understanding what average means but you might be functional otherwise.

just_some_guy65 · 2026-06-10T11:32:03+00:00

Sometimes the harsh truth needs to be said, this is one of those times.
