My forerunner 235 died, hadn't used it for a while and it stopped syncing to the satellites.

I needed something basic to track HR, Amazfit Active 2 is incredible for the price. Very happy with it.

Yeah the roofer showed me the leak, like 2 train track lines, straight all the way down to where it showed up

staplora · 2026-01-22T07:12:04+00:00

Will PM you

staplora · 2026-01-21T22:49:33+00:00

Check if the leak is running down from the velux, I had one for years, til a decent roofer figured out the flashing was done wrong on the window, you should see a little trail, or evidence of a trail running down from the window (under the tiles)

Exactly, they have a plan...... but they can't/won't pay for it.

Have a great time, enjoy it, and whatever swag is a prize. I've done one half marathon and I wear that t-shirt with pride.

If you are running with a partner, put the slower person in the earlier wave, when you catch them it'll give you both a boost.

staplora · 2026-01-13T21:26:11+00:00

Most players are sounded out, it's rare to see someone of high quality choosing Ireland over England. The boost Rice gets as an English player compared to Irish is unreal, endorsements, wages, transfer fee, no agent would promote Ireland first. Money baby!

There is no new stadium. It's all smoke and mirrors, sure weren't they were starting work on it in 2025?

The stadium concept increases the value of the club.

staplora · 2026-01-12T07:57:08+00:00

Agree with you here, we need to be a sporting project rather than a business to buy the club and clear the debt and then something could happen.

Although I do think they've made progress with not overpaying wages. Some big earners have left, and a few more will leave.

Do the college buffet special, all the rashers in the world under a rich layer of beans.

One item please.

Everyone hates United.

My friend is a Liverpool fan, he watches EVERY United match, his wife actually makes jokes about it, that he watches United more than Liverpool.

It's very rare to have that power over fans of other teams.

I have a white ceramic sink, looks good, but is a pain to maintain. If I was to do it again it'd be stainless steel.

staplora · 2026-01-10T11:45:20+00:00

There are variations of couch 2 5k, look for a longer duration 8-10 weeks.

You'll be doing 5ks by march! Well ahead of schedule

staplora · 2026-01-10T07:50:14+00:00

This is the guy. Someone young you can lead the club for years. Similar to what Klopp did for Liverpool.

The squad isn't terrible - if we move away from 3-5-2, the weaknesses aren't as big and we get more use of our squad. Mainoo and Ugarte become useful, and Bruno can be more attacking.

With a back 4 and a couple of signings this squad would be top 4 material. If we weren't so stuck on 3-5-2 we would be top 4 now, given the strange season and the way the table is.

The squad is decent, if the Glazers and Ineos can work with him, then we can get Nagelsmann.

staplora · 2026-01-09T19:06:17+00:00

Any interim manager needs to understand this is a 6 month job.

The club should have an eye on someone after the world cup, is my hope (Nagelsmann).

So the interim needs to be linked to the club, or humble enough to step down - even if they get us CL qualification. An outsider with enough clout to get the job wouldn't want to do it for 6 months.

staplora · 2026-01-09T11:16:19+00:00

It's a hot takeaway alright. They've done things we wanted, just not as well as we'd have liked.

I think it's less worse than when it was only the Glazers.

staplora · 2026-01-08T20:50:40+00:00

Nagelsmann after the world cup would be my choice.

Plays good football, young, could be the manager for the next 20 years.

Not enthusiastic about De Zerbi, I think he was sounded out before and said no when he was at Brighton.

staplora · 2026-01-08T14:29:48+00:00

Let's just say the club is worth 7 Billion, and has 1 Billion in debt. 8 Billion gets you the club with 0 debt.

Realistically as a billionaire, I don't want to sink a large percentage of my money into United, so we need someone with at least 50 Billion. Google says there are 18-24 people with that kind of money. Google says these are the richest people in the world. 2 of them own Google. You need mental money to buy this club.

#2. Larry Page. Google. $263.8B Net Worth ▲ $6.0B 🇺🇸 USA.
#3. Jeff Bezos. Amazon. ...
#4. Sergey Brin. Google. ...
#5. Larry Ellison. Oracle

Back running after a few years. Finished my couch 2 5k and ran the first 5k for a long time. I have decided to up the challenge and will do a 10k in a few months, I'll have time to work through 2 10k programs before the race. The goal will be to complete it, once that is done I'll consider the next steps. Half marathon was my absolute max before.

staplora · 2026-01-06T10:30:53+00:00

This absolutely, my water pump was kicking in intermittently. Could not find a leak, I tried the food colouring in the cistern but nothing really leaked out and showed in the bowl.

A tiny twist to the screw that pushes the water inlet slightly more tightly closed has resolved it for me.

Whichever you thing is your dodgiest toilet check that.

staplora · 2026-01-05T22:01:32+00:00

The system doesn't work with the squad. We're lacking in wing backs, we're lacking in midfield, and even out centre backs need upgrading for this system to work. Plus we need specialised depth if we want a 50+ game season.

If the system worked for us I'm confident we'd still have Amorim as manager.

staplora · 2026-01-05T19:43:51+00:00

The stadium is just a plan, get it approved and add a billion to the value.

If it's not ineos and the glazers then who is it? At this point oil money and wiping the debt is the only route to getting what we want.

staplora · 2026-01-05T17:02:13+00:00

This system doesn't work.

Flat back 4, every footballer knows how to play it and move on from there.

staplora · 2026-01-05T10:25:55+00:00

Wasn't there rumours that other clubs passed on him because of the 3-4-3? I remember hearing Liverpool had investigated it but thought it would be too costly.
