Will it help me seethe in the dark?

Was that one down to Sam Allardyce?

Was going to ask ‘wot no cycling?’ but then realised ‘Brits’, who only drive.

Not sure where the difference would be for cycling. Don't people use miles and mph when cycling?

The running is wrong. All runs are in miles, unless they're official metric distance races.

running is wrong

Innit.

Only that it was missing from the measuring. Cycling forum snagging. I use miles. Am I a bad person?

To my shame, when I ran, I would always say ‘10k this evening’.
Hate myself now for that.

Redemption can be found in a 5 mile run.

miles for distance, meters for elevation

running is wrong

Innit.

Back to champagne by the pint
It’s something I associate with Churchill - I recall he thought it the perfect volume for a workday lunch.
Maybe that’s why the current generation of hard-right, backward pricks want to see this measure revived

It's km for distance, feet for elevation.

Inches for dicks, cm for everything else except height sometimes.

Just catching up...classic dead cat strategy?

You've got Labour claiming govt not going for enough with sanctions, so is the bounce not high enough?

Oh well. It’s finally started in Ukraine, got to hope it’s some sort of shock and awe and get out thing not a war to rule the country. If it’s the latter I expect Taiwan will be very worried.

Can’t even say “I hope people will be okay” as it’s trite in the onslaught of missiles, tanks and troops.

All the UK journalists that went to Kyiv thinking the action would all be in the east being woken up by cruise missiles today.

Let me insert that for you

Also, well, bollocks.

Did I just hear thunder or bombs ?

explosions heard in east london, could be thunder but i'm guessing a rogue nuke

Really didn't need a massive thunder clap right now

Isn't one of the good things about nukes that, by the time you hear it, you're already dead?

The light flash, tho...
