Tommy's variation from winter to summer was far more extreme, from 150-odd in the winter to well over 300 in the summer.

And there we all were on tenterhooks. Mañana?

Another 5 days. What's been the longest standing tag so far?

I've just ordered some drysuit wrist cuffs (XL). Going to try them upside down as gaiters over the top of my winter boots. Anyone else tried this? Will feedback...

Give us a clue

Velotoze shoe covers completely stop the water running down the legs into the boots. Not at all breathable, not the most durable, and fuckers to get on though.

I've run Blackburn low riders with disc brake before. Needed eyelets half way up the fork leg though

3930 for fun. Plus commutes and pootling about junk miles.

Kings Fund says there's not really any extra money for actual services. DoH says there is. NHS england sits awkwardly on the fence. http://gu.com/p/4fb2d?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Wondering what magic efficiencies the DoH thinks will cover the funding shortfall over the next 5 years? Well here's an idea... I recently heard a senior service manager in a London MH trust talking about schizophrenics needing to be "more robust"... a big dose of HTFU everyone and it'll all be fine.

That really is good.

Govt sticking an 8% surcharge on banking profits from 1/1/16.

Signed up but have realised I have almost no chance of completing it. Working 4 of the days, and probably not doing 3 back to back centuries starting on Boxing Day! Will be doing an 80-90 mile jaunt to East Kent on Boxing Day if anyone fancies tagging along.

Me to. Think it's waterside somewhere, but can't remember if canal, river, or dock side

But it was only his right hand man who knew about Russian doping cover ups. Not the good Lord Coe!

Into Thin Air is brilliant. Tense and vivid. Was thinking about it yesterday when I watched the Epic of Everest

one of the restricted access bits of the Thames Path

Sorry I didn't clock that bit

I know there's a film thread, but this seems a more appropriate place.

Just watched The Epic of Everest. Incredible film from 1924 about the Mallory/Irvin expedition. It's been restored and given a new score by Simon Fisher Turner.
