Wow, that's way full on!! These were super easy in comparison. Only one screw was an issue. The metal around the hex hole had rolled in, so had to use a needle file to widen the hole. There were then sparks breaking the seized screw, which was exciting

12 years old! Time for a new set

Nudie. They have a couple of stores central

'One can view Islam as the successor to Christianity'

this is what I was taught growing up (as a muslim). not saying it's correct, but this is what we were taught.

5k PB round Dulwich ParkRun - 19:03
Well pleased with this. Specially considering the 4 beers and midnight bedtime last night

Super. Thanks for the reply.

From the reviews everyone seems to fail to mention this!

The Garmin edge explore 2 comes in the regular option or with the power bundle (90 quid more). Can you still charge and use at the same time with the regular version, by just plugging a battery pack to it. Or must you get the power bundle for this functionality

Rapha's 'explore technical t-shirt' make for a very smart running top. Wear them for all my runs bar racing or the hottest of days, both of which require a light singlet. Have avoided the 'trail' version as the cut looks odd. They're always in their sale, when Rapha has them. They're not not worth the full price!

When I was in Austria over xmas found out that GiffGaff offer 5GB of your data allowance can be used for roaming, but will charge you once that's used up. Found out it is remarkably quick to chew through that 5GB. Luckily my next plan started halfway through the hols

Yeah, either rest or jog if you feel you can.

Fingers crossed it's not too bad

I use an mp3 player with bluetooth and leave the phone at home
(admittedly i use it for audio books rather than music)

It's a bit crap, but not so crap that I'd rather take my phone with me

Overall pleased with last year's effort. Started on 72kg and was hoping to get down to 60. Ended up on 67. Fair way off target but still 5kg down.
Anyway, a similarly ridiculous target for this year.

Current weight 67.0 kg
Goal weight: 55 kg

Hoping 'Dry Jan' is going to mean a good couple of kg loss for the first month

5% faster you say....
Just checked my splits: 19:14 and 19:45
So by my dodgy maths, 5k race equivalent would be 18:16 (3:39min/k).
Mind blown. Well it's something to aim for. Will post how things go.

Apologies for the boast post. 
Broke my 10k pb by 4mins over the weekend. 38:59. Well pleased with this and wasn't expecting to go that fast. Pretty much all my running is at easy pace, try and get a couple of tempo runs in per week and strides. But apart from the strides, i've never touched this kind of pace in training.
Went into the race hoping for between 40 and 43 mins. Difficult to manage expectations when you don't train for a particular time. Conditions were pretty much perfect and the course was round Battersea Park, so pancake flat.
Next target is to (officially) better my 5k pb (20:01) before xmas. Once i've recovered, try and get 4-5 weeks solid volume and then parkrun it (probably Dulwich). Sub 19 would be nice.

As an idea to sell patches, you could approach the Clothing Secretary of running clubs asking if they want an order of say 50 for x amount. I know if my club offered one for a tenner i'd snap up a couple.

thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, saw it as a hard cap which would be crazy.

question: with the price cap at 2.5k, can I leave my central heating on 24/7 and run a crypto farm, and the most i'll pay is 2.5k?

This doesn't quite feel right...!

Pinch cafe looks good. Haven't been yet but keep cycling past thinking i should!

Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Can often get it in Indian grocery stores in the spice section. Was in the first one we walked into (SW London)

50k for funsies!!

Revert to what it was

What was wrong with 'The Vegan Thread'?

Think adding 'and Plant Based' takes something away.

Not too sure about this thread name/title change. Where do we go to discuss non-food vegan topics. Seemed the old title was fine, specially as there is already a thread about vegan/vegetarian food. So now we have a vegan/plant based food thread and a vegan/veggie food thread. Great.

Anyway, 3 glasses of (vegan) wine deep and perhaps i should pipe down for fear of sounding like the exclusionary radical vegan that I am.

Don't know for sure but recon it's always been vegan and now just repackaged. Have noticed a general trend to slap the vegan label on more stuff
