Men are usually taller.

It looked to me that her message was 'look at this, this is no way a Labour area, we don't have a chance here, I'm wasting my time', which is all fair and inoffensive. But if a front bench politician couldn't see how easily it could be twisted, especially in these days when 'britishness' seems to matter because the whole national political discourse is on a xenophobic gish gallop, she's too stupid to be on the front bench.

You were doing ok until the Danny Alexander thing...

In fariness, Britain First are pretty clever about hiding in plain sight - you see plenty of their links on FB reposted by people who should know better because it was about summat seemingly innocuous, like saving animals or people being heroic. My gf accidentally reposted one of their links because it was about saving elephants, and she's from where the elephants are from.

Although, wasn't Robinson was a Tory at Oxford, and you only go more right wing as you get older.

Blimmin' Qatar again - bet they paid many a shekel in backhanders to get that hosting deal...

Not loud enough, probably decibel limits in the venue, but you wouldn't have mistaken it for a Low gig.

Oh yes.

Awful, awful music...>

I know you are, but what are they etcetc

Typical Mary Chain moment last night - Jim comes on stage and says, 'Right, we're guannae play the encore first and then play Psychocandy, so we won't come back at the end'. They then should've done a half-hearted version of I Love Rock and Roll and stalking off, but spoiled it by doing a scorching greatest hits set.

Kinda like the idea of him racing leopards before monster truck rallies or boxing kangaroos at county fairs like some disgraced sportsman from olden times.

Cool, anytime between 7 and 9 this Friday would be fine.

It's Shooters Hill, and I will be coming back on Friday night this week, by 7pm. Otherwise, it'll mainly be Sunday pms. I mainly live at gf's now, and will be working away a lot in the next month, so not at the house very often.

V is now with CoM for drag, very decent of you, wildthin9 - imaginary rep.

Yes you could.

Sorry Drag, wildthin9 has already dibsed the graphic novels. But you're welcome to CoM.

I'm moving, so clearing out a load of books I probably won't read again and don't have space for. Take as many as you like. Two things:

• If you take some, I'd really appreciate if you could give a donation to Crisis - I won't check on this, so it's your call. Even just buy the next homeless person you see a coffee or a sandwich.
  
• I'm not around much in the next few weeks, so pickup would need to be arranged - preferably from SE18 on a Sunday afternoon

^^everyone white, under the age of 40 and not a dog in those photies needs working on

Godammit, I so want this, but have Mary Chain tomorrow, so would lose so many brownie points. Have a bump anyway. £18000 is cheap btw.

The North and South Downs way routes are available online, generally lovely all the way. I've done a few races in the areas which had great courses which are probably online as well, but I can't remember the names of them. Let me think, they may come to me. Should really keep the medals or tshirts for reference...

If you're only training for a half mara, some nice runs on the North/South Downs or Pilgrims Way are good options closer to home. Less hilly, but you could get out of London, do a few good hours running and get home in daylight easily enough.

Go to hilly places, run in the hills. Running on a treadmill =/= running on hilly ground. Fast hill repeats will build a bit of strength, but won't be very inspiring. Go to the Downs, run in natural places, man.

Did I ever tell you about that 165 mile treadmill run I did?...

What can you do other than despair about a society that passes laws to stop people knowing the truth about what they're being fed? Not that the complacent fuckers would generally give a toss anyway.

I was in an animal-rights based thrash metal band called McDeth at school. Our message didn't close so much as one single slaughterhouse.

One of the links that comes up is to a story about another Tammy Ruffell, who was killed in a car crash. I see what you were trying to do, God, but the mix-up was unfortunate.

Actually, I would come along to drinks / skating at some stage. Will be off the Wharf on client site for much of the next few weeks, but will join summat when I can.

Standard.

Parlour is never bearable.

uniladmag sounds like something Dapper Laughs would write for. Would not click.
