Staying in York this coming weekend and York Racecourse PR is not on.
We will therefore need to get to one of the two others by bike from central York.
My question is, is there anywhere to chain up the bikes (bike park preferably) at either of them. We're equidistant from both so it will come down to bike parking availability :)
UPDATE: thanks to everyone who replied. YCW it will be 🙏🏼
Not podcasts per se, but very very similar.
Two forensic psychologists talk to people who have received court sentences for their crimes to understand what drove them to offend, and crucially, what might help them change.
18 episodes in total and around 40 minutes each. Fascinating insights discussing what drove a person to commit crime.
This bad boy was the GOAT when I was growing up in Manchester in the 80’s.
I was just trying do describe to my other half what meat it was and drew a complete blank. I couldn’t even describe what the meat was like. It’s not chunks of meat, it’s sausage like but not sausage.
I’ve since googled and sourced the answer but am interested to know how others would describe it.
I'm not affiliated in any way but have been waiting for the Buddy Rider to come into stock for months! We are based in UK.
Anyway, after endless searches came across this company and we rang and spoke to the chap and it arrived today. Takes dogs from 2kg to 18kg. Our dog is 10kg.
Husband had it on his bike within about 20 mins and we took our mini schnauzer out on it straight away.
I was really worried that we'd struggle to get him on and settled but he loved it!!
I didn't take a photo and now we've taken the bike into Halfords to get it's brakes made not squeaky! But, as soon as it's back ,I'll post a photo and you can see.
If like us, you are waiting for the Buddy Rider, maybe check out this company. We ordered the extra cushion too.
Not a podcast person but wanted something an hour long to help me on a longer run.
Wow! The reveal caused goosebumps for me.
Fabulous.
I'm not really sure where to post this so I may cross post to a Milan community too. I've just realised that we will be travelling down from Lake Como and on to Matterhorn and almost skirting past Milan park Run. So obviously now we want to do it.
I'm just wondering about parking there - we have a 6m motorhome. Has anyone driven there and parked? (usually I wouldn't touch driving in Milan but we are literally 4k away so it seems ridiculous not to)
In the original letter she says:
My local park, which is a lovely green space with a duck pond and where I like to walk with my dog most days, is taken over on a Sunday morning by folk engaging in a parkrun. Help ma boab, whatever next? They can’t even manage to canter around on their own if that be their thing. Oh no, it has to be an organised event in the company of others, with stewards shouting encouragement to them as they circumnavigate the park following each other like lemmings. No wonder Anthony Newley sang Stop the World – I Want to Get Off.
2 The dog can jump on the sofa/chair but only when sitting on someone’s knee.
The dog can sit on the sofa but only on a dog blanket.
The dog can sit/lie/take over the chair/sofa.
The dog is not allowed upstairs.
The dog is allowed upstairs but not on the bed.
The owner now must share the bed with the dog
So very excited to be able to do HP next week. Grew up in Manchester and used to visit the park tons. We are travelling from city centre and as there are four of us, will be getting an uber.
Won’t be getting tram as not quite the right part of the city to make it timely.
Where do I plan the uber to? Is there a specific entrance for the park run that we can be dropped off at?
TIA
I’m 61F, live in UK and not eligible for the free vaccine.
The cost is £400 for both doses which I am willing to pay.
I’m fit and healthy. I had chicken pox as a child.
My question is are there any real dealbreakers/ downsides to getting the Shingrix vaccine?
I have an appointment booked for the first dose on Monday but thought I’d ask here as there are so many people who probably have more experience of it than through
my doctor.
EDIT: Thank you to all who replied. I will get it and will report back on this thread if I got any side effects.
Clearly though the benefit outweighs the shingles
So I’m 61F and have been running for two and a half years.
I started with C5K and gradually progressed to 5k runs three times a week. Love Park Run and have done about four 10k races.
I’ve never been “fast”, averaging at about 7:00km per hour with pb’s at 6:13.
A couple of months ago my friend persuaded me to sign up for a half marathon and after quite a bit of deliberation, I did.
Since then I’ve been in “training”. Have increased one run a week to 10k+, done a couple of 14’s and the most was 17k.
I’ve listened to some great advice from these forums and have slowed right down on my longer runs. Interestingly my 5k Park Run times have really picked up ( presumably thanks to those longer runs paying off).
But…I’m miserable. Yes, I feel mentally elated when I finish running longer distances but I’m knackered.
And what started out as running for fitness and pleasure has turned into mentally having to push myself now so that I can do those 21k’s on the day. And I just find it so hard to motivate myself.
So today, I converted my entry into 10k and almost felt a sigh of relief. It was internal guilt and that little voice inside me saying I’d be failing that had stopped me converting it so far.
I have nothing but respect for all you who can run halves, marathons, ultras. Especially any old fart like me who has done it later in life from scratch.
I think so just wanted to post on here to say that I’ll still be aiming for a 10k once a week and I’ll still be in Zone 2 for it but maybe right now, a half marathon is just not for me.
I know someone who hated their job and sold their house to live in a (quite small) motorhome. They were about ten years off retirement but had just had enough. Last I heard they were staying free nights on accommodating pub car parks ( no judgement here btw).
Interested to hear from those who have done similar and how it’s worked out.
I keep seeing clips come up on my
Instagram feed and it looks great but I’d love others’ opinions.
I loved US Office but not uk, couldn’t really get into Parks and Recreation or Its always Sunny
I’ve read a lot of the threads already but clearly I’m missing a trick.
I’m using an apple watch but am recording my runs on strava via my watch.
I don’t want to use Apple for my runs so please don’t suggest that.
I can’t get the heart rate to show on the completed run.
Can someone kindly walk me through what I need to do to get this enabled?
So I haven’t watched it for years but it happened to be on tonight as we only had access to terrestrial tv. Good god! What has happened to be the standard of questions?
Examples, in the general knowledge round: What piece of punctuation is a line with a dot at the bottom? What do the letters PTO stand for at the bottom of a page? What does Hi-vis stand for?
Honestly it was so disappointing. Luckily it was followed by Only Connect and University Challenge which reminded me what a true mastermind looks like.
God I loved* *spending a ridiculous amount of time each morning deciding which box to go for.
Apologies if this is basic but it’s just appeared on my BT pension statement.
I started drawing my pension at 60 and am due state pension at 67. I’m currently 64.
What exactly is this, is it particular to certain conditions or general across all company pension schemes and is this something I should have been advised about?
thanks in advance.
I live is a really hard water area (uk). With my old cheap and cheerful Russell hobs drip thingy, it had a warning light telling me to descale.
We used descale tablets and ran it through once and then rinsed it through about three times.
Would this still work or am I better using a different product?
Also any tips on how often?
thanks
