In case someone lifts his cistern. If he reported the theft to the police, they could come and have a look but they wouldn't have anything to go on.0 -

Turning up at a 4 mile running race last night with little expectation of a decent run (by my standards) given the relatively short time since my marathon and having spent 9 hours driving only getting there with 15 minutes to spare, deciding to give it a bit of a go anyway and ending up knocking just under 2.5 minutes off my PB. It doesn't sound a huge amount but if I improved my marathon PB by the same percentage it would equate to a 30 minute improvement. Just running in the countryside on a beautiful evening after being stuck in the car for 9 hours cheered me up so this was a real bonus and I even smashed my 5k PB in the process.0

Riding home on the cycle path on warmer month evenings. It's a mixture of annoyance at the overcrowding and joyful delight from the constant stream of fantastic tits coming towards me.0

When your expenses haven't been paid for a while and they start mounting up into quite a substantial sum, feels like an impromptu bonus when they get paid.0

It does. Except afterwards you realise you've been giving your employer an interest free loan.

The mileage rate helps though, I haven't directly paid out as much as I'll get back.0 -

Probably a trivial amount for others.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

The England cricket team
Pakistan are posting scores that five or ten years ago would have been unbeatable but England are overhauling them with almost contemptuous ease! Even when they lose several wickets in a short time it’s as if another player will be saying “don’t worry, I’ll take care of things today!”
It’s a bit of a golden period, it won’t last forever of course, but bloody hell I’m enjoying it while it lasts.0 -

I'm not on about her looks, I'm talking about her sh1t voice which she's always had when singing live. Mind you, if you've relied heavily on your image and shock value to compensate for your terrible vocals then it's even more tragic when you're 60 and you've turned yourself into the double of Joecelyn Wildenstein in a series of failed cosmetic surgeries in desperate attempts to cling onto your looks.0 -
Going for a run just now with my 17 yo kid and having to hang back a bit so she could keep up puffing and panting while I wasn't really breaking a sweat Not sure whether that says more about her or me, mind."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Had the same with mine a couple of years ago while she was doing A level PE. Obviously I never mention how she couldn't keep up with her slightly over-weight, middle aged father on a short run since!0
