The town is 'Ifrane', Morocco.

True, but who knows what retrospective action may have been taken? A bird in the hand and all that...
Anyway, central heating in spring/summer? Mere piffle and circumstance.

You obviously don't live were we do, -1c last night, have definitely needed CH last few weeks!

An hour or so to take the chill off. Nothing to worry the bank balance. 😉

Running a 14 minute marathon PB to finally break 4 hours in my 10th marathon (4 of those have been Snowdonia Marathon and another Snowdon trail marathon that actually went over Snowdon at around 20 miles so excusable). Still hit the wall hard at 20 miles but managed it better than usual.

Watching the officials trying to get all the balls back in the right place after a very aggressive ‘miss’ trying to get out of a snooker (seems unfair to class what was so nearly an incredible shot as a miss).

Haha. It seems like the Rwanda 'deportee' has disappeared with his £3000 having gone to Rwanda. If he comes back to the UK, he can't be deported again, as now he has a Rwandan ID, and people wirth Rwandan IDs can't be deported to Rwanda.

If he does come back it has the feeling of someone having put him up to it.

IIRC he originally comes from a neighbouring country. He's maybe just gone home with a wedge in his pocket.

It's almost as though this isn't a serious attempt to deal with Channel crossings.

I’ll get in here first…’So your suggestion is we just let them all in’. Always willing to help save other forum members some time.

They can't fly straight back as they won't have a visa. The UK, like other countries, has paid someone to leave and they have left. It's not a gotcha.

Time will tell if the rammed-through Rwanda bill is a finely-crafted piece of legislation that will stand the test of time, or is a pig's ear of legally-contestible and loopholeful grandstanding that will make the Window Tax seem like a bit of constitutional genius.

Given the amounts being spent to forcibly deport people, and the impossibility of deporting all those identified as such, it seems that just offering a wad of cash and a plane ticket is far more cost effective.

Its another selling point for the traffickers, you can get the money back you paid me from the UK government plus a free excursion.

Supposedly* getting a VO2 Max score of 62 from Garmin putting me as excellent in the 18-25 year age bracket. 😎
*I know in all likelihood that is is complete bollocks but I'm taking it anyway. 😉

Thought I was doing well on 52 (top 5% for age and gender and the same as an excellent 20 year old).

I do wonder if it says more (in a bad way) about the fitness of the general population.
On the other hand, I do have a resting HR of 44 which is a bit different from normal.

Things are never that simple. I think the UK has always offered to fly people home, but many countries won't accept returning citizens without documentation, and most asylum seekers destroy their documentation.

Sounds good, https://intervals.icu/ (donate-ware statstastic) reckons I had a VO2 score of 55.9 in '22 before long covid, now ~40 having reached the half century a few months back.
Expected to hit 20C+ in Hampshire for first time this year, later today.😎

I wasn't being serious. More a comment on finding increasingly expensive ways to do something ineffectual.

On the plus side of having Covid I seem to have lost 1.5kgs over a week. Which is nice.
Now just need a bout of galloping dysentery to lose the other 3.5kgs so my tux might fit next week.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

I've only ever bought dress suits from M&S, as they are just workwear for me, and they sell the trousers and jackets separately, so can replace the trousers without replacing the jacket, and can get a jacket wide enough without having trousers that fall down. A bit disappointed that I've at last had to go up to 32" waist from the 30" I'd been since uni days. Must cycle more, as I'm not going to start eating less.
Actually I dislike dress suits for work: much prefer the more modern all-black code, with jackets optional (good for warm weather).

Don't want to burst your balloon(ing), Mr Trumpet but M&S are known for some of the worst vanity sizing (you may have a back catalogue of trousers in the wardrobe to dispute this).

Maybe I need to do my Poldark impersonation to get to 10,000 middle-aged French female fans. I'll whip out my scythe. Still, quite amusing that this is more than the total population of the local town.

The alignment of the planets tomorrow: I've got a day off, and the weather looks perfect to circumnavigate Dartmoor. There's even a new branch of a tip-top farm shop with restaurant that's opened up en route. Luch there (Buckfastleigh) then coffee & cake at Tavistock.
