Couch to 5k worked brilliantly for me, I'd recommend it to anyone starting out. Edit: this podcast was good for me

Maybe we could put ours on ebay and sell them to one of these countries?

Yes, I always like this one. Go to Stratford-upon-Avon; The fact that Shakespeare is no longer their doesn't keep people away. It's the same concept, it's the history and tradition that brings in tourists, not what is actually there now. We don't need posh people with silly made up titles to attract tourists.

Cheers mate. I think keep the monarchy. And so do the vast majority of people in their early 20s that i know. Grow up. I find it ironic that someone who supports the monarchy also uses "majority" as part of their argument.

It's the 21st Century, anyone who thinks a royal family can have any possible relevant role in the world is either brain washed or brain dead.

Fixed. Like you, I really can't even start to understand how anyone could want a monarchy.

Yes, military dictators are great!! :bang: I think it's an absolute disgrace that Cromwell's statue stands in Parliament Square. The guy was a military dictator. He had no interest in establishing democracy. The guy was offered the crown to limit his power and his plan for his succession just happened to be his son! And as for the royal family, please, this is not the middle ages, what are they still doing here?

I thought Mort was very good. I'm reading Colour of Magic at the moment in between some other things and am a little disappointed so far in comparison.

He would be already if he had been played, he should be played regularly from now on, him and bent would be my dream strike partnership they would be lethal, they'd score 20 between them between now and the end of the season Add Ethan Moore to the mix and SGC may just cream himself.

I knex Pires would be a great signing!!

One that tells us a lot about Houlliers priorities this season! It's great to blood some of the youngsters and give some players a rest before the Man Utd game, but only if we get a win with what we have!

Yep, apparently he's asked Liverpool to listen to the Chelsea offer. Liverpool are right up shit creek, saying that, Suarez isnt a bad replacement is he? If he settles? Who know's, he could be brilliant or he could be another Alfonso Alves. The Dtuch league and a World Cup aren't enough to judge him on.

Surely the whole of the above map should be Manchester Utd red?

I got persuaded to sign up for the Bath Half Marathon back in September (race is in March). I hadn't run or done any exercise in months (if not years) before that. I started training straight away, very gently, and honestly couldn't manage a slow run for 5 minutes. I'm now doing 10 mile runs and getting better all the time. So, if you stick to a plan and keep going then yes, you probably can do it. Although, you might want to start with something a bit less ambitious like me and go for a half marathon. If you do go for it I found "couch to 5k" and the running coach on the lucozade website useful.

Why would we be bitter? Since Bent left we've finished 4th and are now going well in the Champion's League - so it's not as if we've especially missed him. Besides, we received 16.5m for selling him. And now we'll get - due to a sell-on clause in his sale contract - 10% of the 7.5m profit made by Sunderland on his 24m price tag to Villa. I think you've overpaid for him, but he's no doubt a good striker and will certainly help a lot in your battle against relegation. However, it looks like Villa will be heading for another massive loss in your next set of accounts because your wage bill continues to be huge and your spending spree of recent years continues. So either Lerner will continue to subsidise you or else the sale of Young is around the corner. I'd guess the latter. Young may well be sold, but it won't be to balance the books, it'll be because he wants to go and won't sign a new contract. Not that that'll be much consolation, but still, you're wrong.

I did it in a van a few years ago. Because we were driving we kept it all in a fairly circular route without any really far flung destinations. It was something like: Paris Bordeaux Pamplona (Bull run) Zaragoza Barcelona Avignon Nice Monaco Genova La Spezia Pisa Milan Verona Innsbruck Munich Music festival in CZ Rep Prague Lepzig Dresden Berlin Hamburg, via some lakes Grongien Amsterdam Antwerp Brussells Brugge Some of those places we spent a few days in, some a few hours. And lots of interesting little towns and villages on the way as well.

TimothyAbraham As tweeted elsewhere. Inside Villa Park and Darren Bent is on #AVFC own channel briefly in a Villa shirt. All of sudden the channel changed.

Maybe they're both once in a generation footballers?

But that's exactly the point, he has shed loads of potential, no doubt, but as the moment it's still potential, a young player who at times has shown what he might be able to do and people are expecting him to turn around our season. I don't see it happening. I've no doubt he's an excellent player with bags of talent, but we're expecting too much to quickly right now.

The film is never a substitute for the book! Look at Lord of the Rings, there were whole chapters of the book left out of the film, it's not the same. I first read the Hobbit in my 20s and think it's an excellent book. Just glimpsing into the imagination of Tolkien makes it worthwhile, the stuff that guy invented in his head is immense.

The Hobbit is brilliant!! As is Lord of the Rings (recently finished re-reading both). But wouldn't recommend The Similarion, The Children of Hurin etc if you struggled with that as they read more like history books and are hard to get involved in due to that.

As good as Ethan Moore?

Simply put... Because he's fookin' awesome, sandwichman!!!! Well I hope so! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Delph will be a big asset for us for years to come, but I think it's crazy to be pining so much hope on his return when he didn't do that much before being injured and we don't know how the injury will effect him. He looked excellent in some of the games he played last season, but often against lesser opposition. He also looked exposed often enough and I don't think he'll change all our fortunes this season.

Because football is a business is exactly why he will worry about his wellbeing. The last thing anyone wants is him to be out for longer. None of us know how Delph is doing other than what we hear - we'll have to just trust the manager/staff's experience and Delph's own feeling. How has he suddenly become one of our "best players"? The guy has played a handful of PL games and had mixed reviews at best. I'm looking forward to having him back, but I can't understand why people are pining so much hope on him for this season.

Coming down quite heavily in Bridgnorth now. Going to be a fuuuuun drive home.
