The Lisbon Half Marathon on Sunday. Absolutely cracking weekend in Portugal (mostly in Cascais), and my first significant distance run. I'm loving life at the moment...

BMI seems like such utter horse shit. Mine is currently about 25.5 - 26. I've got down to this from 33, which was understandably in the wrong region, but considering how much I swim, cycle and run, I can't see myself getting below the elusive 25 any time soon. There's not a lot of fat on me, so I don't know where I'm supposed to lose approximately one stone from...

Attempting to discredit another person's opinion devalues your own opinion. Monckton is however the public face of CFACT, an organisation that does include scientists and climatologists.

And if we're causing the Arctic ice cap to melt, why is there record coverage of ice at the Antarctic ice cap? And why is this not getting reported in the media? http://www.livescience.com/39720-antarctica-ice-record-highs-2013.html

This 95% figure is based on a show of hands, and nothing at all to do with scientific evidence. I suggest reading this letter by Lord Christopher Monckton of Brenchley which he sent to the IPCC this week:

Page 36 of this thread is why I never take anything I read on here seriously. It summarises VT player threads in 20 tidy posts.

Probably true seeing as Carew came from abroad. Best thing Houllier ever did for us if so. The best thing Houllier ever did for us was sign Darren Bent, saved us in 10/11. In all honesty, was Carew even that good for us? He had a good first season or two, but went off the boil pretty quickly and looked lazy ever since the nightclub incident. I still love him though Carew and Agbonlahor were great together, but MON put a stop to that by forcing Emule Heskey into the equation.

looool

Why is Robert De Niro watching you run a triathlon?? I got exactly the same comment on Facebook.

I'm starting to believe Paul Lambert is the manager Martin O'Neill purported to be throughout his entire career. He has worked wonders with the players that were already here, and has brought in some excellent players at a fraction of the cost of some of the dirge O'Neill signed. The development of Delph is a stunning display of this, but others who were overlooked are standing up and being counted. Weimann, Baker and Guzan would most likely have disappeared without trace without the intervention of Lambert, and now all are established Premier League players. Delph had an excellent game last night, capping it with a goal that will be a massive boost to his morale and performance. One I am incredibly proud of.

Just finished my first triathlon. Absolutely loved it.

I've got some old Villa shirts from 98-00 - can I advertise them on here? I'm not fixing a price on them and I can't be arsed with eBay, but the right offer could see them coming your way.

Always ride in cleats, but shorts were too wet after Sunday's weather. The lady leg was only Cergy to Paris, so it was OK.

I'm the fat word removed in the grey wifebeater. Before anyone asks, the lass in the middle has been mentioned in a previous thread...

Strava **** up royally. We parked up and stayed at Heathrow T5 Holiday Inn the night before the ride, then rode to Slough, got the train to Paddington and rode to Trafalgar Square from there. I stopped Strava while we were on the train, and it was fine when we got to Paddington. However, by the time we got to Trafalgar Square it was on 55km. I've lazily clocked the ride on google maps since getting home, and I can provide the mapmyride maps which we loosely followed to Newhaven, and strictly followed on the other side of the channel. The weather was shit in London, so I haven't even got a start photo. But here's a celebratory success photo...

London to Paris - Check. It's an easy ride over four days. There were a lot of highlights to the trip, and only a couple of low points, one of which was some khant trying to steal all our bikes in Paris. I'd recommend this ride to anyone with a bike. It's not difficult, but it is great fun. Now I have a triathlon to complete on Sunday...

Yet Anal Hutton plays the full match. Sir, you can never be taken seriously ever again.

Time to dig this one up... Friday will see me commence my London to Paris ride. I've done the training and shifted 1/4 of my body weight in about 5 months. It's going to be easy, if I can stay sober enough! Has anyone else done this ride?

I don't know what time he did.....I saw a few of his team but not him. Do it....it was a cracking day out and bar the middle 40miles it was pretty easy. I didn't know anything about 'RideLondon' until saw it was on the telly. I would have been happy to take that ride on...

I reckon this would look quite good in greyscale...

He's a better player than Barton, but surely that title goes to Barton?!

Shit, sold in 20 minutes on Facebook...
