I'm chugging along at about the 8k mark, and starting to feel tired. My legs are telling me to slow down, and my brain is listening. Suddenly, I notice the most beautifully formed derriere ahead of me, so I speed up a little, and pull up alongside to see if she's more than a "1664". And I recognise supermodel Nell McAndrew (I knew she was a keen runner). I look at her, she looks at me, and I start to feel like a stalker, so I decide to run ahead. She accelerates and catches up. I look. She looks. I accelerate. She accelerates. By now, I've forgotten I'm tired, and we're properly racing - all the way to the line, which I cross just ahead of her - with a new P.B. We had a chat about our dingdong battle, and agreed it gave us both better times than we were expecting. My mates at the running club later said I was the only bloke that would run away from her! That's a great story, but I can't enjoy it fully because I'm jealous of your time. Now you're going to tell me you've got a better time since..?

I was hoping to get a sub-40 at some point, but as VillaMarv suggests, no more performance-enhancing women were available. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flush broke on one of our bogs at work last week. Didn't stop about 5 people (estimate) compounding an already messy situation by adding 'toppings' to the mess left in the pan. It resembled a chocolate fudge cake topped with oxtail soup. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Went into a bank today and had fantastic service. Too often banks get a bad rap for stuff done at a high level but the majority of 'boots on the ground' in branches just want to do a good job.

They closed both Erdington Natwest branches and Sutton has no handy parking . I've gone back to using the gaps in the back of the settee like in the 80's.
