One random thing I think Americans do to piss us off is butcher the pronunciation of “Shire” in our place names while only ever saying it correctly in their state of New Hampshire. A low stakes conspiracy.
At least 9 males ran in the Female category in UK parkrun on Sat 23 May. Two got top in age category. One man got 1st Female. In 2nd place was a girl and in 3rd place was a little girl. These two girls had 1st and 2nd stolen from them by a man, all facilitated by parkrun….
So Oxford UK is to become a 15 minute city in August. Do people realise what a 15 minue City is?????? Do you realise they need a pass to leave it, even to go to work???? That they are fined if they go over the pass limit. They must have facial recognition cameras everywhere!!!!! Anyone on here from Oxford?????
Katie Price might be a lot of things, but a bad mum she isn't. Dwight Yorke is a cunt for abandoning his poor disabled son.
Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”
tipping culture is getting ridiculous
For anyone who is still uncertain about the competitive nature of parkrun, @itsafrogslife kindly provided this great summary from Grok yesterday. Most people know that parkrun classes itself as non-competitive, but many of its key components do create a competitive environment.
If someone on £75k/year with a 41 hour week with 1 hour guaranteed overtime restructured the contract to earn minimum wage (age 21+ at £12.21/hour) for the first 40 hours which is £25,396.80 and the remaining £49,603.20 is overtime this would reduce their tax by about £17,000!
