@itsafrogslife chief parkrunt Graham who only thinks the 1% of elites deserve fairness & not the rest of us women doesn’t like the term parkrunt when it describes him. Nevertheless he is completely happy to call women terfrunts! Eh 🤔 Please 🙏 make this make sense 😵‍💫

@scoutoot @boooooo50891527 @itsafrogslife @HallisseyC @tufftybluey @jamesdavis6939 Apparently when Graham calls people runts, that's absolutely fine!🤔😂

Congratulations on a great performance at parkrun last week @jamesdavis6939! Not only a super speedy time, but I see you also managed to get in a bit of volunteering, too. Fabulous parkrun spirit on display! 💪

@sharrond62 They should consider the French solution. It’s called the ‘hands down the pants’ test. Easy to administer and generally very accurate.

Labour’s trans guidance ‘poses danger to women’ fudge by Bridget Philipson as expected, it’s why it took 9 months to tweak what she was given last September! Half a job… capitulating again to activists, no surprise there! telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@Chablislodge @NickAnt12345 A neighbor used to smoke those nasty things when we lived in Normandy circa mid 90’s. No filters . Thought they be gone by now

I'm afraid I just don't know anyone with a healthy relationship with alcohol. Everyone I know who drinks can't even conceive of a social event without it, and can't even go to the theatre without a drink in the intermission. Whenever I go back to my hometown to look in on old mates, all they do week in week out, is piss their money away on booze, look twenty years older than they actually are, and have the health complications of an elderly pensioner. Meanwhile ALL the Prosecco mums in the district are on SSRIs with failing marriages. They will all go into town, wax a hundred quid on a Saturday night and eat takeaway food in the gutter that I wouldn't give to a dog, and will have nothing to show for it (not even memories because they can't remember anything). They then spend the rest of the week tired and grouchy (shrieking at their kids) while they recover, only to do it all again the following week because there's nothing else going on in their miserable lives. A healthy relationship with alcohol is basically someone who doesn't really drink, who doesn't even notice if they go a year without - where alcohol is limited to notable social events with a meal. That doesn't describe most drinkers. For some fucked up reason, we made getting paralytic a cornerstone of our social culture, and very few people actually enjoy it even if they say they do. They just don't have the strength of character to say "fuck this" and leave their boozehound mates to their boring stupor.

@FUDdaily Your inability to have a healthy relationship with alcohol is something you’re now projecting as dim cultural philosophy. Everyone’s different, some people can drink alcohol and still be productive, happy and healthy. You sound like you’re incredibly ignorant.

@Sansoucihomme @NickAnt12345 I don’t know. I’ve never tried a cigarette. But it’s the most unlikely stick i could imagine the posh boy smoking 😂💪😂

We only drink Chablis when there’s an ‘I’ in the day. Lundi Mardi Mercredi Jeudi Vendredi Samedi And then God, in her invite wisdom, slotted an ‘I’ into Dimanche. YAY!!!!!

@cynthia_hayes And you’ve now said goodbye to the joy of finding that unexpected bottle.

Exactly! I now have an inventory of all my wine (or most of it - I pulled a bottle the other day and it wasn’t entered😬) and I have separated it so it makes logical sense to me so I pretty much know where everything is. Generally🙃
David Marra@DavidMarra

@cynthia_hayes I would simply because you can put more wine in. For me capacity is more important than accessibility

@AdamPaxton180 I walked past the bar in the square in Chablis Saturday lunchtime. My neighbour Benoit Droin was enjoying a liquid lunch with a friend. In full cycling gear. He’s a talented cyclist. I asked him what the fuck he was doing cycling in this heat. ‘I’m not. But don’t tell the wife.’

What makes people think “it’s 30 degrees outside… you know what? I’m going to put on some Lycra and go cycling” ? Can’t get my head around it 🤦🏼‍♂️

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”

So the Enhanced Games are over & remarkably unremarkable. 1 world record, helped by banned suits. Meanwhile most performances barely touched existing marks. What does this tell us? Have we overestimated the impact of PED or were these not truly world class athletes to begin with?
