No, but i'm thinking of entering a 1 mile race in june.
there was nothing shorter availible

With all the various fitness crazes going on there has to be a market for shorter races,adult decathlons or something,I'd be on for it.

No. I actually really like spurs but you would want to be some prick not be funking for Leicester to win the damn thing now.

[mdoug]

I think Spurs will win their 4 remaining games for 80 points and superior goal difference.
Leicester are on 76 and are away to Man Utd, home to Everton, away to Chelsea. Can see them getting a win at home to Everton, meaning they need 2 points from those 2 away games.

I think Spurs are value at 4/1.

At least hotspur only has himself to blame for the curse

[Solskjaer]

Enhance my diddy Paddy Power.

I can't believe Spurs didn't beat WBA. I would have bet my head on it.

What a time to be alive!! And for Spurs to be crushed by a typical gritty Pulisball performance too.

Leicester to win the title at Old Trafford

Will get to lift it at home too

[pokerhand]

Kane to score 2 or more enhanced from 5/2 to 7/2 PP

Just curious given your fondness for the aul' enhanced odds, are you up or down on these over the past season? Just wondering if it's clever marketing ploy by PP that's a winner or loser on the actual performance of the enhanced maket?

[dobby]

What a story!

On another note. Could it change the way PL football is played? Will clubs and coaches be looking at Leicester and adopt a similar high intensity, defend well, attack quick tactic. You can see Klopp already putting his stamp on Liverpool with that kinda style. Could be great for the league.

It's been done many times before. Won't work in Europe when deep into a tourney.

Apparently that "drug" was just some kinda fat burning pill. If that's all it was its harsh on him to have it hanging over him at this stage of the season.

Nobody gives a shite about how FF are funded and who really gets wealthy from crime when you can flog newspapers making up stories about penguins and vipers

[Solskjaer]

Even though most people want Leicester to win the PL I have to say I'd prefer Spurs to win it. (however unlikely) Simple reason, as an Irish fan of the PL/Div1 growing up most of the people I know where Chelsea/Pool/United/Spurs/Arsenal fans The banter was always good craic even though the real rivalry was with the all conquering pool teams/fans of the 70s and 80s (jayz I hated them, they were so good) . So thinking of all those long suffering Drimnagh Spurs fans and what it would mean to them I'd favour a Spurs title. A great story if the foxes win it but n a local level it means little to me. So here's hoping

Liverpool are in the EL semis after playing like that

Maybe not the best defensive side but playing with high intensity and attacking well.

In the 12 games Liverpool have played in the EL this season, they have scored more than once in a game only twice this season. At home to Dortmund (4-3) and home to Sion (2-1).

Looking to pick up an Android box for heading to Malta. What should i be looking out for? Would like to have the usual addons that i can watch sport, some films, TV shows and possibly live UK TV?

May want a second one to keep the kids entertained with Netlix etc.

Any of these deals seem reasonable?

With all the various fitness crazes going on there has to be a market for shorter races,adult decathlons or something,I'd be on for it.

This one is a 1-mile "city dash" for a cancer charity. Easy to get participants that way.
The fitness needed for completion is quite low, so all the people who like to appear fit and healthy but despise the actually effort needed are on board.
If you allow people to push prams/h buggies, then the the yummy mummy contingency are in. And with a stagger start based on estimated time, you should get the elites interested.

I was looking for a 5-10km race. Seen this a figured, I wonder what my mile time would be. I've no idea what to aim for tbh.

5 mins if you run it. You will spend longer changing

A 5min mile sounds a like an exceptional tbh.

Anybody here with a history in athletics?
a quick google turned up thi;

10 out of 60 sub 6 min mile
1 out of 60 sub 5 min mile

I'd assume the field was made of of people into the aul running

[mdoug]

Look at stuff like parkrun, some normal plebs running 5k so you'll get an estimate. Not hard to get a mile time from it.

Top 10% is about 20:40

Found this calculator to convert between distances. Suggests that 6min mile is equal to a 20:30 5km

[FeetMagic]

I was training mile times for the craic a couple months ago Mellor. Think my best was 5:45 or so and I run a 20-21 min 5k. It's more challenging than it sounds but a nice distance!

Yeah I think the target has to be sub-6 mins, 5:40 at a push.
Have to also allow for people who want to be in the first group but not able to run causing carnage.

May have been posted, good Tiger Woods article.

http://espn.go.com/espn/feature/stor...?ex_cid=espntw

...Read this in work yesterday, quite detailed buy probably the most enjoyable article I've read in a long time , Thanks Honda...Tiger Woods really is a specimen like no other, always been obsessed with the way his life has transformed.... Oh, if anyone has anymore articles like this about others that they'd recommend, I'm bored shiteless until 14:00 each day for the last two weeks of every month, I need some assistance in staying awake...

They beat United 2-0 at Anfield. It's gonna be a slow process there but you can definitely see what Klopp is bringing and they will be a different animal next season.

Looked at the Amazon Fire before, we have all smart TV's as well that have wifi built into them if that makes any difference. Tony will be setting something up prob. Is there a lot to setting up the Pi for what we want? we just want to be able to watch sky channels like we currently do.

The Nvidia looks not too bad...

Also we have the chromecast as well.

The ruby wasn't as strong as before and I think she has lost faith. I think she is thinking of making a sacrafice of herself to the Lord of Light and raise Jon Snow and she goes instead. She sees herself and sees how old she really is. This young man died and she thought he was the one to get them through the long night.

Another thing, how the fk did Tristayne get to where he was? He left with Jamie and Marcella to go to Kings Landing I am sure? Not sure why they killed off the whole Martell family, was a bit shite lol

His actually probably makes more sense.

SPOILER

if taken with the fact she comes in to the room with John Snow's body. I actually thought she was going to try and revive him. So in that context, the fact she goes back to her room, and changes form seems to show her as old and tired, and maybe not strong enough to revive him?

Good spot on the ruby. It seemed dulled.

As for the other thing, I agree completely. The entire Dorne plotline has been complete shit. It's not great in the books but it's not trash either.

http://www.parkrun.ie/stannes/results/latestresults/

Most people's pace slows after 2 - 2.5k so it wouldn't be a simple conversion. Maybe convert then deduct 8%ish.

[Mellor]

Yeah it's interesting. I think my book obsessiveness is colouring my interpretation of the show. We are all watchers now so it could go either way.

I'm a complete book obsessive tbh. Was late starting last season, and stopped halfway waiting to finish ADWD. Took a while to find ADWD: Part 2, so I've been re-reading from the start.

I should really be careful with spoilers when the show is running ahead.

[RichieM]

SPOILER

Everyone thinks she's this super powerful witch, but really she's just an old lady who knows a few tricks.

SPOILER

I took it that all her magic takes a toll and she is wearing out and getting weaker. That is why she thought she was wrong and cant see the visions clearly or so she thinks - pretty sure John Snow will be back at some stage, tagareyan blood presumably means that he has a part to play in the final zombie v dragon round up.

I am guessing she cant bring people back from the dead as happens with the other priest guy a few seasons back or is just to weak to do it\will die if she does it. I think she is also pretty gutted that she threw her lot in with Stanis and wore herself out on pretty pointless infighting for a crown before finding the guy she wanted in John Snow
