It wasn't scary though. And neither was the original. We only remember IT as this incredibly creepy scary clown because we were children. I re-watched it recently, and honestly it was considerably less scary than the latest incarnation.
As for there only being one Pennywise. I honestly think Scarsgard piped him. That thing where his eye would deviate - to suggest it's false face - wasn't a special effect. He was actually doing it.

We had a motivational speaker in telling us about him running 7 Ironmans in 7 days. I couldn't help thinking all he'd done is taken years off his life.Last edited by Denny Crane; 25-09-17, 12:52.

Actually really don’t get the whole ultra endurance area, it’s bad for your health ,prob your joints too and makes you look like an inmate of a Siberian hard labor camp. Know some lads mad into Ironman who are always injured/sick and take perverse pride in training through it which fucks you up more.you gotta have some demons
Would be far more impressed at a lad getting into running and pushing well under 20 mins in a 5k/40 in a 10k than some guy who isn’t that fit trundling along for a couple 100k pissing on himself and shitting on the side of the road as he goesLast edited by Guest; 25-09-17, 12:08.

The only thing I got from it is that the motivational speaker circuit must be an easy game.

You're all focussing on the effects running has on your physical body. People run for the immensely positive effect it has on their mental health.
I was out for a couple of pints on Sat night after running the half and I genuinely felt like I was after taking cocaine. I'm pretty much always in a positive mood.
Yes you get injured, and risk long term cartilidge damage, but I've never been fitter in my life physically either, toned muscle definition in my legs, and upper body, even have a six pack
Every single thing in life has some sort of negative effect, it's about ratios though. The positives of running far far outweigh any negatives.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I love the short stuff too much. Gonna train for 5 and 10k races from Dec to June or July every year then switch to marathon from July to October and race Dublin.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

A decent 5km time is all I want from cardio. But to get anywhere near 16mins you have to look a malnourished. id like to Beas fast as I can without giving up strength

Get what you are saying re the buzz but you can get that without going anywhere near the self harm exertion some get into. Honestly think there’s an element of guys not liking not being competitive at 5k or 10k and going longer and longer to put themselves above people “only” running 10k.

Stick it in the running thread if you'd prefer
SPOILERpicture a time before the Celtic tiger , before the committments, before Demspseys den
dark days when lolpool were simply Liverpool . Willie lived in drimnagh with da mudder and siblings. Dick Hooper and Jerry Kiernan were household names. I was a sports addict, (drimnagh have many different addicts now). The ol running was a national craze
1st Maratthon, not a lot of training as I was superman (I thought) and decided a few runs to Joe Wongs and back every day would suuffice. It didn't and from Raheny home I walk jogged the last 6 miles home in the time it took me to run the previous 20.
2nd one. I decided too late and ran a poor time but ran it all at least
3rd one. I decided to train but felt shit the whole race and nearly dropped out (short version) Soniaitis ie the dodgy belly , effected me.
4th one. TRAINING (same as last year) sorry to disappoint we just went running nothing fancy
3 times a week from Rafters road to Joe Wongs, twice a week, to Newlands cross and back. Sometimes extend it to Rathcoole. kept that up until 2 month beforehand,
then some more of the Rathcoole run and less of the Newllands,
Never ran more that 16ish miles but a really fast pace, and always picked it up the last 1/2 mile. Loved that , flying down the long mile road like a real runner.
closer to the big run we (my running buddies) kept the runs small and , off to the manshion house for our numbers and goodie ags the night before. This 4th one I felt alive and excited and was up near the front of the multitude. 4 of us started together, me in my spina bifida vest (raised 90 quid..hero) . Great hearing people shouting come on spina bifida lads, the ol wans at Finglas half way mark singing run rabbit run rabbit run run run. I was flying. Struggled near howth even though the wind was behind me , coming around and near the green I was went for it as I knew my family were there to cheer on the skinny (was then) shaggy son home. In the middle of all those thick thighed me I floated to the line and was stunned and delight to break the time target.
Nothing here to learn, except my 10k times got slower after doing them.
Would love to take it up just for one more year but zero time these days.

Thats hard to believe... they have all watched Dr Strangelove haven't they? Maybe they have very strong back channels and are sure Pyongyang won't fire first.
If Trump has somehow maneuvered himself back into power the chances of an accidental war are scarily high.Turning millions into thousands

I’d say trump would love to let a thermonuclear missile rip,he probably watches the vids on YouTube on loop (like me)
If it wasn’t for all the people who would die it would be pretty cool to see what a 1-2 megaton bomb would do to a modern high rise city.

Irish law guarantees you can return goods for up to six years after purchase if they develop a fault. Thats the point I was getting at with Lazare the other week when he was saying his phone is out of warranty and he had to buy a new one (his phone definitely wasn't that old!). Was in the middle of something at the time so couldn't look up the
legislation.
People who sell you these electronics try to cover that obligation up by offering you their own warranty, but that doesn't remove your statutory warranty rights which can never be removed.
E.g. here's the Apple Ireland page explaining that. And here's the EU page showing that is the law in Ireland.
I think almost no-one knows this though.
So these people trying to include in their package that there's a two year warranty is attempting to deceive you, because you are already covered by a six-year warranty by law.Her sky-ness
