Dennis getting back on the front - twice - after Hindley attacked was funny. Especially when he gave him a big cheeseating grin the second time. Another great stage, Dennis has been superb for Ineos but you can't take anything away from Tao, looks like a surprise Grand Tour win. After all the overb...

Haven't been online much recently. Did the Goggins Challenge a couple of weekends ago. This is basically Run 4 miles every 4 hours for 48 hours. It sounds like a relatively easy challenge but the accumulated fatigue and repeat cycle of interrupted recovery make it almost as hard (but in a different ...

Kind of like weightlifting. Just a push. As someone already mentioned - the level of fitness Jenson Button had enabled him to compete triathlon IRONMAN world champion circuit few times during his spare time (getting few podiums during the "career") This is not unusual. Chrissie Wellington came out ...

Do you really have no idea how physical it is. It exerts great physical pressure on the body, the driver does not actually do anything very physical. Kind of like weightlifting. Just a push.

TikTok users are being urged to delete the app immediately, after someone reverse engineered the platform and found it’s allegedly stealing users’ personal data. The blockbuster Chinese app, popular among teens for uploading and sharing short videos, is nothing more than “a data collection service ...

I thought Chinese and Indian kids did better here because their parents push them harder, telling them that they have to work twice as hard as white kids in order to overcome systemic racism? All those lazy, conceited white, lower class families who don't spend time encouraging their kids to study ...

Does anyone think they have been dealt a worse hand because they are white and working class?

bit off the wall compared to requested subject matter but Ironwar and Slaying the badger are the best sports books I have read.

Washington and Jefferson are memorable for reasons other than having slaves. The statue of the guy pulled down in Bristol was a noted philanthropist and that's why he deserved it. Call me too liberal but selling hundreds of thousands of people into slavery doesn't seem a very philanthropic act to m...

Let me just say that seeing the statue of the vile Colston dumped into the Avon was sweet. The slave trade saw some 12m. black Africans shipped to the Caribbean and the USA, nearly 2m. of whom died during transportation. Bristol's passivity and inaction in permitting such a symbol to enjoy prominen...

Its the shittest idea in the history of sport and based on a false premise. The whole f**king point of a red card is to be a massive hindrance to the team infringing. f**king arse clowns always messing with the game in the wrong areas. More red cards and zero tolerance would be the better way to imp...

Witcher3 update. I went downstairs to install it and found RDR 2 in the PlayStation. Played that instead. Witcher3 (still safely in cellophane wrapper) has been returned to the shelf for another day. Started playing Red Dead Redemption 2 recently. It's a terrible game. The landscape and story are a...

The great thing about Instagram is (apart from a few ads) YOU choose what/who you see. If you aren't interested in 'influencers' then don't follow them FFS. Anyway if enough people choose to follow them in such a way that they get paid then why is that a problem anyway? They are clearly creating som...

Sounds like Gengey is having a busy quarantine. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/52449455 Is he only complaining about the way clubs have gone about reducing their salaries, or is it a 'how dare they reduce us players salary'?

I haven't been paying all that much attention to case trends here in the last couple of weeks. Can anyone remind me when the provisional end of lockdown is supposed to be?

Yeah, lots of Hoka fans around here, but I can’t see myself wearing yokes like that until they have actual hover technology built in. Hokas are an odd shape.

Most fast food and take-away places in the UK are open with some notable exceptions - McDs, KFC, Burgerking although some of those are now re-opening so things like pizza, curry, fish and chips are still available and doing quite well by all accounts so not missing that fix.

It was a pretty comprehensive win in the final. It really was. Looking back we dominated so much of the game. Which still baffles me when you consider what England did to New Zealand the previous week. But that's classic sport, don't know why it baffles you? England played a game against us, like w...

I imagine the FF7 remake is great if you haven't played the original and you have a favourite flavour of crayon. That's a shame, was looking forward to it.

Would the guys who think it's not ban worthy have been ok with somebody saying "good riddance" when Jo Cox got shot?

For what its worth, my first reaction to hearing Boris had caught it initially was one of mirth (because of his originally lax attitude - to be fair to him I think he/the UK government got on the right horse pretty quickly afterwards). The vitriol that USW showed was definitely over the top and a l...
