Marathon training is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Also, the partnership between Electric Motion and Yamaha Motor Japan that was announced a year ago is showing off their first concept, the YE-01 Racing. Don't know specs as yet, but I'm sure the design will have dirt-bike folks seriously interested.

One of Rachel Reeves' minions was on the news saying we all had to "do our bit" and pay more in taxes

No minion, we don't. We've been "doing our bit" for the past 18 years via austerity and yet the rich have been getting richer whilst we get poorer

Tax wealth, NOT work

Three weeks or so before her budget, she is offering an explanation of why it is going to be truly so terrible for everyone in the UK except the City of London. She looked frightened; she acted frightened; and she will have panicked everyone but the City of London.

Reeves says

we're in for no growth.

We're in for austerity.

We're in for continuing child poverty.

But we're also going to have a happy City of London, and all of that simply lays the path for Farage

Do not know wtaf happened there.
Pissed off with being booted from Muay Thai last night, decided to do a 20 mile run.
Had nothing. Thought I'd warm up after the first mile and be ok. Nope. Ground to a halt at 1½ miles.
Walked half a mile, then shuffled home at 9.43.
Totally don't understand.
