  1. Doesn't really help the club though Alex? They have just shifted their debt from you to a credit card by the sounds of things!
  2. Presumably Livi owe Wilson Field a sum of money somewhere between £1 and £4999 in that case, and have defaulted on it repeatedly for it to get this far?
  3. Dunno if it is mentioned in this thread, but Livi were due in court today for a small claims matter involving insolvency specialists Wilson Field - see http://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/rolls/sheriff...081125.htm#SMCL Anyone know what this was about?
  4. When he missed those eight break points in a game I just had to give up and put the TV off - it was just too much for me! I got up half an hour later to go and get a glass of water, to find my dad sitting with the TV on. Walked in just in time for Murray to be at match point. Amazing stuff.
  5. About to buy some iPod stuff - can anyone point me towards the cheapest place to get the following online: Nike+ sports kit (I think this is pretty much £20 everywhere) iPod Nano armband (tons of different ones to choose from - any recommendations?) Trainer pouch/pocket thing (again, tons to choose from) Cheers, Jamie
  6. I've been totally off running for the last month, mainly due to a house move that has taken up all my time. Been doing a lot of swimming though. Going to try a run tomorrow night - dread to think how crap I will be!
  7. Been off it for a week or so mainly because I've been working constantly. Amazing how just a week off makes it more difficult in your mind to get back out to it. Forced myself on Monday and had a nice easy two mile run. Then played football last night which was great - feel so much fitter.
  8. That's a 4.30 mile which is pretty exceptional!
  9. Trying to up my mileage now - been doing several 2-3 mile runs every week and starting to find them easy, so trying to build up. Went for a 40 minute run yesterday which was around four miles. Managed it despite fairly well, although definitely need to invest in an iPod to get some music while I run! I think a 10k in August is a distinct possibility.
  10. I was under the impression that it started at the North Inch and went round both it and the South Inch, plus a little bit more. South Inch + North Inch alone without any extra is between 6 and 7 km anyawy!
  11. I quite fancy the Perth 10k in August, simply because I think I'll just about be at that level by then. Here's hoping!
  12. I'm thinking about a 10k later in the year. Back when I started I never dreamed I could do a 5k, but here i am a couple of months later doing 5ks two or three times a week in little over half an hour!
  13. Good work all the marathon runners. Give it a couple of years and maybe I'll join you! Just back in from a short run there. 4K in something between 22 and 24 minutes, which for me is a slight improvement in speed. I'm not exactly sure on the time because I've lost my stopwatch and am simply looking at a clock without a hand pointer before I go out and when I get in, which isn't particularly accurate. Tonight was also the first time I've managed to run that kind of distance without having to stop at all. I am seeing a definite improvement in my fitness with even the small amount of running I am doing. One of my routes takes me past my gym, so I sometimes stop there for some weights and to weigh myself - and have lost half a stone in the last 2 weeks, taking me below a certain weight I haven't been below since I was 17. And its all down to this thread Who would have though P&B could help anyone!
  14. I'm starting to push the miles slightly more. Comfortable now doing between 3 and 3 1/2 miles in about half an hour. Going to start increasing my times/distances on these runs, and also add in some shorter but faster runs.
  15. I am going to start cranking up the miles soon I think. Runner's World programme has been fantastic!
  16. I quite like the idea of it simply because it gives me a great excuse to go out and buy an iPod! Plus, as long as it was accurate within say 100 yards over 5k I'd be quite happy.
  17. To update my progress on the Runner's World beginner programme thing. Moved up to the 12 min run 1 min walk x 3. Got to 12 minutes and felt like keeping on going, so instead did the next step up - 15 min run, 1 min rest, 15 min run. Completed somewhere between 4.5 and 5km in the 30 mins, and only really started to feel tired right at the end. Well pleased with how I am doing. On the Nike+ stuff - I am contemplating buying it soon. So how accurate is it given the above post?
  18. Still doing the runner's world training thing. Did the 8 mins run/2 mins walk repeat x3 on Friday and it was easy. Got to the end wondering if I was meant to keep going. 12 mins running/2 walking x3 next, hopefully a nice step up.
  19. Still doing the Runners World programme thing. Up to the third week now and actually finding it fairly easy. Invested in a proper pair of running shoes because I'd been having trouble with my calf muscles and they made an incredible difference just by cushioning the blow to my heel. Feeling pretty gooda bout it all.
  20. I was fine for my first two runs last week but I was struggling for the third because my calfs were burning. Will have to make the woman give them a good massage to sort it all out
  21. My calf muscles are buggered. No matter how much stretching I do before/after/during a run they hurt like a b*****d.
  22. Celtic last night. Don't know why I chose them - I'm sure Rangers were better odds and I fancied them to win more than I did Celtic.
  23. Unless she was given some kind of medical assistance to fall asleep...
  24. What if it all went tits up early on, they realised what they had done and spent the intervening period disposing of the body? Then once all was gone and tidied up then they raised the alarm? Maybe unfeasible, but not as barmy as some of the theories going around. My personal view is that Kate did it and Gerry is either covering up for her or thinks she is innocent.
