PWL

In the George W Bush dressed as Danger Mouse pic, the boy in the background looks like he's got his rapey tractorbeam locked onto the blonde.

Got woken up at 1am this morning by an owl calling nearby. Normally I'd be hacked off at being woken up in the middle of the night but owls are tremendous. Alas, was too dark to see it in the trees.

Probably easiest way to get on it is at the leisure centre. From there I'd head north towards Kirkintilloch rather than towards the city as it is a bit less barren!

It's Cumbria. The story is factualy correct.

A cracking place to start would be the Springburn parkrun. Every Saturday morning there is a timed 5k run and its 2 mins from bishopbriggs town centre. You'll get all shapes and sizes from 16 min whippets to 45 min plodders. Great way to test how you're improving as well . ETA the canal is also a good place for a run. It's flat and traffic free.

If we are talking stinkers....my claim to fame is nearly gassing the future First Minister. I had a flat in Shawlands that had a bathroom next to the front door. Not 30 seconds after I'd created a monster that was capable of peeling the paper from the walls, the doorbell went. It was wee Nicola out canvassing in an attempt to beat Mohammed Sarwar in Govan. My wife was horrified as she stood their chatting whilst the rancid smell of death wafted through the door like a green fog. Pwoud, very pwoud .

Perfect conditions on a glorious day on what's one of the best organised halves in the country....it's just that I had a shocker. Was ready to quit at 8k but kept going purely because I wanted the t-shirt. Hobbled in around 2:04 and decided to pull out of Manchester Marathon. Leg is gubbed and only getting worse. :-(

You'll need to change your username to 'Jaxgranda'.

You don't want to appear fascist or a miserable old git. However, surely it's time to bring in laws to ban people from being allowed to breed based on potential names they chose. Loki? Khaleesi? Bonus? Persephone? Hanging by piano wire is too good for them.

Did my final pre Manchester Marathon 20 miler today. Probably the worst run of my entire training schedule but it's done. Head wasn't in it and could not get motivated. Alloa half marathon next week which I'm looking forward to. Probably my fav half marathon. Always really well organised and a good course.

Today was about the worst conditions I have ever run in. Was doing a 16 miler as part of my marathon schedule but was seriously unpleasant with driving winds and horizontal rain. Made the mistake of running on the canal as it's easier to pace yourself normally but it was a battle as it's so exposed.

Easy telling its your first....... (Awrra best though)

U ok huni?

The sort of draw the phrase "meh" was invented for.

Not much point. Given the way the Mexican drug cartels operate, you'll probably find that the severed heads of his family and friends will be left beside his on some dusty roadside in the next few weeks....

Tennents Super is a 'thing' all over Italy. Clearly they don't associate it as the beverage of choice for the local town jake with a dog on a string .

You got the dog to pull the heid off yours then? Interesting party trick and a particularly well trained dog if I may say so.

Curiosity got the better of me and I too had a nosy at her Facebook profile.... Holy feck. You know how they tell you not to watch those ISIS death videos as you can't un-see what you've witnessed? Well her profile is like that....only more traumatic.

Any clues on her profile as to wtf 18MOON RECALL means?

If it's for medicinal purposes then there is nothing to be ashamed of.

She's doing better than most adults.

Snap. My wee one is called Eilidh and we are lucky if we get even half the cards sent to her spelled correctly!

By my reckoning, it's not women who need to worry about this lot....
