    The official running thread™

    After breaking my PB twice in the last two weeks at my home parkrun, I went off to Bosmont Stadium parkrun on Saturday, and broke my overall parkrun PB, 8 years after the last time. Bosmont is nice and flat, only 57m elevation.

    Is it time, am I calling the insurance in the morning...

    Last time we had a geyser go, we discovered that the previous bunch had rested the geyser on the edge of the drip tray, instead of inside the drip tray. That best the edge flat, of course. And because the roof was low, there was no pressure relief valve fitted. We ended up getting the new one...

    Chinese cars, are they as bad as everyone thinks?

    Knowing the car model might help. For some Fords, there are aftermarket parts that fit into the built-in screen.

    The official running thread™

    After breaking my local parkrun PB a couple of weeks ago (after 8 years), I was within 5 secs of breaking my new PB - except the parkrun time was out 10 secs, so it's now my new PB. (And 24th out of 360 runners, 1st in age category).

    Bad Parking Pictures

    I watched a person today who went nose first into a parking just off the road at the vet, then reversing out and doing a 4 point turn behind the parking bays so she didn't have to reverse into the (quiet) road. (She parked really badly too).

    Yep, they needed it pretty visible. Some of them were yellow and black on top too.

    Defiant TT Completed, the Classic Airframes 1/48 Boulton Paul Defiant T.T. Mk1 target tug. Fascinating aircraft, converted from the Defiant turret-fighter to tow targets for fighter pilot training.

    Things that irritate you - Part 4

    You need to go to every single shop. I have memories of 6+ shops to find pomegranate seeds for Christmas lunch.

    Take a look online for 3D-printable ones - add "stl" for your search, that may pick up a few.
