I sort of get Gavin's point here in relation to 'buying' vs 'listening'.

Back in the day if you went to a record store and bought a new single it counted the same on the charts whether you took the record home and played it once, or a hundred times over.

So we can't go in the audience anymore but Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby can? Shocker.

I saw on Strava that Matthew Tassier did the Toronto marathon recently. I'm doing Leeds marathon on 28th May next year.

Callum Todd

Just done the calculations and apparently there's only about 130 million feet (or 40,000km) to go round the Earth (circumference), so frankly it's amazing that the population ever exceeded 70 million (on an assumed average of 1.9 feet per person).

Callum Todd

Think it's starting in the next couple of months but demand was so high he booked a load of new dates going right into 2025. Madness

Superb James! Thanks very much for the publicity on one of the biggest radio shows in the country!! Hope your train journey turns out okay.

Only one round to go in the 2020-2022 tournament so it's between Callum Todd and Thomas Carey. Or perhaps we could go full FOCAL and say that the winner is the one who sets the fastest time at Milton Keynes out of the top 8 (of those who actually run in Milton Keynes)! I think that would be going a...

Callum Todd

Good luck to everyone filming this week, and don't forget to have fun. I have very fond memories of the last CoC as one of the best times I've had in this community so hope this CoC is just as enjoyable for everyone involved. Be excellent to one another!

Letters means letters. The Goatdown event has always been a highly experimental thing and has never shied away from that. Given the massive point swings what can and surely will happen with 9 picks in Goatdown, I don't think ditching Numbers is at all a big deal. If anyone loses narrowly at Goatdown...

Callum Todd

So this vote is close but decisive enough for me, given the success of ZoomDown's numberless Goat specials and the fact that we're experimenting with something new here anyway. No numbers it is.

Callum Todd

After today's event in Braintree, Tim Hebbes and Thomas Cappleman have now secured a place in the top 8. Jack Hurst is confirmed as 9th place. As Eddy Byrne has told me he will not be attending the Finals, Jack will therefore qualify for the finals. If T-Cap and Jack sign-up to MK, they will join Br...

Best of luck Marc, just enjoy it! It's a great experience.

Half As Good As You is probably my favourite. Another Love is good too.

He's very good.

Callum Todd

True Gavin, although they're not going there this season. Worth noting that the stadium build push that killed thousands of workers is a specific reason not to follow this World Cup that might not apply to other events such as the Qatar GP (so far as I understand that took place last year at the Los...

Callum Todd

Yeah to be clear, the first disgrace here (relevant to the Foreign Secretary's comments) is Qatar and its contemptible ethics, including its horrible homophobia. The second disgrace is FIFA's appalling decision to host a World Cup there. Not just because of their homophobia. The fact that Qatar is n...

Callum Todd

Also if that happened there would be far fewer replies so would be easier to read them all anyway. Good idea. Probably one for the things that will never happen thread though

Callum Todd

this is absolutely fucking disgraceful.

Callum Todd

Very good

Callum Todd

As far as I know the Edinburgh parkrunners last weekend were:

Oriam - Thomas Carey, Callum Todd, Fiona Titcombe
Hollyrood - Colin Peet

Anyone else who did one speak now or miss out on your precious Gavin points!

Callum Todd

If the event wasn't worth FOCAL points I'd say celebrate all things goat and do away with numbers. But numbers are still part of the game, it's not my fault that Goat never got its own numbers variant (Always thought revealing the large numbers first then allowing the picker to choose the final sma...

This isn't the event post or announcement but spoilerz: the Goatdown event initially planned for 2020 will finally go ahead in April of next year. Most of the details of how the gameplay would work were ironed in the suprisingly consensus-finding surveys linked to in the above-linked thread. One thi...

Callum Todd

Yeah I felt a bit cheeky posting my dirty road running gossip in this track and field thread but it reminded me of the sorts of discussions you athletics fans have tended to have before. 150m is a pretty big error for such a major race! I felt robbed when Strava called the Morley 10k 10m short.

Callum Todd

This is pretty shit

Callum Todd

Another thing to bear in mind is that the first 6 games were all 9Rs, whereas the final Bristol style game was a 14R. If you wanted to make the final game affect the whole table, I think it's only fair to keep it the same format as all the other games, otherwise it carries significantly greater wei...

Callum Todd

As a question for anyone that was there to help recappers, since the majority of R14 was missing does anyone know if there was any answer from either guy? Both declared 720. Alan made a mistake. Conor did (4+1)*the rest That’s Round 13…, 14R remember…😛 On 29 seconds, Alan did a joke guess of HALALC...

Callum Todd

What does this mean for the final finishing positions please? Need to update the FOCAL standings but not sure what people's final finishing position is based on this. In the final round, if you beat the person above you, you go above them. So Callum, Zubair, Natalie, Stewart, Steven and Colin all l...

Marc you are truly outstanding at coming up with thread titles

Callum Todd

lovely stuff Fiona, congratulations on your apto performances and on your carefree mindset evolution. Thanks for sharing

Callum Todd

I'm happy to do Oriam. Will run there from my accomodation (near venue) and make use of the changing facilities afterwards. Do you have a plan for getting to the venue from there after Fiona? Happy to share a taxi with you if buses aren't an option.

To strike a middle ground, as a young single heterosexual man in the age of MeToo, I have noticed over the past decade my understanding of women's experience when interacting with men has evolved. It's hard to be sure whether that's because of public narrative or just generally growing up and becomi...

I'm doing Linford Wood as I need to be back at the venue asap. Any co:parkrunners on a tight schedule can use my hotel room shower (at Novotel) if that helps.

But yeah, it always irked me at school that we were expected to play rugby and head the ball in football. Surely engaging in such risky activities should be a choice, not a compulsory part of education. Anyway, I basically played ball avoiding for the most part. Fuck that shit. This is why PE lesso...

I've never really got the taboo on spoilers in this community. If you're waiting to watch Countdown and don't want to know what happened, maybe don't go to read a Countdown forum in the interim?

By the way, linking to a video by someone doesn't mean I endorse their views, but someone showed me this by Graham Linehan the other day about Stewart Lee. It was quite amusing/interesting. Absolutely bizarre. Sounds like he has a weird obsession with Stewart Lee. Totally unhinged in that video.

Is this actually some sort of aversion towards comedy specifically during 'the period of national mourning' or is it just that the extra broadcasts (funeral, tributes, 'lying in state, etc.) have squeezed the schedules so that lots of shows have to be postponed?
