I think we’ll still get pumped but it’s good to see some attacking intent (and moving away from constant box kicks)

I think it’s the kit they used in their first fixture 120 years ago

Game on! #FravEng

It was flagged beforehand it would be a problem… but they just went ahead 🤷🏼‍♂️

I did learn though that Ireland vs Wales aren’t allowed to play in Green & Red as colourblind people can’t tell the difference

Apart from I can’t tell who is who 🤓

This could be a classic

Had to do this weekend’s #longrun this morning, and of course there was a storm.

Being positive, good chance to test my cold weather kit. Gloves were a complete fail. Very cold the whole way, windy with snow & sleet. Cut a bit short as hands were 🧊

Excellent 🤙🏼

The Law of Simon Jenkins at work again

Let’s play a game.

Your pet gets chosen to be immortalised on a banknote.

Which picture are you submitting?

Making a complete tit of yourself here, Ed.

My running economy must be incredible based on these new scientific findings 😂

Is part of it because the government are reticent to talk about the good things they’re doing for fear of being called ‘woke’ & turning off their mythical Hero Voter?

I’m think about two-child cap, minimum wage rise, climate etc. Their preference is to shout about being cruel to immigrants.

It’s been quite the day for Mr Barton.

He wasn’t generalising, in fact he was being incredibly specific about the residents of one cul-de-sac

Still in fairly regular contact with ten people in the picture. Connected but not in touch with about 4 more. Not bad after 33 years!

Uni picture from ‘93. Good times!

Yeah the underfoot conditions in those pictures looked horrible. Proper porridge, really saps the energy

It is! I think he’s competing with me to see who can get the most scars. At his current trajectory at 9 years old he’s clearly going to win 😬

Nice. How was it mountain man? I did 30km / 1,100m vert today, longest run this year. My legs are quietly unhappy with me.

Thanks - I think he’s hoping for a good scar 😂

Thanks - he’s on the mend already & took everything in his stride, no dramas at all. He’s pretty used to getting into scrapes 🤕

It will make a good story in the playground tomorrow!

Busy day - my son got hit in the face with a shovel during avalanche training with his snowboard group. Snowmobile ride, 🚑 & some glue later… I think he’s going to have a scar there.

Long run (30km / 1,100m vert) in the pm for a 77km week. Building nicely for race season

Scotland; world beaters at home but don’t travel well

She perfectly explained what’s wrong with America….

Yes, I’m seeing this phenomenon a lot around here at the moment

Never going to be allowed in the number 1 shirt again after that absolutely disgraceful show of skill & speed

Immediate expulsion from the front row union

Looks great, happy birthday!

That’s interesting. I had one pair of Kinabalu Ultra RC bought on sale. The sole had to be replaced after 150km, and after 200km the upper also split 🤨
