    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Watched it last night. Apparently there`s now over 30,000 lies / misrepresentations he`s told on air, since he started his second term and these were the most newsworthy. Some of it was very funny, as he`s just making stuff up to cover the fact that he`s an ignorant buffoon and trying to save...

    Talking of gear, can you recommend a decent comp legit waterproof jacket, as my old faithful Aussie Grit 20,000 mm is on it`s way out. I`ve been looking at the Invov8 Stormshell V2, but the reviews are a bit mixed, but it will only be for racing and not training. I can`t afford £200 which some...

    The weird thing with Inov8, is that they seem to mess around with all of their range, apart from the X Talon`s. You`d think that that if they had a particular shoe that was a consistent best seller, just like the X Talon`s, that they wouldn`t totally revamp it every 18mths or so ? I appreciate...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is a very good analogy about all the stuff going on with the flags and anti immigration stuff going on in the UK at the moment. If you go into the desert and catch 100 red fire ants, as well as 100 black ants and put them in all a jar, at first nothing happens. However, if you violently...

    I`ve get something called metarsaligia on the sole of one foot ( like a burning pain ) and saw a sports podiatrist for it, who was also an ultra trail runner. He swore by them and persuaded me to give them a go when it was the Challenger 3, so I long time I go ! Since then I`ve had at least...

    I was around Bakewell and got caught in it. I can handle the rain, but it`s when it`s being driven into your face by the wind and you can`t see properly, that it becomes a bit stupid.

    What was the weather like, as I was in the Peak District yesterday and it was pretty gnarly to say the least.

    Hoka Challengers are the perfect cross shoe for the road and light trails. They`re basically they`re best selling Clifton, with a slightly more chunky sole. I use them as my go to trail shoe for pretty much everything, apart from super heavy conditions, when I switch over the my Inov8 X...

    I finished it at the weekend and as much as I thought it was a good watch, I thought that the poor supporting cast badly let it down. Eric Bana and Sam Neil were excellent in the lead roles, some of the camera work was stunning ( I actually jumped out of my seat, when the girl fell off the...

    The film was a missed opportunity, but they`d have had to cut bits of the book out regardless, as there`s no way it`d have got shown otherwise.

    The Passage had all the ingredients to be one of the all time horror greats to be transferred to the screen, but it needed to be done properly, which would`ve cost a lot of money. They went for a condensed version instead, which was absolute rubbish and not worthy of being associated with the book.

    100% read The Road, as the film bottles it due to the content ( I suppose they wouldn`t have got a cert of they`d stayed true to the book ) With the book, there`s non of the stupid and pointless beginning, with Charlize Theron, it`s just a man and a boy of the road, following the collapse of...

    Some crackers there, read a good few of them too. Do you like well written horror ? The Passage - Justin Cronin ( he`s a professor of English Lit in the States ) and is just a magnificent book ) It sounds like it should be absolute rubbish, but it was that good, I was carrying the book around...

    If anyone hasn`t seen it, all six series of Brassic are now on Netflix. Without doubt one of the funniest and best written comedy series of recent times.
