    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    As can I, but I’m hoping that isn’t the deciding factor for the EFL.

    EFL Decision on Coventry’s future expected today

    It’s a ridiculous idea, and even with an objective hat on does not seem the fair or right thing to do. Especially for a team who have lost three games all season and are ahead with a game on hand. The EFL have always been weak and incompetent, if this comes to fruition it’s another example of...

    PC, Imac or Ipad?

    I recently had the same dilemma and I opted for a Mac. I definitely don’t regret the decision. As others have said it takes a while getting used to it (made worse by the fact I’m on a Windows laptop all day for work), but once you are it makes sense. We also have iPhones, TV and iPads in the...

    Running

    I did a nice canal side run this morning, however I slightly miscalculated the distance/pace, so I made it back for my first conference call of the day at 8am with literally a minute to spare. Thank God it wasn’t a video call! I find one of the main things that keeps me motivated is finding new...

    Running

    Thanks for the advice - I appreciate it. I am trying to build up gradually, and I have a good level of residual fitness from playing sport forever. I also ran the marathon last year. However the marathon is part of the issue really; I didn’t follow any set training plan or really take it...

    Running

    How are you balancing recovery time and managing such high mileage? I’m trying to get one longer run in each week, but still want to do 3/4 a week (including the long one). For example, I ran 12 miles on Saturday but then didn’t run again until yesterday (10k) as my legs were still feeling...

    Running

    I always remember trying that after an especially heavy night. I’d told my girlfriend at the time I was home at a reasonable hour and hadn’t had too much, which wasn’t quite true. So I had the brain wave to go for a run the next morning to get it out of my system; pretty sure I nearly died...

    Running

    Thanks for asking, it was good although I got a bit overexcited mid run, which I soon regretted! The run I planned was predominantly along a canal towpath and I planned to leave the towpath and weave back home at a certain point but I was feeling good (this was at around 7.5miles) so I decided...

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Nope; some definite dodgy characters in that. And people like Jeff and Doc seem incredibly seedy and misogynistic, it’s horrible to watch people actually falling for that sort of shite. Apparently they’re filming a one episode follow up and Trump is considering pardoning Joe Exotic.

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    We watch this as my partner loves it; I find it a bit hit and miss. The Dad is by far the best character though! It may have been covered on another thread, but after all the hype we thought we’d give Tiger King a go. What an absolutely bizarre world! Couldn’t stop watching though....

    Running

    I’ve been averaging three 10k’s a week, with a few shorter “quick” runs if I can. I’ve only ran twice this week as I’ve been saving myself for a long run, which I’m going to attempt in the next half hour. One thing I should really do is think about preparing a bit more. Once of my friends...

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Two things that haven’t been mentioned that are worth a watch: Ray Donovan Banshee Another that I haven’t watched in years and was never really big here, but I remember really enjoying it is Rescue Me.

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    My partner randomly started watching Spooks, series one, episode one last night while I was messing about on the laptop. It’s very dated now, but I enjoyed it when it was on originally and I found myself getting engrossed last night!

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Always been tempted by Black Sails - might give it a go. Is it similar to anything else?

    Seriously struggling today

    Really sorry to hear that. But the fact you got through that and have a family and business is incredible and you should draw a lot of strength from that. Stay strong and focus on the positives.

    Coronavirus Isolation - TV Shows to Binge

    Keen to get back into Ozark but my partner isn’t so might need to be a ‘me’ show as opposed to an ‘us’ one.

    Seriously struggling today

    I suggested a Virtual Pub Quiz for Sunday night to our friends and they were all really keen. There’s going to be 7 couples and one friend who lives alone joining. It will be nice to catch up with everyone, and as Quizmaster it gives me something to do today as I’ll be researching questions...

    Has anyone watched anything decent on Apple TV? I’ve got a years free subscription so going to try out a few of their originals.

    Home Working Thread

    Pre this I would WFH twice a week, but even so I’ve noticed the difference being at home five days. Generally I get more done at home, but as I’m quieter than usual it’s been really difficult not to procrastinate. Having a pregnant partner and 7 month old doesn’t help either - whenever my...

    Coronavirus

    Interesting. I’m in the same boat, my partner, baby and I were all ill with (what we thought were) generic virus type symptoms. Although it was pre social distancing etc, so I’d have mixed with a lot of people before/after the virus and still been contagious if it was corona. And none of those...
