    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.

    Easily gets in my top ten books, but it`s without doubt one of the darkest books I`ve ever read. At no point in the book, is there a moment of lightness, it`s just non stop, brutality, darkness, depravity and bleakness. It`s crying out to be made into a film, but from what I`ve read, everyone...

    Championship thread 25/26!

    In fairness to him, he was a really good player until he caught Covid first time around and it totally destroyed him. His game was all about pace and his ability to recover and get back into position quickly. He said he felt like he was breathing through a straw for months afterwards, every...

    Lampard to West Ham

    Trust me you don`t want Dyche anywhere near the club. His football makes your eyes bleed. He has one way of playing, nine men behind the ball and lump it up to a big grock up front. He plays footy not to lose, not to win. You don`t called Dychosaurus for nothing.

    Lampard to West Ham

    If it`s all possible, his footy is worse than Allardyce. Dyche is the last of the dinosaurs, him, Allardyce, Pullis et al. Footy has moved on and they haven`t. The fact that Dyche wasn`t even linked to a team during the Summer speaks violumes.

    Lampard to West Ham

    Mourinho would be a higher class and better version of Dyche, but he wouldn`t last long because of his personality and the fact that he always ends up going to war with the owners.

    Lampard to West Ham

    Can`t see this myself. Why would he swap stability and progression for chaos at a club where the fan base is in open revolt against the owners, a team that`s massively un balanced and with players scrapping with the fans ? He came into a similar situation at Everton and by the end it was close...

    Seventh race of the year on Saturday - Lakeland Trails Keswick 15K. I`ve never ran anywhere around Derwent Water, so I`m really looking forward to this one. I`m in the non competitive group of runners and will be very happy if I finish below 2hrs, with all of the elevation and technical...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I was talking about the media, rather than government officials etc. It would make for a great satirical comedy show and also make for a great topical news show - think Newsnight, but solely dedicated to picking his daily lies apart.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    The problem is that no one at all challenges him on the daily lies and misinformation that he peddles. He`s also completely surrounded by fawning lackys too, a good proportion of whom are stark raving mad and believe everything he says, so he just carries on saying what he want, even if it`s...

    Fishing

    The mad thing is that you have to get a licence to kill them, even if they are causing havoc. Looking a lot of the fishing forums, a lot of them tend to get shot " accidentally " when the pond owner is shooting squirrels and rabbits :ROFLMAO:

    It was also the fact that he was unrelenting in his stalking of his chosen targets. My younger brother had a good mate, who was really into the weights from a young age, he was a good looking lad too. The Purple one quite literally camped outside his house day and night, waiting for him to...

    Death List 2025

    How the fuck is the Purps known in Coventry :ROFLMAO: The bogey man of the North West and North Wales. No one will be shedding a tear for him. He was a figure of fun, but underneath it all, he was a very dangerous sexual predator towards young lads.
