Which trail half are you doing ?

Did you see it on the big screen with surround sound ? I saw it on the biggest screen at the local multiplex and when the 666 scene came on, with Iron Maidens Number of the Beast pumping out full belt and filling the whole cinema, it made the place feel like it was charged with static...

Just finished series 7 of Brassic. I can see what they were trying to do with it, with the individual episodes, to try and round the whole thing off, but ultimately it didn`t really work. A couple of the episodes were really good, but it all felt a bit disjointed compared to the previous...

This is a really good film, that seems to have flown massively under the radar : She Rides Shotgun. Taron Edgerton plays a recently released prisoner, who in order to survive in jail, became part of an Aryan gang and is now trying to get out of the gang. However it doesn`t work like that and...

Just finished Freddie Flintoff`s auto biog - Coming Home. I`m not really into auto biographies, as they tend to be poorly written and just full of anecdotes, which become pretty boring quickly. However, this was very good, well written and I thought it was too short, possibly would`ve...

It`s one to watch alone, as it require`s full attention. Even though Diane Laine and Kyle Chandler are the leads, it was the son - Josh, played by Dylan O`Brien, who stole it for me. His change from a left leaning, would be author, into what can only be described as " Stephen Miller " was just...

Anniversary - just dropped on Netflix. Ignore the so so reviews from the critics, this is a very good film, but terrifying at the same time, as it`s like a prophecy of what the future may hold for us all. Diane Laine, plays a Professor of politics, who lives a a comfortable, liberal life with...

Sounds like some weird kind of impact injury, what does the physio say ? I`ve had all kinds of weird and wonderful strains over the years from running, in places that you`d never associate with running, but were diagnosed by my physio mate as running injuries !

Great article in the Midlands Gazette on Dyche. Pretty brutal tbh, but a very accurate summary of how he`s carefully created his own myth and how the crazy Greek gangster at Forest fell for it. People seem very quick to forget, that as well as getting Burnley into Europe and very quickly out...

Same here, switched over after 20 mins, couldn`t believe how bad or how utterly annoying every single kid was. Also, what was going on with the camera work, it was making my eyes hurt ?? It`s a shame, as I was really looking forward to this and it`s usually the type of drama that the BBC...

Go back to it mate. It`s a true standout tv series. It starts off with Marty as the main character and then bit by bit, his missus Wendy, together with Ruth, just dominate the whole thing, with Marty playing an almost supporting role. It`s incredibly well written and cast too. It quite...

Depends on whether your only aim is to get around and finish. I lived like a monk for about six months prior to my first marathon, putting off social occasions etc and stuck rigidly to my training plan. Looking back now, I wouldn`t do it again.

I enjoyed Black Rabbit, but I thought Jason Bateman was badly miscast. He`s just not right to play the baddie. Jude Law was very good though.

Stick with Ozarks, it gets better and darker with each series and the character development with each series is sublime. I was gutted when it finished.

Did my first race of the year today and the furthest North I`ve ever been with my running - North Lakes Half Marathon. Started off in Cockermouth town centre, then went out towards Buttermere on single track country lanes, so almost a hybrid trail trace, as some of the lanes where in a pretty...

Had a look at that and looks like something I`d really like, on my list (y)

We Bury The Dead. I`d heard a bit of chatter about this one, some good, some bad, so decided to give it a watch last night. It`s an Australian film, with the British actress, Daisy Ridley in the lead, who for some reason plays an American, when she would`ve been perfectly fine playing the...

If you enjoyed Kin, I can highly recommend - Love / Hate. ( lower to mid level young drug dealers in Dublin ) Starts off really ropey and low budget, but just gets better and better with every series, as the various characters come into their own and develop, especially the character " King...

As difficult as it was to watch, it was a fantastic piece of " serious " tv, as it joined seamlessly with the original episode. The whole team that make this series have over the years put together some absolute top notch television with this series, which never comes across as sensationalist...

I thought I was having IT band problems, but it turned out it was a tiny muscle at the back of the knee - The Popliteus, which was causing the problem. I`ve got to admit, I`ve never heard of it before and it was only a mate who`s a physio who picked it up - said it was something that got...
