Others have already mentioned Dune 2, but I'll add another vote for it. If you enjoyed the first one, then you'll enjoy this one. (I love the book (and the first couple of sequels), and I think DV is...
Wow, that is profoundly unhelpful of them! I get a reasonable amount of guff from my old college and the university about supporting access, but it doesn't sound like there is a reality behind it....
Congratulations to your son! Unfortunately my knowledge is 30 years out of date, but have you tried talking to the teams at the individual colleges? They might be able to give you an indicator early?

Interesting! I hadn't thought about the pressure depressing the pushers before. That non-oil filled did pretty well, didn't it?
Well done!
Well, I've got a Sekonda handwound that I bought nearly 35 years ago, but I don't wear it and it keeps lousy time, so I don't think that counts!
More seriously, I bought this Oris Miles new in...
No, seen pictures only. The Helm is a fair bit bigger and chunkier looking, and the case profile is pretty different from what I can see. Design language of both in terms of dial/bezel is pretty...
Good choice!

Fresh in from SC this week for me and I rather like it. It's not a revolutionary design, but it is an extremely well executed one that...
Good luck!
(I did a couple of halves and decided I didn't fancy the full marathon.)

(Gave it a quick blast with a torch to make the lume pop a bit, the lume is actually pretty good on this.)
Yep, can confirm that it definitely does!
If the the 5610U is available on Amazon for £88, that's a decent deal.
Get a GW-M5610U, the price is going to be more like a hundred quid (they're £99 at Argos right now), but you get all of the bells and whistles. Solar means you don't have to think about battery...
I haven't read the details (I'm somewhat squeamish about medical stuff, so I'm not going to!), but I'm glad to hear you're on the mend, Tony.

10 mile event yesterday which went fine (was actually about 9.8 miles because of course changes due to flooding). It's part of 3 event series run in Milton Keynes called the Cattle Creep series,...
Quite an enjoyable episode, I thought.
A bit blindsided by that one, reminds me of going home from school on the bus. Sad news.
Woke up this morning to see the news that Kelvin Kiptum has been killed in a car crash. Sad news and a loss to running.
Worth adding the link to the Strava club to the thread again, then: https://www.strava.com/clubs/1080417
That's bloody good work! It's been a while since I've managed a 85km month, doing that in a week slightly boggles my mind!
11km done today and feels OK, so I reckon I'm going to do the 10miler...
Ta!
That's what I figure, too. I'll do 10k or so tomorrow, and if that is OK I should be Ok for 10 miles. I'll just dial the pace back a good way.
Well done to everyone getting PBs at...
