@HeinzZzA @geordinhl Force all your councillors to have a public meeting with all voters in the ward, and agree on a communication plan, which includes two meetings a year, with independent facilitator. Grant Twigg did NOTHING for 5 years!

@runningmann100 The difference there was that there WERE water tables (maybe not enough). But the 10 km I ran had NONE (for most of us).

@UnamunoAgain Sacramental churches are like finding peace and meditating in a forest. Evangelicals prize the sermon, and its core bullshit.

@Nicole_Barlow1 So which of the opposition are not socialist in their approach?

@darren_olivier Do we need a standing army? Who is likely to invade us? Rather a beefed-up Border Unit and a national paramilitary.

@runningmann100 If you've paid for an entry, and later on you can't run, tough titty! Break the rules, you suffer the consequences. No excuses, whatsoever. These are all assholes - enablers, defenders and runners.

@DanielWes4 @Roguewave67 @malik_alee66879 The work of the kitchen staff is why they get customers in the first place. If the tip is used to subsidise the wage bill, then they must share in it. It it's to reward service, no.

@SholaMos1 She enjoys white saviours patronising Black people.

@Jeukendrup Why do they take supplements in the first place? Surely there's no significant benefit? Have the benefits been quantified at all?

[Henri Fortuin @Henri_F]

@The_Duggery @JamieAA_Again The "science" on fueling - carb-loading, gels, etc., is very reductionist. It's not only glycogen, but the interaction with the brain. The rationale of spending time on the road is building neuroplasticity - getting the neuromuscular system to adapt to long distances.

@AKoutnik @theplews1 This is a complex issue which can only be definitively proved with real time testing, excluding the placebo effect. Practicable? It would require continuous monitoring of blood and muscle markers.

@AKoutnik @theplews1 Bruce Fordyce's Down Run in 1986 was faster than 2 out of the last 3 Down races. How did he hydrate and fuel? And his shoes compared to today? What about the other winners and runners since the 1990s?

@Brendennel A pity his son took his stupid pill this morning.

@runningmann100 Runners should do some research on gastric emptying during ultra races. Fibres like bananas and oranges are not recommended.
