@myoddballs Hi social media person. You do realise we can still see the hidden replies. In fact we tend to find them more interesting than if you just left them for all to see

@QcWynter As long as its your groin and not anything more delicate. Truck drivers testicle is a thing apparently.

@WRNNorfolk @WomensRightsNet Oooohh i do hope @tribunaltweets are there :)

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

135 British MPs are fighting guidance that would deny ‘Paula’ the right to enter women’s and girls’ changing rooms.

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

Keir makes interesting & valid point that the fact that some will seek to evade a restriction is not a good reason not to impose it.
Regular readers will look forward to him making exact same point re men who seek to evade restrictions on access to women-only spaces & sports.

@sherryjoyce90 @parkrunUK I'm still in there.. but only for entertainment purposes

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

In more important news from @parkrunUK world, they are renaming challenges in the official app. Some parkrunners within the facebook groups are not happy with this developement

@neilDCFC @JoggingJeff5k @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland should just go and enter a race.. leaving parkrun for the competative slower runners that are looking to only improve their time and socialise, runners just you you Neil

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@neilDCFC @JoggingJeff5k @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland parkrun aside, generally if an event is over a fixed distance, timed, with published results showing finishing positions it would be classed as a race and therefore a sport, no matter how fast or slow the competators are. And by your logic, if people want these stats, they

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@neilDCFC @JoggingJeff5k @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland Then you wouldn't have a problem with the stats going then, you know, to remove any possible confusion around parkrun being sport?

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@neilDCFC @JoggingJeff5k @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland It may, or it may not... people didnt think FWS would win in court, and look what happened there. Until then some women like me will continue asking for fairness, and some men like you will continue being against it. Ultimately it is out of our hands and may end up in court

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@JoggingJeff5k @neilDCFC @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland Each individual that says simply congratulations on your run at x event. Your time today was xx:xx. And maybe a sentance on it being a new PB. But hey, i'm only a woman that wants fairness in sport, so why would a man like you bother listening unless its to abuse...

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@JoggingJeff5k @neilDCFC @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland Bigots that want all trans people banned from parkrun, want parkrun to fail etc etc, when all we want is fairness, either that being through parkrun changing their policy and requesting people register correctly, or by getting rid of the published results fully. Just a result to

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@JoggingJeff5k @neilDCFC @SusanEgelstaff @heraldscotland parkruns own support page shows they updated their policy in 2019. OK it also states they went from two 'genders', but that was also back when generally the common definintion of gender meant sex....
Neil, you may carry on arguing as much as you wish, suggesting we lie, are evil

@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife And tbf, i've been a Junior ED and RD.. sometimes you do have to shout at them..especially if you have a few that are playing around instead of listening to the run brief. With that said the jnrs do tend to be quiet quicker than the adults....

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@Waffles2026 @Chablislodge @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife I'm also blocked for saying i'm going to continue calling Him, Neil, Jenny etc parkrunts...

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Some roles are not avaliable at Junior events..that should say....

[blakespicer @blakespicer6]

@Chablislodge @Waffles2026 @Caterin00138072 @rowingdonna @dora_marshall03 @itsafrogslife Tbf to Graham (i know i am such a monster) he does appear to have volunteered and probably does still volunteer at the 5k events, given he has volunteered at least 324 times, some of which are in roles that are not avaliable at parkrun events.
