@charliersmith1 A very happy new year to you. May you achieve everything you desire. Be magnificent.

@itskyleconner Theatre. My last car was a Mini JCW. Now that had theatre. Your backside a few mm from the floor and the ‘kick down’ from the flappy paddle gear change was great! Nowhere near as fast off the line as my Model Y, but the Tesla does it without any fuss and no theatre…

@historyrock_ Hi!

@5uggy @UKRunChat I had a Strava sub for a few years but concluded last year that I didn’t really need it. If you want to spend money on a sub, I think the better subscription, IMO, is https://t.co/T5f4A6aNkp. I’m a long time subscriber and the stats and historical data is excellent.

@runningchannel Happened to me at the Brentwood Half back in March. I felt pretty disappointed at the time - all that work and because I wasn’t as fast as most, I missed out. They posted it out later and offered a discount on next year, but it’s not the same.

@TeslaOwnersUK I have mine on random now, but for a short while I used a recording of “Mind the Gap” from the tube. The novelty soon wore off…..

@LondonMarathon Pace is everything.

@Astro_Angry Free at the point of delivery is a founding principle of our health service. You might have to wait but you will be seen and you won’t have to be worried about paying for it. It’s one of the few things that we can still be proud of…. But there are those who would take it away…

@charliersmith1 @parkrunUK Come on Charlie! Come on Charlie’s Mum!!

@ravbillan I couldn’t run in there…..Garmin wouldn’t work!

[Rob Batters @RobBatters]

@ravbillan Well, I’m not down. That looks like the right profile. Did you catch a train in vain or a brand new Cadillac? 👍

@buitengebieden He’s a good boy.

[Rob Batters @RobBatters]

@charliersmith1 I’m so pleased for you, now go and be the you that you always wanted to be.

@GillianSearl @RedCircleFP @FundmentHQ Hi Gill. I had a similar experience, but I can confidently say it was the previous pension company that was the problem. Ultimately my IFA assorted it out and got me a (small) compensation payment. It’s what they get paid for.

@charliersmith1 Know that your life has great value. With you, the world is a better place. Just be you. Just you being you is wonderful.

A week ago, I lost my best little friend, Bailey. For 14 years we had some wonderful adventures together. Without him, there would have been no running and no London Marathons. Without him, my life would have been very different. Goodbye little friend, you were very much loved.

@runwithclaire You’re definitely not stupid and clearly you don’t need people like that. I never joined a club for this very reason. Run for your own pleasure. Run however you want to!

@straczynski Should the stars align and a reboot of B5 gets the green light, may I politely request that, if you are ever tempted to do a ‘musical’ episode, you pour yourself a well-earned drink and reconsider…..

@GWRHelp I’m scheduled to travel from Paddington to Cheltenham on Friday morning. Given there’s going to be some disruption and assuming some form of service is running, will I be able to use my Advance Single ticket on another train if my train is delayed or cancelled?
