@TaylorandPayne Interviewed after the match Iwata says “I’d heard someone on a podcast talking about a twattastic thunderbastard so I thought I’d give it a try.” @GeorgeCaulkin
@RunningisBS people who frequently talk about running through totally unpronounceable hills not being able to pronounce ‘Cheviot’ is bullshit. Chee-vee-ut.
@JHCPAL Just occurred to me (after 2 months) that this is the same word as Lonnen. Used for a grassed path on Holy Island. The Lonnen also appears in Beadnell and South Shields.
@JHCPAL you may have discussed this before but around the village of Rennington runs a road called Orchard Loaning and taking you towards Alnwick is Millway Loaning. Does ‘Loaning’ occur anywhere else in Northumberland? And what is its etymology?
@stukulele I used to listen to a podcast that took the piss out of runners that claimed a unique achievement because of some novelty like being dressed as a banana or carrying a fridge. I wonder what they’d think of runners making similar claims just because they were running with a dog?
@RunningisBS Never heard or seen the term ‘shakeout run’ used but I think it’s what we used to call a ‘leg loosener’, a term I used last Friday for a short run before XC the next day (it didn’t help).
The peacemongers have failed.
Escalation was not managed, conflicts were not contained, people were not protected, laws were not respected. Now I hear victory is "unrealistic" and not even worth fighting for. But I see things very differently, and here's why. 👇🧵1/10
