  1. Loved Chicago last year, great atmosphere but being a chubby runner I struggled in the unseasonably warm weather. This year aiming for Cardiff as well in March, London in April, Wings for life world run in may with the Great North later in the year with either Munich or Amsterdam to finish off.
  2. Got my asus g751jy laptop from overclockers they were pretty quick and around £200 cheaper than most. Pcspecialist.co.uk and cyberpower.co.uk are both worth a look for custom gaming rigs.
  3. could be as simple as editorial with all the news around the owners, the selling of players ect at the start of the season so there was probably a story to cut into the games. Now the club are doing well despite the sales these sort of stories fall into the background, the same with papers how many stories about her compared to start of the season, whether right or wrong Ms. Liebherr is no longer front and center and everything that has gone right is getting the manager the headlines.
  4. Don't think the predictions the issue, it's his snide remarks about squad size that make him an ignoramus.
  5. I agree Apple are very good at what they do, but to be honest unless I was doing something like video, audio or picture editing on the move I think they are way over priced. If your budget stretches to one and you are obviously happy with them I would advise to stick with Apple. However if you look at places like Pc-specialist or Cyberpower, Pound for Pound you will get a much better value machine with the specs you want. I have used both for building custom gaming desktops, the great thing about them is they offer a very customisable system that will do all you need, they start from a couple of hundred pounds all the way to several thousand and will not charge you a Dell, Alienware price. Pc specialist I know also has a fairly decent community forum also, so may be a good place to pop some of those fears about windows to bed, also they sell systems with windows 7 or 8 depending on your preference.
  6. Already putting himself forward for spurs job then
  7. Worth a watch featuring our very own RK
  8. Can't be true according to the mirror the other day we are broke! I have to be honest I have no idea what to believe any more, the optimist in me wants to believe there's some good news coming.
  9. I may not be the fastest runner in the world and next year I run only my third marathon when I go back to Berlin but for my fellow runners, strugglers and those who intend or know someone who intends to run a marathon I have started a Blog, http://realrunfatboy.wordpress.com/ which will go through my own marathon experience as someone who no one thought could or would run and finish.
  10. The lull before the storm
  11. All the same company pretty much murdoch owns sky and fox IIRC and sky own f365.
  12. I personally advise against off the shelf at places like PC world and Currys, most of the specs are 6 months out of date and £per punch is pretty naff. There is another option other than self build and that is to custom build one at a place such as PC-specialist or Cyberpower bot I have used in the past and have been happy with the results. It all really depends on you want out of your PC, bog standard basic you can just buy off the shelf something with a bit more OOMF a custom build site will help. Shop around the custom places some are far better £ per punch than others alien ware are nice looking top spec PC's but you can get similar specs elsewhere for a fraction of the price. Hope this helps. be warned though when you start specing up at custom build sites it gets addictive and before you know it you've spec'd up a three grand monster:)
  13. cant make the saints game so headed up the road to support POSH tonight. will be intresting to see reading in all thier glorry I'm going for a 2-2 draw.
  14. apparentley Durham tweeted back asking something along the lines if pompey checked first with thier accountants that they could afford the players they signed.
  15. boro play at 17:20
  16. I would have thought the first thing to do would be get him an agent sorted, though they are bottom feeding pond life they are very handy, If he has one already get him to do his job and put together some footage of the youngster and get that to the clubs scouts. To be honest I have no real Idea how it works in football, but in media most companies publishers wont touch scripts or manuscripts that are just sent in. If this player is attached to some other club could cause issues.
  17. Anyone thought it was the editors Idea?
  18. sorry not seen anything in the other posts yet, just wanted to know if Markus' family were at the ground yesterday? surely they would of been touched by 31K saints fans singing his name. Gutted I couldn't go but I'm pretty much stuck with away games. Looked like one hell of a party.
  19. Sucess will breed demand, If we can finish top 10 in the prem for a couple of succesive years then I'm sure the demand for tickets will be enough to justify a 45K stadium, however this seems a long way of at the moment. Lets take it year by year and see how it goes this discussion is a tad premature.
  20. Since NA took over we have only conceded 8 home goals in the league, in the first three home games alone we conceded 4. Just goes to show how tight we are at home, and the second best away record also this season at the back. So bloody great effort.
  21. you wern't running in a saints shirt by chance? I saw a someone among the fast runners with a saints shirt on at the point where the fast runners run back down to the 20 mile mark. it was amazing how people runners and public alike help you out, I pulled up several times when my calves cramped right up, they could see I was obviously hurt and always someone there checked to see you were ok. I tripped on a bit of tape that was floating across the road at mile 23 that almost broke me since my calves again just cramped right up, luckily right by the St.jhons, I was almost in tears at that point more out of frustration than anything. I had never suffered from cramp like I had on Sunday and it was a whole new level, but I pushed through and made it. I'll try through the ballot again though dont expect to get in, I would like to knock over an hour off that time, I'm also going to try to do the london half in september.
  22. took me 6 hours 30 but I was stuggling with some pretty nasty cramp in my calves from around the 10 mile mark, and spent nearly 30 mins in St.johns ambulance tents:( But I got round and raised nearly 1800 for Macmillan.
  23. Thx GL to you though sounds like your a seasoned Pro, so hope you get the time you want. I'll be happy to crawl over the finish line, did my last long run today which was 18 miles, wont embarass myself by putting the time down but should be ahead of the sweep truck:)
  24. I'll be there just hopping to finnish. No time set this is my first Marathon and just want to finish. Running for Macmillan as I lost my step father to cancer last year and he had run the Marathon on several occasions, so thought iot would be a nice way to honor his memory. Dont know about you but getting far to many niggles to close the Marathon I still need to do 1 more long run which I hope to do Tues 20 miles.
  25. charters for starters is a good shout, opposite the stadium large beer garden outside, and the novelty of a barge PUB good for those that like thier real ales. Its just across from the stadium and not to far from town. other than that Palmerston Arms is ok kind of inbetween station and stadium, and brewery tap not bad for a bit of grub pre game.
