I just did a 10k run while ill for fun and enjoyed it. I blame @gos75.bsky.social for all of this

Time to get your Cliff Richard 2026 calendars.

And if you'd like a little preview, this is the thread for you.

Straight away, the cover pulls you in. He's so young and trendy!

My absolute fav. The caption, the pose. The setting.

Cliff, shit, just remembered we need one more picture for the calendar. Fuck it just grab the Custard Creams and riff with it.

I'm a 40-year old man. After kids' parties, I put a bit of sellotape on each balloon and prick it with a pin and let them slowly deflate while doing the rest of the cleaning up. Fucking hate bursting balloons.

Since they have done this every time I go last I think what if trees were aware. A chopped up corpse put in a circle around you 😲

26 hours until the biggest game since 2009. You could argue it's even bigger.

@gos75.bsky.social sorry for a running q but I don't know anyone who is daft enough 🤣😉 thinking of running two days in a row as my "normal day" is Saturday and well...
i have stuff to do then. Reckon two hour long runs back to back days is fine?

Not even June 😳
I love the late afternoon shadows in this picture I took with a drone of a ladies match between Cranleigh and Epsom last weekend ... the outfield already showing signs of the recent lack of rain

Fifty years ago today, Radio 1 held a "Fun Day" at Mallory Park. This day was seared into the memory of John Peel. He recalled his experience for the Radio 1 Story documentary in 1997.

If you have not seen this clip before, please watch to the very end. You will not be disappointed.

@jupli.com hey thanks for getting me to 10k! Going to have to work out my own way to edge towards a half marathon over the next year but this was fantastic and really helpful

A smidge under 10k this morning. Nearly there after starting again at couch to 5k January 2nd!

I always aim to keep my weight between 11st 4 to 11st 7, this is incase any world champion middleweight boxer's opponent drops out of a fight at late notice and I can replace them. I'm a 33 year old dad of 2, who has never boxed a professional round in his life.

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

🚨Public service announcement 🚨

Yesterday I walked through someone's ashes.

Top tip. If you are disposing of human remains don't put them in the shade on a very busy public path where people will picnic. Especially when there isn't a breeze.

Have I missed the world collapsing?
My family doesn't know, but I've built up a month's worth of food, water & other household supplies like toilet roll hidden in few watertight boxes in the attic. I discreetly rotate that stock with stuff from weekly shop when home alone. With the world collapsing, it's comforting

Visited the Magna Carta memorial this week

Still relevant after eight centuries.

Post illness/no eating run done. It wasn't a good one with a couple of breaks but got the distance done and not too much slower. Think that officially makes me a runner now.

Longest run yet followed by a post run breakfast bar that legitimately tasted like the most amazing thing I have ever eaten. That post run buzz is weird isn't it.
