5am run on Saturday morning

To quote Stephen Fry, I think I'd rather be gang-raped by the House of Lords!

Where did the "balls" emoticon come from? I like that one.

Feetle That is disgusting!

Tennis balls are on the list...

I fail to ever see any justification for quoting Stephen Fry (pompous git - him I mean, not present company) and see no reason to change my opinion now.

Think we should keep 'em. Could come in useful.

What d'you reckon Greatnan?

New emoticon eh, my oh my

We could add them on their own in the plural as a comment.

Would I get barred if I said "No shit Sherlock"?

Type it very quietly so that no-one hears you.

N O S H I T S H E R L O C K !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't let you do extra spaces on here. Wonder why not.

Dunno.

I know some people take against Stephen Fry, but I must say I like his books, enjoy his wit, disagree with his views on punctuation, enjoy his acting and sympathise with his depression. Why do people think him pompous? Maybe because he has played a few pompous parts?

I'd attach the pompous label on the occasions that he, as interviewer, has talked longer (and as a result answered his own questions) than he allowed his interviewee...he did this at Hay Festival a couple of years ago and it drove me mad. The other person was a world expert in mental illness but he barely let her get a word in edgeways.

Otherwise, I'd agree with you about the rest. Very clever man.

He just does not do it for me , when on the rare occasion I tune into q.i , I find him quite unlike able , same goes for his sidekick , Alan davies

I went on the 5am run which I organised for the club and Gransnet this morning and nobody turned up.
Just going to cook myself a bacon roll.

HUNTERF the bacon roll will go halfway to undoing the early morning run.

I cooked the bacon under the grill.
There were no restaurants open around where I ran.

Frank

gracesmum I agree with you re Stephen Fry

I doubt if transport would be up and running either as not everybody has a car.
Never mind, that is another fiver that you can stash away, tax deductible of course. If you are paying 40% tax it really is not worth the time and effort is it?

Frank, I would have joined you but didn't for the following reasons:

I only got back from my holiday at 11.30 last night
Running causes me to perspire heavily (lets face it so does a gentle stroll!)
I didn't know there were two 5 o'clocks in a day
As I live in the South West I have no idea where Sutton Park Town Gate is

Can I be excused?

Anybody for a 5am run next Saturday?.
May have to make it a bit later soon as it will start to get dark at that time.
I did meet a few runners this morning mainly women.
