  1. There's no need to be obtuse. It's a shop, that's all. You've already established that it's YOUR CORNER shop that is run by members of another ethnic group. What if it was run by British-born white people? Would you call it a white person's shop? No.

    I call my local shop Javeed's which happens to be on a bend rather than a corner.

    The bend shop just doesn't sound right.

  2. What are these parkrun things?

    My 10K is looming fast and I need a wee bit extra motivation.

    Doing 2 and a half miles three times a week before work and about 3-4 miles on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

    Can't seem to get past that.

  3. Having just spent the last year gradually building up my stamina, I can say well done.

    What helped me when I got to the stage where my body was suggesting I walk a while, I would set myself a series of mini-targets - "I want to still be running at that lamp-post" then "I want to still be running at that bus stop" etc. Even if that next target is only 100m away, you'll be amazed at how much distance achieving these mini-targets will add.

    Cheers.

    I'm trying that, but I'm still a bit of a quitter.

    Getting there though.

  4. I've just started running after signing up for the 10K in September.

    Not really at the stage of timing runs yet, still trying to finish without being sick.

    Managed 2 and a half miles without stopping on Sunday, so getting better.

    Made it round Strathclyde park in 40 minutes, walking and running.

    Will be trying to go right round without stopping this weekend sometime.

  5. I ended up supporting the Flames because I've been to Calgary (Banff) twice.

    And a reason for you to support them is that I'm a Motherwell fan and so are you...

    It's a better eason than Bluetooners :lol:

    Flames it is, until I decide otherwise.

    Im in the exact same position Deky

    Watched a lot of hockey since we moved here in May but still haven't found "my" team

    Loved watching the Olympics but probably more the world juniors in January

    Uncle was from IL and always had me supporting the Bulls, Bears, Cubs & Blackhawks but not seen much of them this year.

    Have Avalanche, Ducks & Leafs jerseys from previous holidays but dont really have an affinity with either teams

    Mrs Simplyton has opted for the Penguins because Sidney is a "lovely boy" but im still undecided.

    At the moment im leaning towards Chicago but hoping to see a bit more of them on the box.

    I've never been to America or Canada and don't really have any family links either, so I'm simply blindly picking a team.

    I sort of follow the Redskins in NFL due to blatant Claret and Amber rip off and the Twins in MLB, sadly for no better reason than I'm a Gemini :rolleyes: Sad but true.

    Not much of a Basketball fan so not bothered bout NBA.
