  1. Went for a 5 mile run yesterday evening and it must have been about 19 degrees in Edinburgh. f**k that come marathon day, made such a difference. Bring on the rain.
  2. It's 'health month' at my work and they've just covered the office in reminders not to drink too much alcohol in a week. All so they can tick some box that says they care about their employees by stating the fucking obvious.
  3. Boostin Kev has, quite frankly, crossed a line and I will be discussing the issue of anti-Aberdeen sentiment with my local Tory MP.
  4. I could've said they can't get any worse but I didn't want to tempt fate.
  5. Jesus Joey, they're going to be insufferable now.
  6. It’s fine. Not very exciting though. ETA - as much as a new football top can be exciting
  7. Like i said far from it, yes playing in a champions league final would be a highlight but to be on the losing side would be devastating. Do you want to play in the final? Naw, I'll be sad if we lose.
  8. Well getting over a defeat in a final would be a lot harder than going out in the group stages. As I said, absolute loser mentality.
  9. Sorry but i see that as far from it as it could be you'd be happy with best runner up cause i for one wouldn't. You don't have to be happy with runners up to prefer it to being pumped out in the group stage.
  10. The term loser mentality gets handed about quite freely these days but you’ve just nailed it.
  11. True. When did Corbett go off the radar and undercover though, I had it in my head it was pre the whole Hilton thing.
  12. Yeah that’s a hole in the plot IMO and my wife and i discussed it too. AC-12 kept that recording under lock and key so no one else would know the initial and it suddenly became a widely used code name.
  13. Meh. Bit like the long night that episode was a decent spectacle but poor storyline for me. It’s becoming the show that I thought it was before I watched it and that put me off watching it. Hopefully they wrap it up well.
  14. Did an absolutely top notch shite at work this morning and thought of this thread. Keep up the good work, lads.
  15. Two trophy presentations for the Hearts fans in successive weeks. They've hit the big time again.
  16. These threads are embarrassing in the extreme. Are you both about 12?
  17. That's brilliant progress mate. I'd say if you're doing that on training runs you'll push past the 2 hour mark for the half marathon as you'll have that extra bit of energy.
  18. We're in danger of slightly derailing the thread so won't say much more but I think you are right in the above but only to an extent. There are people within companies, leadership too, who genuinely care and want to solve it but have no idea how. As I say, it's a complex issue, even having personal experience I'm probably not very well placed to tell someone else how to improve their own mental health situation. Ironically, for me the solution is/was to 'man up' and get my shit together, only I could resolve it. But you need the platform to get yourself up off the floor and be in a position to do that and I think that's what companies struggle with.
