Because you haven't had enough of Toontastic veterans doing things for charity this year, I've foolishly signed up to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon, which takes place exactly a month from today. I'm doing it to raise money for Parkinson's UK, because it's a dead good cause that's close to my heart and all that stuff. If you fancy supporting me with a donation, I'd be really grateful - my fundraising page (including sexy running pics) is here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/faulknmd I can't promise your money will go towards anything as concrete (arf) as cement and wheelbarrow tyres, nor will my photos be as evocative as Cath's lush ones from Peru, but you'll be helping to make a difference to people with Parkinson's and the people who support them, so that's canny. And either way, encouraging words and/or abuse will be greatly appreciated as I start to ramp up the training, so don't be shy.

Rop out with your cop out!

There are worse ways to go.

Scrap that, can't be faffed with Corbynista logic. This is why I prefer local politics, I can deal with dogshit and potholes.

Watching the Labour leadership Question Time special, for some reason. Already losing the will to live.

And still calling himself a rentboy, like he does with that pic of himself as a bairn at school. What are we supposed to infer from this? Congrats Stevie, you big owld sulky everything-phobe - hope you make her very happy.

I was thinking that too. Most insalubrious.

I like them already.

Unless it's an idea involving a female with agency, in which case fuck 'em.

Had another wave of them because him indoors is a bit younger, but that also seems to be - ahem - drying up now. We're among the few dominoes left to fall...

Well he did say "(approx)"...

I think we're only going to one this year. Makes a blessèd change.

Read this a while back, it's quite entertaining (if you can say that given the subject matter): http://www.cracked.com/blog/isis-wants-us-to-invade-7-facts-revealed-by-their-magazine/

I'm not pedantic, I just have standards. (And the fact that I've surely posted stories from the Mail before is entirely irrelevant.)

Have you got a link from a decent newspaper or a decent news site?

Don't worry Parky, they're not going to confiscate your penis. (yet)

Off to Gothenburg in February. Should be lovely and toasty warm

tl;dr version - "oh good, several more months of this thread"

It is if you're terrified by your relationship with your own masculinity. Or something.

We wouldn't be having this slowdown if the economy had priced in a slowdown by slowing down a bit earlier. Simple.

BULLDOG SPIRIT TAKING BACK CONTROL INNIT

That's London for you. Every shred of personality being gradually replaced by Singapore-owned flat-pack apartments.

I was about to say that one appearance doesn't constitute a habit, then I realised who I was talking to. There was a Eurovision team on Only Connect last night, which is something I'd been meaning to get together since the first series but never got round to. They weren't proper fans, either.
