Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

[My 2nd place finish in a parkrun came on an absolute quagmire, which meant that all the really good runners went elsewhere, and the good runners were brought down to my level...]

Millom has the world's oldest amateur rugby league club, founded in 1873. There is a sign above the clubhouse entrance which says this.

That course is ridiculousness, McG.

V'rap, do you mean good for Aspatria in that pining five-lap mud-pluggers will boost the numbers?

I was thinking good for Aspatria in that it might get another bit of surfaced path, conditional upon public access. Though I'm probably going to withdraw from my "core team" commitment before even starting because I've lost impetus and because it's such an unappealing course.

(Great if it could be put in place before the fourth peak. And properly finished, unlike my new local fpr course (well, cycle path) so far. Too many chuckies currently. And indeed the specially built section of Loch Leven parkrun.)

That fragments of a fireball seen on 28 Feb. that landed in a Gloucestershire garden are 'astonishingly rare'. Carbonaceous chondrites may contain material from 4.6 billion years ago, when the solar system was forming.

That was on R4's 06:00 news this morning. It's really properly exciting for those of us who can lose half an hour just staring at the little piece of moon rock in the Science Museum.

[There's a chap who came to the public astronomy talks that Cambridge University runs who makes his living buying and selling meteorites. Nomads get paid to keep an eye out for them in the Sahara. If you collect a quantity of dust off a flat roof or a gutter and look at each speck in a microscope and know what you're doing, you'll probably find some micro-meteorites.]

Yes, indeed. The overexcited scientist is an object of no little amusement and wonder imo. I smiled at the comment about what it had cost a Japanese mission to secure similar rock, compared with bouncing over to Gloucs. in the faculty's 1955 Series 1 Land Rover to inspect the find.
