So you can be the biggest fan the band have got and have spent a fortune on CDs, DVDs, T-shirt etc but because your phone contact is with EE and not O2, you're away in the back of beyond. How the fck is that fair ?

(Not me, but one in our group) FFS, what on earth do we shell out all that money for?!?!?!
Dvorak Mar 2018 4:02pm, 16 Mar 2018 15,691 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak Local half marathon on Sunday. Looks like a potentially hard shift with 20mph+ Easterlies and a "feels like" temperature of -6C at race start, which is just when the yellow warning of snow and ice ends. Race organisers on FB have suggested wearing more clothes, especially slower runners who will take more than two hours to finish. What GMGs is the offence some people have taken to being described as a slower runner. Including someone who says they expect to take 2:50. As someone whose average HM time is probably slightly over two hours and often finished in the bottom quartile, "slower" seems a perfectly reasonable description. I expect some of them won't bother heeding the advice (although people should have enough sense that they don't actually need to be told to wear extra layers when it is that cold) and end up being treated for hypothermia.
