Fitz Jun 2015 5:23pm, 15 Jun 2015 1,221 posts	Quote Pin Fitz The increasingly ludicrous text on souvenir race shirts. "13.1 is my lucky number" covering the entire back of the 2015 Hackney Half shirt, for example. Even "FINISHER" across the front of the JP Morgan Corp Challenge shirt bugs me. I used to think I'd never need to buy any short sleeved running tops as I have a ready supply of race shirts. Or maybe I'm just becoming a grumpy(er) old git.

It's for charity] So, obviously I've also been having thoughts about the apparent decline in people's spatial awareness. I had wondered if it was just me being over-aware, as it seems that quite rapidly a lot of people seem to be losing a basic sense of where they are, where other people are; and any relationship between the two. Having written that, yesterday I did manage to back into someone in a largish shop in which we may have been the only two customers inside.

Surrey Phil Jun 2015 2:00pm, 16 Jun 2015 910 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil That's two of us, Sazzahazza. I shifted a number of burgers at a school fair on Saturday. My wife took remainder home for Saturday and Sunday dinner too. Feel rather bloated and didn't even get out for a run. A severe case of indiscipline on my part.
