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!

Sorry, only just learned how to do bold text and italics text and all that and this was just the first random thread I chose to abuse.

parkrun staff, including the CEO, are rather prone to writing "ran" where it should be "run". :(

Mate

In a work context, people I have never met calling me mate. I'm not your mate.
Learn my name or feck off.

People who can't just fill in a very simple form, and pass me a cheque.

Everyone else has managed it.

Charlie/Chris, can you give an example of the run/ran misuse?
