    Can't you just give me your bank details and I can put the money straight into your account.

    I'd love to but unfortunately the money raised is not for me, it goes directly to the charity. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Some visitors may recognise me as the security officer from Sainsbury's in Durham. St. Cuthbert's Hospice were recently nominated as the stores 'Local Charity of the Year' and we, as a store, will be supporting St. Cuthbert's Hospice for the next 12 months. They do great work in our community and I'm a huge believer in community spirit and had to jump at the opportunity to help people in my area.

    If I text a fiver will you confirm on here? No way am I shedding a fiver with no recognition.

    That's just how I operate.

    I'll do it later and I want you to do the run with a massive dildo hanging out the back of you.

    I don't think it has anything to do with the run itself being 'great'. It's more to do with the fact that the true North of England (not Manchester!) is great unlike the rest of this ****hole country that lays South of County Durham!

    All the talk elsewhere lead me to check my 'Rep'. Why did Tiny Tina give me a red card (I assume it's negative) on this thread?

    Make sure you get a pair that suit your feet and your running style e.g. whether you pronate, high/low instep etc.. a good running shop will analyse your style on a treadmill and recommend the appropriate footwear.

    And yes I am, get Debuchy and I will be delighted
