How long did each climb take?
Up and down, Ben Nevis was about 6 hours, Scafell (in the dark) around 4 1/2, and Snowdon about 5. With a lot of travelling in between, on a cramped minibus.

Climbed Scarfell once. Hated it. Massive respect for you doing three.
I'm a chubby fucker but I'm more stubborn than gonorrhoea in a Wigan girl.
My feeble lungs/heart/body gave up after the first one but I figured I was only ever going to do this once, so may as well have a go at finishing it. My advice: don't ever get conned into trying it. Hell. Hell on earth.

which were you happier about - beating Derby or completing an impressive feat like the 3 Peaks
I still had a 2.5 hour descent before the challenge was over, so I wasn't even thinking of that haha!!

I did the Three Peaks challenge with work over the weekend - hardest thing I've ever done. For your enjoyment, here's a picture of me acting all Danny fackin' Dyer on top of Snowdon as I found out that we'd beaten Derby.

Just watched Toronto Wolfpack play Toulouse on my jollies. Great fun!
Positives: Full to the brim with pretty Canadian girls who have a thing about big men hitting each other, and then realising me and my mate are gigantic (I totally lied and said I play this sport at home to a chorus of oohs and aahs
).
Negatives: I was probably in the top 5 percent most knowledgeable on RL in the stadium. The poor sods haven't got a clue!!

Kevin Davies is a talentless shitcunt.
Responses like this are why he was a truly brilliant target man.
Absolutely rattled the big boys for a solid decade at Bolton, as he was a magnet for high balls, worked like a horse to battle with the best centre backs in the country (I will say, he was fouled just as often as he dished them out), and could hold it up better than pretty much anyone in the league at the time.
Plus, he'd level that Scottish pansy you had up top for so long

To announce it at half time was bizarre. Hardly going to give the fans a lift for the second half.
Baffling decision really, I'm guessing another party (Sydney FC, the local paper, Le Fondre himself) was ready to go public and the club had to save face and announce it first? Either way, I've never heard of anything like it.

I genuinely feel like someone has stabbed my mum.
A player that has given so much to this club, a true fan favourite, who has been told in no uncertain terms that he simply won't lead the line here again.
With all due respect to the Australian league, he still had so much to give in the Championship; my club hasn't had a natural finisher like ALF since Ivan Klasnic. Granted, he doesn't fit into the current manager's rough-and-tumble style but he is still a class above this move. Quotes are coming out saying it's an 'opportunity of a lifetime' for him; I'm sure it is, and on a rumoured 3x wage increase, why wouldn't he leave?
As this forum's sole BWFC fan, I speak for the thousands of us when I say: Adam, you've been a fucking hero for us in the darkest period this club has had in over 30 years, and your efforts in the white shirt won't be forgotten. Enjoy your three years in the Aussie sunshine - you deserve it. Big love.

Harv it’s not worth your energy mate, you’ve got an Iranian/Brit in America, a German & a young Brit who spends most of his time backpacking around Australia & they know more about Brexit & the general mood of the country because the publications they gravitate to which reaffirm what they want to hear tell them so.
Me & you who reside here 24/7 and looked at the Brexit as more than many of the headlines don’t know diddly squat, better just shut up. You’re going to start getting called “alt right” soon on this forum if you carry on.
I'd like to think that you're being clever and satirical in your blatant disregard for irony, but sadly, based on your previous political posts on this forum, I can't see that being the case.
Love, a Brit residing in the UK x x

Someone posted up a long thread of analysis about a few myths of English football against Spanish and it's actually quite scary how easily we all buy into it because it suits our agenda. The hammerings argument is bollocks as well. Pretty sure Man City have won 7-2, 5-0, 6-0 and a few more this year.
5-1 being one of them?

It genuinely has the possibility of being one of the most interesting competitions for many a year. I don't think there's a clear favourite, despite what the bookmakers may think. I think St Helens are still favourites but personally, I don't agree and I'd put us amongst one of four or so teams who could win the Grand Final. We have probably the best player in the league in Ben Barba in the side, who should be absolutely frightening. Justin Holbrook may have had an entire off-season to work out who his best seven is and it seems that he's likely to go with the putrid Matty Smith at 7 next week, a man who offers little whatsoever and provided some frankly disgraceful stats from 2017, including never winning an away game in which he started. We also have quite shit forwards, too. James Roby is a freak and Luke Thompson had a beast in 2017 but people like Kyle Amor, Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Jon Wilkin and Zeb Tai'a are another year older and likely to have regressed further.
Leeds have lost the last of their Golden Generation in Danny McGuire, Castleford still have nearly all of the side that have served them so well over the last couple of years, Hull FC look on an upward curve still and Warrington are somewhat of an unknown quantity this year for me. They've finally fucked off the second most loathsome and excuse ridden fart inhaler in the comp in Tony Smith, have appointed Steve Price who comes with a lot of good words said about him from the NRL, they've binned off a load of shite like Rhys Evans, Kevin Penny, Joe Westerman, Ashton Sims and Andre Savelio and recruited well in Tyrone Roberts and Ben Murdoch-Masila, especially.
One team who I think won't be in the running is Wigan. This isn't any bias but they've simply not recruited and I don't see how you can seek to improve on a poor finish last year (5th) and barrels of dour rugby by signing two players, an unknown kid from Australia and re-signing Dan Sarginson, a man so incapable of defending, it's laughable. Wigan's recruitment and retention over the past few years has wound up fans and they weren't happy with the re-signing of Sarginson and having lost Anthony Gelling and Micky McIlorum, I can't see them doing anything this year which will be a massive shame.
Did not have you down as a League supporter, let alone a St. Helens fan... what's your story?
To draw a Venn diagram with all Leyton Orient fans and all Rugby League fans, I'm sure you're one of tiny minority... I'm genuinely interested.

To be fair I haven't listened to a game of ours on the radio for years, I'm over-egging it somewhat but they used to be pretty bad. You can normally always get a stream now if you're not there so it's not really something I generally bother with. I find listening on the radio agonising to be honest, more than watching a game anyway.
Oh but that's the best thing about it!
Now I don't have a season ticket because I'm a shit fan and only go to a handful of games a year, I find local commercial radio coverage a guilty pleasure.
The not knowing what the fuck is going on, the hyperbolic metaphors, the breaks in signal when someone walks past my front door - it's marvellous bliss.
And the misery from Tower FM's commentary team is something to behold - Lord knows they try to be positive, but when you're having to freeze your tits off watching dire shite for a pittance, it's difficult.
I love it, because I am truly a glutton for punishment. Local radio and muted Final Score beats the wank atmosphere at 80 percent of home games in any case.

Gutted for Klitschko, really thought he had Joshua in the 6th. What a wonderful comeback from Joshua though, truly remarkable.
Inevitably that's Klitschko's retirement now, but what a competitor to hand over too. Fuck Fury, he's a genuine scrotum and hopefully, when the time comes, Joshua will truly sit the mouthy fucker down.

Definitely doesn't look English to me.
She's in another country and (going off this evidence) hasn't taken her top off, urinated on a local monument or projectile-vomited at a police officer.

I've finished Mr Robot. Don't think I will bother with it if a 3rd season comes out.
Need something new now. Decided I will try Blindspot.
I loved the first season, and got well into the second. I kinda left with the feeling that if season 3 comes out... I'm not going to rush watching it.
Did anyone watch The Knick? Thoroughly enjoyed it, absolutely gutted when I found out it was cancelled after the second season - a really interesting concept with some really engaging performances.

No, only cultural. League is played by public schools and Union by private schools. The major regional divide is NRL v AFL.
That's honestly fascinating (for me, at least).
Any idea why? Not that I expect it to be an easy answer - it is arguably a similar thing in the UK, but we can at least draw a pretty map around the League heartland. As far as the actual sports go, there is absolutely nothing to make either a 'rich' or 'poor' sport.

Nothing fucks me off more than a private school boy and his condescension towards league.
Agreed.
Is there a regional divide in Australia, as well?
In the UK, League is the egg-game of choice for nearly everyone north of an imaginary line drawn from the Mersey to the Humber. It appears that anyone south of this line assumes that the game is for feral beasts, because it doesn't involve 10 fat blokes jumping on top of each other.
-
As a part-time Rugby League watcher who defines their support of a team as 'Anyone but Wigan', I'm baffled by this season so far.
- What has happened to Warrington, Phil?
- And how on earth have perennial mid-table tosh Castleford started off by dicking everyone?
Please explain - although I've been half watching RL for a couple of years, I am still an absolute virgin.

Jesus fucking wept.
I am so tired of people like this. You can -almost- excuse racial ignorance from the uneducated white British underclass who don't associate with anyone outside of their white British circles, but this bigot is supposed to be EDUCATING FUTURE GENERATIONS.
There is so much poison in UK society, and with lunacy like this, how is it ever going to change?
The more we're subjected to this, the more I keep thinking we're living in a parallel universe within the mind of Chris Morris. Satire is dead.
