Is that like a tupperware party, but over a network

I ran the Mens 10K in Glasgow today for the second time. I was faster by 90 seconds than last year despite a touch of the... erm Paula Radcliffes.. with 2K to go.

At least you improved your time

But now I'm never going to look at a tupperware box in the same way again

Roll on Friday, I'm looking forward to my extended tupperware party for sure

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

I had a phone call from the vicar today with an /interesting/ request. She's due to come see Natalie and I on Wednesday.

To say it was out of the blue would be an understatement.

Hopefully more after she's been then.

A somewhat cryptic post dilli, no clues then?

Looks like a nice TV. I do wonder about the 3D glasses though. I realise you have to use them but I would hate to have to buy enough pairs for all the family at that price. I have tried quite a few but in my case they don't work well over my prescription glasses which I have to use as I can't focus on the screen without them.

It depends on the TV - mine for example uses passive 3d and you can use 3d glasses from the cinema which are around 80p a pair or something like that.

It also came with clipons to go on glasses - not that any of it is much use to me

But there are options

Shame you can't get the most out of your TV.

I use a cheap pair when we visit friends and find them annoying. They slip all over the place and I end up having to hold them on to keep them in line with my glasses. OK for short periods but when we watch a full length film the novelty of 3D wears a tad thin, my arms start to ache and I end up getting told off for fidgeting like a 2 year old.

I may just investigate the clip on variety which seem a little more reasonably priced, just have to find some designed so that the clip doesn't obscure my vision.
