Yep, don't "get" it tbh - yet another Facebook clone, but it's from google so it's cool? All the folks in my "circles" are desperate for it to beat Facebook for no particular reason, it's not like google is this plucky little guyAnyone else Google+'ing yet?
Anyone want an invite pm me btw?0 -

My invites button disappeared.
Their Buzz things was a bit rubbish, but the Wave was good. They just need to get the momentum of people joined up and using it, which is very difficult. Facebook got lucky with their timing in when they appeared on the scene globally and that other things were already dying. I think I initially got on it when it was just US uni students allowed in, but that restricted audience probably gave them the right bunch of people to be starting off with.
Google has a tough task, but I'm liking the look so far. Seems they have a better system for grouping people and privacy anyway.0 -

I got an invite to it around a week ago but it only left me in today. Not sure about it yet tbh.
If anyone is keen to try it out just pm me your email address & I'll fire you on an invite, not sure if it has to be a gmail one or not

It has been in or around 35C-40C most of the last couple of weeks. Today is no exception in central Illinois. Means training is restricted to very early morning. Would anyone like to trade? I'll throw in 80-90% humidity as well.
TIMING... DANGEROUS HEAT AND HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE COMMON ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA FROM MIDDAY INTO THE EARLY EVENING.
* AIR TEMPERATURE AND HEAT INDEX VALUES... AIR TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO PUSH INTO THE 90S DURING THIS AFTERNOON AND COUPLED WITH HIGH HUMIDITY WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80 DEGREES... WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 105 AND 115 DEGREES. THE HIGHEST HEAT INDICES WILL OCCUR FROM TAYLORVILLE TO ROBINSON SOUTH BETWEEN 2 AND 6 PM.0 -

A friend of mine send me an article on Jogging Around Cork from the peoplesrepublicofcork.com forums, made me laugh, gets a dig into all sorts of people Two of the funnier bits below:
Real Runners and Rookies
It’s easy to pick out experienced runners even when they’re not jogging by their clothing which only consists of ‘Ballycotton 10’ and various Cork marathon t-shirts. Bulkier beginners who refuse to succumb to the marketing madness of the running industry are easy to spot too in their witty if-found-return-to-pub slogan t-shirts, bright Bermuda trunks and flat soled All-star fashion runners. And their puce and panting red faces of course.
Our tip: If you become a marathon runner don’t stop buying t-shirts in proper clothes shops
The Triathelte
Equipped with the latest over-priced luminous sweat-proof breathable waterproof clothing, go-fast gel based super running shoes and with various expensive electronic chips stuck in uncomfortable parts of their bodies this lot are a sports salesman’s dream as they seem to use fitness as an excuse to spend money on anything that claims it will improve their performances.
Our tip: while their fitness and dedication is to be admired never get into a conversation with a Triathlete about their chosen sport as you risk death by boredom.0 -
