    I'm mid 260s mate so yeah we could be in the same intake. I don know if my betting will have cleared though. It's been in since September so I'm hoping it has.

    If you start after the 15 day of the month you dont get paid until the end of the following month. You can get an advance but you have to be able to prove 'exceptional hardship'

    I would imagine its similar to the one near us. a run round a forest with excercise clusters dotted around it! possibly also the home of the fabled 3.1 mile run we have to do. don't quote me on that tho i could be wrong. i have been wrong once or twice in my life as im sure you'll find out in the upcoming months! :D

    You're not far wrong this time. It is indeed the home of the 5k. Gotta love that ski slope LOL

    On a different note, HUGE congrats to those who got the call, I'm sure there's more to come tomorrow, fingers crossed for everyone!:D
