I'm on my third modern mini, other than brakes, tyres, and a couple springs, never had a thing go wrong. Love the things and they make the ball road drives for work so much fun. Now, the '92 mark IV Fod Escort I had was so far beyond redemption it was laughable for the year and a half I owned it.

I thought Solo was a good film other than bits that tried to make it about Han Solo, then, not so much. Not "nobody asked for this" more that with cool enigmatic characters, or mysterious back stories, mystical forces, unless it is all meticulously planned out before hand it rarely lived up to expectations. Add to that the calibre of Harrison Ford, the iconic performance of the role, it wasn't ever going to live up to that. For me, Solo is like most of the prequels/sequels/spin offs. They haven't added anything of enough value to the mysteries or back stories, they haven't shown great motivations or origins for the characters I loved in the first place. With exceptions. Doesn't mean they shouldn't keep playing with the toys, but they should be more careful with them.

I'm not a spiritual dude really, but went out a walk along my old dog's favourite route today, from back when he was alive, and there were times I swear I could feel his presence. He was a really good boy.

This was one several things I've seen throb this community that made me, eventually, do a test. Turns out I've got adhd, just went undiagnosed my whole life, was called hyper active, was told not eat certain foods with e numbers in the 80's, not drink coke (caffeine), I've a follow up doctors appointment, but being nearly 50 and only figuring this out now, is been a real mind fuck, positive feeling though

Some instant coffee makes a perfectly acceptable coffee like beverage that fits the job, there's no need to ever buy Nestle products though

There's a few factors really, your out of shape comment could be one, no offence meant If you're pushing your lungs, and airways in general, further than usual, and quite literally stretching them, and faster than they're used to, the extra stretching can cause that feeling. Lessens as you get fitter. If its proper cold, or.dry, and if you mostly breathe through your mouth, or both, the air isn't a match for the warm humid like air in your lungs and airways...nose breathing is a big thing to improve your running, there's a great guy whose name I cannot recall who is a massive advocate for nose breathng in runners and how it can massively help your long distance proper too! Includes things about dehydration lessening etc...worth a search for

I also have a suspension they don't want the kids able to identify the inappropriate sexual abuse they are committing on the kids, startling how often these uptight cunts end up being pedos.
