Checking the website of the shop wherein the machine was originally purchased, to my delight i found a similar model reduced in price by 50%, available for delivery tomorrow. By 07:10 i had ordered and paid for the thing and within moments had confirmation of delivery tomorrow.

The internet / rampant consumerism is a wonderful thing.

he's half a mile away! It'll be here soon!

Resist the urge to ask the driver why he's an hour late

12:20 indeed

Certainly I have chaps. I just don't want to wait two hours. I haven't had a run since Wednesday, I'm twitching here.

We've done that. He needs the soft bouncy track, not nasty pavements.

Basically cheating imo. No pain, no spiritual gain.

What will you do with the old one, chuck it over the neighbour's wall? Or take it apart and try and fix it?

He'll leave it on the roadside verge with the pÃ*ss-stained mattress he left there last week...

Where Sir C lives, he can leave such an object outside and, within 12 hours, the Romany fairies will have magicked it away.
