The published stories mention that Parkrun is run by volunteers in a woe-is-us we-have-no-money type fashion, but there's enough sloshing around for the organising board to be paid very healthy salaries.
Parkrun is a limited company - formed with the intention of making money. They are NOT a charity.
The council do incur costs for events such as these, and trying to recoup some of that from a profit-making limited company isn't unreasonable.

I thought the same thing to be honest. 'Why?' was always a personal favourite of mine.
I'm not sure she'll be too distraught about being on the list though, given the successes of the songs she's written.

Well, it seems JoKo won't be playing Madison Keys after all. Shuai Zhang beat her 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. This result surely gives JoKo a really good opportunity to reach the semi finals. SZ clearly can't be discounted given the way she's playing and the seeds she's overcome to get this far, but her run has to end at some point...

No posts since my last one, shall we lock this thread? I don't really post on the thread because I've got nothing to add, but I am an avid read of your comments, Tom. So don't feel like it's not appreciated, it really is.

The one thing that stands out as missing from Daz's list to me is 'Proper Crimbo'. Yes, it's cheesy and awful, but it's absolutely undeniably Christmassy.

I can't warm to Ian. He just seems a bit of a tw*t to me.

I should support Tamal, apparently. Not a bad choice actually, I quite like him. Purely in a baking way of course. I'm not at all saying I want to do the no-pants-dance with him. No, not at all. Well, maybe a little bit.

We're watching it. We really really want it to be good. It seems like it could be good. But for some reason it's not quite getting there at the moment. Each episode just leaves us not quite satisfied, but not in an exciting 'I need the next episode NOW!' way, unfortunately.

In League One, Colchester beat Preston meaning Colchester stayed up at the expense of Notts County who are relegated to League Two.

9. I’ve never quite understood the logic behind Tinie Tempah – his real name would have earned plenty of headlines – Mustnt Grumble; Or Patrick Chukwuemeka Okogwu Jr.

I'm not sure it's just that she's too old - wasn't Olly Murs in the overs cateogy too? It's just that she's, well, rather dull and uninteresting, and really, the only reason she won is because the other acts were pretty dreadful. There have been far superior middle-aged women in previous series that didn't get as far in the competition simply because the acts they were competing against were better. Brenda for series 2 for example.
I scored 19/20 on the quiz - I got the question about Leona's mum wrong.

The film you're looking for is The Opposite of Sex. I'm sure of it.

I really can't see why Jim is such an outright favourite to win. I mean, I don't fall on the Linda side of the fence - far from it - but Jim has still been a miserable old fart for the majority of his time in the house.

Nicholas will most likely win, so not sure why anyone's expecting him to be in the bottom two. For the exact same reason that Leon Jackson won.

So glad Hannah Cockroft is on the list - two golds at the world championships this year, plus a fabulous personality to go with it. Rather than Andy Murray, who performed incredibly well in his sport, but is generally a bit of a twunt.

Did 8 people really vote for Andy Murray?
