Very good, in term of arriving somewhere no. But I really enjoy running. Alone with my thoughts, seeing various markers pass me by, the freedom, just love it, then there is of course the fitness level and my personal satisfaction, not to mentioon my cardio. To many people when they get to old age (if they make it) just do so little (not all) but a lot, well thats not me.Do you ever get anywhere??.....
TFC is better than such horrible homophonic remarks - completely out of line this comment!You seem desperate to get strange men on their knees.
Ah Baz, you clearly don't have the superior insight of

. More often than not, just before a premiership football game starts, there is a already a period of standing silence or applause, for a dear departed person. Therefore, in order to have impact, the gesture against racism needs to be different.

hasn't been able to answer my simple question, perhaps I might repeat it. I am dying to tap into his self-proclaimed 'superior insight'. Here it is again:

What is the relevance of Prince Harry in this?

Q. (for
Come on, it's not hard.
Do you take the knee before a game of FIFA?
...but you've found time to make several other posts! In any case, thank you for taking time out of what looks like a massively heavy schedule to respond to little old Potartoe. Maybe your superior intellect needs a bit more time to work out why footballers are taking the knee, which I'm happy to give you.
What is the relevance of Prince Harry in this?
What specific BLM message?
What's the political message, in the statement below? Point it out, be specific?
I've asked numerous times now, without a single answer, what part of that message is offensive? What part of that message is political? What part of that message do you disagree with? Why would you boo this message? Why would you boo anyone that supports this message? Yet to have a single one of those questions answered, doged liked a fucking bullet.
This campaign isn't having such a negative response, it's fucking global and participated by many millions. I don't recall anyone applauding players as they did their warm-ups in their Kick it out t-shirts to the splattering of fans that chose to get to their seats early before a game. It's engaged people that weren't before, I'll call that impactful.
Maybe you can answer this simple question:It's divisive tokenism that is absolutely synonymous with the fake civil rights movement black lives Matter
If the Fa or the BBC think they can simply disassociate BLM and the gesture and people will just accept that it's naive at best.
If you believe all that waffle you wrote you'll boycott the Olympics

may have an answer, but he needs more time to think about it.So they don't upset the sponsors or cause upset, none of them did it off their own back pre Floyd did they?Maybe you can answer this simple question:
Why do footballers take the knee before a match starts?
Is that your best answer, or do you want to have another go?
Your turn fatty
You deserve it Chubbs, Potato, Tart because you're so sincere and an erm, honest debaiter.Maybe you can answer this simple question:
Why do footballers take the knee before a match starts?
Resorts to insults = lost the debate. Thanks for that.
I see your superior intellect doesn't extend to answering the question. Still need more time to think about it?
Insight = intellect? Where do you get this nonsense from?
