    I'm following woohoo's rigorous exercise programme, and I don't think I've ever looked better, even though I say so myself....

    I like to take time out for my day to help the CUK community. If that's wrong I don't want to be right.

    I "run" every morning, takes me 25 minutes to reach the office.

    Which is surprising, since I'm mostly working from home these days. Maybe I need to get my fitness checked out?

    92 miles is a bit of a long run every morning and evening

    I think I've also got a spinning USB HDD in my bag - that should probably be migrated to be fair!

    Either way, I definitely wouldn't be taking my own laptop on a run!

    Well, I know I can (Alright, could, I'm a bit out of training) run a decent cross country 10 miles with around 15kg of luggage. But, it's really not good for a laptop to be running with it and I still have spinning disks!

    That and showering at work and dealing with getting shirts there is a PITA.

    The other thing is that I much prefer to run on an evening. I've never got this thing of running in the morning being a good start to the day - I always feel very much like I got up early and went for a run. I.e., tired, worn out and in no mood for work.

    In theory the type that attacks your lips and the type that attacks your genitals are two different types. So in theory good to go? Now to remove one more rib so I can become a master of analingus.

    I guess I could buy a cheap 2nd hand laptop and leave it at clientco for when I'm there. What do you do?
    I drive a car?

    Not if you do them both equally
