The Teaboy May 2013 10:37am, 21 May 2013 7,394 posts	0 The Teaboy A small thermonuclear device would be much quicker and make the town far more scenic.
Frobester May 2013 10:38am, 21 May 2013 22,585 posts	0 Frobester True, but HS2 would provide employment for the thousands of ne-er-do-wells clogging up Bedford Park on a Monday evening smoking dope...
The Teaboy May 2013 10:41am, 21 May 2013 7,395 posts	0 The Teaboy One reason why this will happen is that they are only ever going to build HS2 through places that people might actually want to go. And nobody wants to go to Luton. And do you really want to give people a chance to escape - have you seen the people there?
Frobester May 2013 10:43am, 21 May 2013 22,587 posts	0 Frobester Ok, thermonuclear device it is then. With a smaller relative timed to go off in Bedford Park just before, say, 6.30 on a Monday or Wednesday evening.
Shadow May 2013 10:45am, 21 May 2013 1,085 posts	0 Shadow Both Fleetwood and Blackpool marathons are soul-destroying. 4 friggin times I past the Pepsi Max ride in the blistering heat a few years back - wouldnt even go back to do the half
DeeGee May 2013 11:08am, 21 May 2013 14,313 posts	0 DeeGee I'm sure many people will disagree with me, but I found Brighton Marathon to be really quite uninspiring. They managed to shoe-horn 26.2 miles of running into about 6 miles of seafront, including running past the Pavilion three times and a lap of a park. There were lots of out and back sections making up distance as well.

Vicksta May 2013 11:38am, 21 May 2013 6,893 posts	0 Vicksta Grunty Fen half marathon. Sells out every year as it is so flat, but long, straight, seemingly endless roads next to fields. Dullsville.
Frobester May 2013 11:39am, 21 May 2013 22,590 posts	0 Frobester Seconded, Vicksta. Especially dull and progressively more of a slog in the very hot weather. Wind swirls round in every direction too.
