[LOL AOB 🤣🤣 Always a good reason to avoid them. Bit of veiled ‘Willy waving’ going on - look what kit I’ve got and look what race I’m doing....
There’s the odd thread on here like that too 😉]

ha ha - maybe. There's also a twitter page where similar comments are to be found as well.
Look, I just popped back to say that my comment may've come across as a bit sniffy - it was not the intention and the internet is a great tool for finding out these type of things.
(And at this point I must send out huge appreciation to KatieB for a thread she wrote on many years ago which sorted out my TFL issues just prior to a marathon)
But, there's about a kagillion pages/threads already about such things as what to eat on a run, and if an organiser has put together race information or a website, it's well worth taking the time to read the things...

[Strikes a chord AOB - I'm part of a team that helps with on the day delivery of a few races up here - the answer to about 90% of the questions asked in the week or two before each of those could be prefaced with 'As it states in the details you've been issued....']

If I’d known how difficult you lot would be to organise I wouldn’t have agreed to do it. Just do what you’re bloody told and stop questioning everything.

Dear Polar cruise tourism advertisers: I can guarantee you will NOT see Lenin's bust from any guided Antarctic cruise, no matter how great your guides are, given that it is at the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility (i.e., the point on the entire continent furthest from the ocean) and over 3km above sea level. The Soviets most definitely did not get there on an Antarctic cruise either.
[I cut and paste so you can share my horror at this outrageous false adevertising:
"Lenin's bust
Yes, it's Vladimir Lenin's bust and you can see it on an Antarctic cruise. It has a plaque to honor the 1958 Soviet Union's 'Pole of Inaccessibility' Antarctic cruise.']

You do realise that my productivity goes through the floor when you send me an email like that, because I spend the next few hours pondering just how close I can come to telling you to **** off.

Yes, actually I have booked them in with reception, because I pay a lot more attention to detail in the workplace than you do. You could probably have picked a more diplomatic way of putting it than your actual tone, which came across like a senior person with bullying tendencies ticking off a junior person with a track record for cocking things up. I am the senior person here and if I did have bullying tendencies I'd be writing this to you rather than venting it on the internet to make sure that whatever response I end up writing to you is a little more measured.

[measured response earned me a "sorry" and a reason why the question was asked at all - which should have been in his first email of course]

I'm very sorry to hear you are leaving my workplace after the best part of two decades. Working with you has always been such a joy and I've never doubted your integrity or honesty in all that time.
[alternatively, depending on how one interprets the meta-levels of TYWTSBC]
Off you fuck now. I'll help you pack.
