Well done on the running, how far was it in Km? I am trying to build up to a half marathon myself by just seeing how long I can keep going for, last week I managed 20.5kms in 2 hours.

So I think I am close but not there yet.

A half-marathon is about 21K so you're pretty much there good going

Great time of the year to be running, it's not much fun in winter.

Oh good, it was on a treadmill though so a bit easier. I think I will try to enter one sometime this year.

Good luck! i would like to do something like that and raise a bit of cash for charity but i havnt got the motivation to do months of training.

Today i got bored so started trying to find funny songs like Rodney Carrington Don't Look Now.

Does anyone know of any funny songs? Ive got a couple but not sure what else there is.

Half Man Half Biscuit. Not sure if you would call them funny songs or just stupid songs. This one is about an obscure Eastern European football team who don't exist anymore.



Warren Zevon did some wryly amusing stuff as well. Get onto Spotify and check out "exciteable boy", "Roland the headless thompson gunner", "lawyers guns and money" etc.

Junior Brown sung a song called "My wife thinks you're dead" which describes an inconvenient encounter with an ex...

And Billy Connolly's "talkin' blues (what's in a name)" which features the story of a "lovely couple, the name was McCann, the gave birth to a child, a fine young man..." whom they christen Jenghis. "Now life's pretty hard as an ordinary man, but it must be pretty hellish as Jenghis McCann!"

Yes RIP, hopefully he'll get more peace now than he's had for the last 20yrs.

Check it out. I've been waiting for someone to upload this to Youtube for years.

Permanent resident on my all-time top 10 list. Give this a few listens, if you don't love it after that I'll be amazed

(For those who don't know, the core of Split Enz went on to become Crowded House kind of).


Truly marvellous song. Play LOUD:

Does anyone else here use Spotify? If you dont, you should, it really is an amazing resource.
