Today we had a faller at the parkrun where I RD. Was taking part this week and when I came round the corner and saw them they were already down and immediately someone who didn't know them had stopped to check they were ok and waited with them.

Everytime we've ever had an incident out on course there's always people stepping up to help (including an impressive number of medical professionals when the incident warrants it, happily today's didn't). Other folk had seen someone stop and kept going to tell the next marshal. Person is ok, pulled muscle in the fall but walked them to the finish.

Unlikely the person who stopped is on here and didn't get their name. Still, if you've ever stopped to

If you're driving or cycling stay as far away from Lochend Road as you can. Lights have been either completely stuck on red or letting 5 cars through one way then sitting on red for 5 minutes all day (Saturday 1 Feb). Divert via Restalrig or Easter Road. Expect they'll be like this until Monday when the workers come back. Not helping that there's currently lots of sad Aberdeen fans with no clue where they are, other than 'this road goes home', and are just sat there getting sadder.

Would report it but the phone line is 9-5 Monday-Friday or the emergency number which tells me only to hang on if it's an emergency and sad Dons doesn't feel that urgent tbh.

Came up in another thread and I know there's few of us on here so, if you were there, what was your highlight. Probably best not to share staff names on here, even the absolute hero who spent the entire thing tearing senior management a new one in the chat.

Personally, I loved:

• We didn't think we could meet last year's targets, but then we did, but we don't think we can this year so you should believe us this time
• We haven't budgeted for the voluntary redundancies so...um...
• Sex, drugs, and rock and roll

It would be much more funny if I didn't work here...

If you're looking at a new toilet do not buy a top fix one. It's a detail you can easily ignore if you've never had one. Surely all toilets are fine! I'd even go as far as only buy a house with one if you are happy replacing the whole thing. Just look through this sub for the number of people baffled by the stupid complication they add to a quick tighten.

I'm sure some of you haven't had a problem with yours yet, maybe it's lasted a long time, good for you and I hope it continues. I on the other hand moved into a house where the toilet had a loose seat 1 minute day 1 job, right? Oh you sweet summer child, not a chance.

Had never seen a top fix toilet but worked out how it worked. It was a

See you all in 55 minutes for the tidal wave of 'what was that noise?' posts.
