Ooh! I've thought of one: the Dovedale Dash is most certainly a race (because it records the winners in each category and awards prizes, and the people who run it are trying to be faster than the people around them) but it doesn't record finishing times (there is a big clock and you are invited to take note of your own if you give a shit) or places (they hand out finish place certificates, but not particularly in the right order and no-one cares much).
More like Jessie Owens and Tom Finney back then MNW
As a Preston North End fan I can think of no greater complement Philomena than to be compared to the great Sir Tom Finney. He had long retired when I started watching PNE but I have seen much footage and heard many a tale from my old man. Not only a great footballer but a real gentleman.
Unfortunately a fairer comparison on both counts would be Richard Dunne!
you can have people all over the world racing to be the first one to do something in numerous fields......
the first to prove some stupid theory or the race to be first unicorn in space..........
so you don't need to be in the same vicinity to race each other......and no one records the time it has taken for you to do it as you could start 20 years later than someone else and still in the same race.......
What was the chances of aiming that at a Preston North End fan. I must admit that to me Richard dunne is a 70s boxer but thanks to google I now know better.
Yes it does. Once I had a fridge which had a setting where the light would stay on even when the door was closed (WHY?! you might well ask). We only realised after weeks of the cheese going off really quickly.
Comments
"Have you ever come last in a race".
"...actually, was it even a race?"
"Novelty races..."
I think RW is trying to distance itself from eightlane and let's run. Those elitist bastards!
I don't thinking it's working out in quite the way it was expected to either, Lit
Actually, in case this is going in the mag, I have a comment: you need to remove the comma between 'place' and 'real'.
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Selective quoting of definitions is a neat tactic. How about:
...
2. move or progress swiftly or at full speed. "I raced into the house" synonyms:
hurry, dash, run, rush, sprint, bolt, dart, gallop, career, charge, shoot, hurtle, hare, bound, fly, speed, zoom, go hell for leather, pound, streak, scurry, scuttle, scamper, scramble, make haste, hasten, lose no time, spank along, really move
You appear to be referring to the verb where as previous references were to the noun
XX1 is correct. The thread title includes the indefinite article "a" so clearly refers to the use of the word race as a noun.
Can't we debate the use of beetroot instead? That's what proper runners are talking about!

Not a fighter I know a great deal about but if he managed to land at least one punch on the chin of Ali then must have been pretty good
Heh, some people could start an argument in an empty room
But Nick surely the statement is both true and untrue. A classic case of Schrodinger's Cat.
Could Shrodinger's cat argue ?
Yes and no.
Does it matter if the fridge light is on ?
Yes it does. Once I had a fridge which had a setting where the light would stay on even when the door was closed (WHY?! you might well ask). We only realised after weeks of the cheese going off really quickly.
Was there a cat in the fridge? (Will we ever know?) They emit a lot more heat than small light bulbs.
She only noticed when she went to a wedding and tried to take a video with the butter
Cats emit more than heat, trust me. No wonder the cheese went off.
Someone wrapped up some cheese and gave it as a Christmas present to us once. Weeks later on Christmas day
Obviously not a 'close' family member then?
I don't think they really needed to.
Well, if nothing else, Ben's request has made a thread which has been the highlight of my day.
I thought we had a masturbate thread once. KK posted three times a day
