Tried to increase the redirection loops limit. Changed nothing. It's becoming pretty annoying... Posted on the Site Development forum. Don't seem to be the only one.

Delighted that Bolt won though and hope that he is clean. The 200 will be brilliant now. For those of you interested in athletics I recently read a brilliant book called Two Hours by Ed Caeser which is about the efforts of the top Africans (Kenyans and the odd Ethiopian) to bring the Marathon record closer to that figure. Amazing that the four minute mile was considered impossible right up to the moment it was achieved, suddenly it was being broken regularly.

The first time someone runs under 2 hours is just going to be ridiculous I don't think people realise how fast they are running an 18s 100m is tough for a lot of people let alone doing over 420 of them without stopping! I had the chance to train with the Kenyan runners (friend was a PT and had worked with them before) but I left before I had the chance that would have been pretty cool. At first I was like ah man thats amazing then after thinking about it I was like oh dear god what have I said yes to I was a little relieved I didn't get the chance to embarrass myself!

Another time he explains how he was along for a training run with a group of elite Kenyans (he's on a motorbike) and some middle aged geezer is on his way to work wearing a work outfit and boots, the guy just joins in with these guys who are running at 2 and a half hour marathon pace and keeps up for a mile before breaking off to go to work.

Swiper the fox wrote: » Strange place to put this request but I realise that some of you are very tech savvy. I got a new phone recently, cheap HTC job, it works fine with wifi but it won't connect to the internet otherwise like my old phones did. I'm pretty sure that it did connect for the first few days I had it but I'm not 100% sure. It's a ready to go, I've looked everywhere in the settings but can't find the problem. Is there something I can do or do I need to take it up with Vodafone. I'll be out all day tomorrow and my wife hates me stealing her phone every 5 minutes.

Does this warrant its own thread to find out or should it be brought to a mod? Gameweek 7 could be ideal with most teams playing on the Saturday (26th)

If you can't find the settings, let me know your phone model and android version and i can talk you through it.http://deviceguides.vodafone.ie/web/htc-one-v/explore/internet/set-up-your-phone-for-internet If the APN settings are correctly set for Vodafone then you should only have to tick the box on "Mobile Data" under the "mobile networks" menu for it to connect. A nice idea but i don't think it will work as the regulars here are spread out all over the country.
Swiper the fox wrote: » Legend, thank you. I didn't go through all that but when I went into APN settings I was on 2G only, have changed that now but I am connected via wifi at the moment, do I need to leave my current location to check if Its going to work for me?

Could be a bit of craic - running through captaincy options, team selections, differentials for the GW, maybe going through common questions that have been asked throughout the week on here etc. Could have different members on every week to keep it fresh.
zarquon wrote: » It would be great craic. The thought crossed my mind as i came across a live podcast last week which i linked during the 3pm games but it was utter crap so i turned it off as the banter here is much better. I listen to the scoutcast which is decent but there is a durge of poor FPL podcasts out there. I rate some of the players on here much more highly than the people running some of the podcasts. In fairness it's not just an issue with poor quality podcasts. I see people with one good season mixed in with a record of poor finishes running their own blogs and largely followed twitter feeds offering crap advice, all based on their flash in the pan top 1k finish.
