I met a number of Crikey, how much staff on an event last year. The amount of actual interaction with them was pretty low, I think I didn't look trendy enough as I'd been awake for over 20hrs and was in Endura shorts, an old tee and a raggy down jacket. I also don't think they do anything for those of us of a less whippet, more pitbull build.

My Latin isn't very good (if indeed it is Latin, which would illustrate the initial premise), but what does "parturient montes" mean?

Searching the internet suggests "Mountains will be labour".

Indeed, thanks. I ran it though google translate, but it didn't come up with anything
Didn't think to actually *google* the term

As if to deliberately cause massive upset to Ian I managed to do 65,000 ft of climbing during my 9.9 mile commute this morning thereby instantly earning the October climbing award on Strava.

1.2 miles of climbing for every mile travelled. Big ring all the way too!
