Cheers lads, think I'll stick with the pacer then and see how it goes. Mostly stuck to the plan with the odd missed run now and again. Confident enough so I'll see how it goes.

Anyone remember the spotlight programme about the Holylands? Some craic explaining that to the parents. It was around the mid 2000s. Best days of my life and made some great friends along the way.
There was a few, one of the wrecking and one on the state of the houses that followed.
I was down in those days - Declan Boyle was the one got the brunt of that, he converted a load of houses into 3 floor flats and some of the rooms didn't meet basic regulations. I know a few boys got their money back over all that, Belfast council into houses with measuring tapes, the lot.
The one with the wrecking was bad enough viewing, men playing hurling up the street....only thing surprising was they were Tyrone boys 😂
St Patricks day was the day I hated the most down there though, the Holylands just became an excuse to behave like animals....majority students, but there were a right lock just landed that day for the carnage.
Still though, come those days in April and May and the sun out, being a student in Belfast was as good as it got.
