I used to have to get up at 4AM every morning, commute from Bolton to Southampton by unicycle, do a full days work and then walk back because I only had half share of the unicycle.

Immigrants / Refugees / Asylum seekers.
I'm sat just outside Calais and they're everywhere.
It's so very sad.

My longest commute was Southampton Coventry, but that was only for a week, because there was a big show at the NEC and I couldn't get a room in Coventry. I used to average around 45,000 miles a year, just commuting. I'd do a other 15 - 20,000 private. My longest trip for a meeting was around 1400 miles in one day. My current commute is around 30 miles each way.

A friend of mine has done the Iron Butt 4 times now and holds the record for the smallest capacity bike to finish the rally, an old Zundapp 125cc. The Iron Butt is a 12 day motorbike rally, where the riders have to average at least 1,000 miles a day - although there are bonuses if they can reach outlying points, such as the tip of Alaska and back in the given time.

I haven't seen a good review for Dracula Untold yet, so that's out. I'm curious about Gone Girl but David Fincher is SO overhyped after his first few films, and ridiculously fond of jumping on anything that's already a book or been established by someone else.

SHIELD season 2 seems to be getting pulled from torrent sites - it's a great show now, but they probably lost half their audience with the first half of season one, so maybe not the best move in the world. Especially when season one is still available online legally and illegally anyway.
