Nope The Bleep test is 20m shuttles for time incrementally getting faster.

Bronco test is supposed to be shuttles of 20m, 40m & 60m five times over as fast as you can.

There was a guy on the beach yesterday who did 1 hour of Bronco tests, with a 100m warm down between tests. Did the 20/40/60, then walked out for 50m and back. Altogether, with the other exercises he did, he was on the beach for almost 2 hours in temps over 30* giving the full on... Sub-Saharan African, he was without a doubt the most amazing athlete I've ever watched. Built like a marathon runner but with some muscles over the top.

We do get a lot of pro sports people doing their winter training around here, but we're almost in July now. Maybe he got here for the winter but got caught up in the lockdown.

How dare I question why fans from another infected city who were 2weeks ahead of us were allowed to travel to this country/city ??

Many of whom would've flown into many other cities than just Liverpool.

FWIW, theres NO EXCUSE for those who congregated yesterday at the Pier Head.
I'm certain the tosser who was firing fireworks at the Liver Buildings last night will be caught and dealt with by the Authorities. Embarrassment to the city.


Looks like the Old Bill have caught up with the culprit.

Not even a Scouser then! Typical Englishman.
The video that’s doing the rounds on social media of people attacking the police definitely sound like scousers rather than your “typical Englishman”.
Not sure about the ones attacking a ambulance.
Either way they’re scum.

LPool fans on Clapham Common last night?

My instant reaction is anger. Then I start to wonder how it could happen, is our society so uncaring? Can there be a practical concern, access to bins etc? Perhaps simple herd mentality- one person does it, the rest follow. There surely must be studies and formal papers available that go someway to explain this type of behaviour.

We’ve removed all the bins on the Golf Course as per England Golf guidance and every “bin hole” has had rubbish place in them.
This is adults bringing drinks/food to the course in a bag then ignoring all the signs and dumping their rubbish on the course, put it back in your bag and get rid at home, the bins are removed for safety reasons, ok it’s dumped in a 3ft circular hole, but them holes also have to be emptied! It’s sheer idleness.

Oh and being told yesterday by my lovely boss (no kidding) that someone at head office had found a way to add the "vunerable" deliveries to the normal system. "you mean like how I told one of our mangers last week and who said it couldn't be done?"

How some businesses in this country make money I just cannot believe.
