Not very well I should imagine, but it is a symbolic move and the rumblings of things to come from other organisations.
I should imagine direct imports to Ireland from Israel will stop… but as soon as the goods enter the Schengen zone elsewhere, there’ll be very little to stop them without controls at the zone entry point (unlikely) or inspections at the Irish border (unlikely again).
Happy to be corrected though.
The BBC seems to annoy the extremea of folk in the UK. The left claim it to be a Tory mouthpiece; the right claim it to push left agenda.
If you’ve got the opposing ends moaning like fuck then I figure they’re doing something right.
(edit: BBC, not NBC, no idea why my phone’s gone full American)
I suppose everyone has their own preferences. If people reaaaally want to wear their Death Run 69420miler UltraPersistence shirt to a two-lap-round-the-village local 5k race then go wild I guess, ain’t nothing stopping you, just feels a bit tone deaf to me.
As for wearing running shirts, I guess it depends. I have a few plain Brooks or New Balance shirts that I just enjoy wearing on warm days, or even a Disneyland Paris wicking shirt that’s just quite comfortable.
That said, I personally purposefully don’t wear any of my “achievement” finisher shirts, I just hang them up above my gym mats in my garage - perhaps as a source of inspiration.
Having a “favourite” running gear is awesome though. I’ve got a couple of shirts and pairs of shirts myself and it’s awesome having a set of gear that just works when you’re out on tarmac.
Yeah absolutely, you’re on to something there friend!
One of my verrrry minor bugbears is people who show up to 3k or 5k fun runs wearing gear promoting events well above the event’s level.
Like “okay dude, that’s a nice Antarctica Marathon t-shirt but it’s not going to make you look cooler in the Buttfucknowheresville Gala 5k”, or “settle down Mrs London Marathon windbreaker over your Kona Ironman tech tee, you’re going up against someone with a cotton T-shirt from Asda and thick shorts that are going to build up enough charge to power a small African country”.
Big respect to the effort they put in to earn the gear, but who are they honestly trying to impress?
Well fuck me, every day’s a school day. Thank you.
