Merry QRistmas! It's our pre-Christmas pod and last of 2023. Nicola engineers and contrives to make an arbitrary a thing and Danny breaks the speed limit at Belton House parkrun in Lincolnshire. Happy New Year everyone!

Lightest. Tightest. A Tail Walker issue, Nicola skipped and slipped around Middleton Woods parkrun and Danny has very little to say.

Eyes and ice, nuanced exceptions and Chrome extensions. Plus Nicola had a magical time at Bramshall Road parkrun in Uttoxeter and Danny had a gawjus family reunion at Tamworth Castle Grounds parkrun.

A yin and yang of experiences for our presenters this week! Nicola had some challenges in completing her Full Ponty at Pont y Bala parkrun in North Wales whilst Danny had a whirlwind of fun celebrating things at Quakers Walk parkrun in Wiltshire. They also ponder virtual run reports too.

Nut diction, lots of Things, Poppy plays hardball with Nicola at Chevin Forest parkrun and Danny asks if you wish to take the blue pill or the red pill regarding Aston Hall parkrun in Birmingham.

We've gone nuts this week! More volunteer chat, social-sharing mixed-messaging conversation, plus Nicola loved Thorp Perrow parkrun and Danny enjoyed a sensational Sence Valley Forest Park parkrun.

Be a wise old owl and give this a listen! The controversy over barcode number A9000000 is covered, parkrun has its 100-millionth participation, Nicola runs with Poppy for the last time and Danny plays around in a wet Belvoir Castle parkrun.

Boo. We have a listener's dream, we dissect a post, Nicola loved her trip to Boston parkrun for their 8th birthday and Danny celebrated with a 250fish at Five Arches parkrun (or is it four?).

Danny articulates his thoughts on volunteering whilst having a flashback plus defines further funnel factors, there's a parklies t-shirt story, we mourn the loss of Queen Elisabeth, we wonder about buzzspeak, Nic Nic stayed close to home and Danny had a ferry good time at Dover Waterfront parkrun in Kent.

In this special edition of the pod, Mark puts questions from pod supporters to Nicola as we learn all about her three months in the Emerald Isle. They discuss parkruns, road trips, life journeys as well as understanding which 'Derry Girl' Nicola is most like.
