  1. I spat my tea out after reading the infected anus insult..... well played sir You must keep us informed with the status of operation sticker buckaroo....!!
  2. I think with underuse vs overuse of muscles / flexibility vs strength there is ALWAYS going to be a fine balancing act and only when you really know your body its weaknesses and strengths will you be able to keep that steady. That's why I love olympic lifting, its a perfect balance of usable real life strength, coordination and flexibility. Yoga's great by the way, but its harder than you could ever imagine lol
  3. I dunno why, but Moogle, you look really grown up. I still have a picture of you in my head from away back in 2008 at the KNEEEEE meet
  4. Those are really nice photos of you @Serebii! well done for not hiding from the camera lol
  5. mmmmmm nrg
  6. They REALLY are!!!! my fingers used to be calloused to hell, but now they're all soft again dammit
  7. Wishing you a speedy recovery mate
  8. Deadddddlifts. Got up to 90kg after a 2 year hiatus. PR before that was 120kg (and that was with a womens bar - smaller diameter) so wont be long before I'm chasing PRs again I can feel the callouses forming again :yay::yay:
  9. Bloody hell.
  10. Yeah I thought as much. Real fireplaces are awesome, and they are still uber common over here (n.ireland) with houses not all having central heating. As well as oil fired heating, my parents fireplace hooks up to hot water and they've got a pump which circulates it all through the central heating system. Meanwhile I'm stuck here with Economy 7......... ugh. Their next door neighbours only have a fire, and no central heating which means they have to put on a fire for any hot water........ totally old school
  11. I want to compete in weightlifting/strongman :-)
  12. Thank you muchly for clearing that up @pratty
  13. I like the tidier bottom tiling. Also cat artwork yay...! Was there a full fireplace there before? (looks like there could have been) That might be the reason why there was so much tiling on the bottom, as you really need it to have a fireguard & protect the floor. I have sorted out my finances today... Got almost 6k to put towards a house, nearly 2 of it was saved by me in the first year of me renting where i am. Hopefully come spring time I'll be able to start looking. Got a smallish budget, so I'd love a place that needs work. Thankfully, unlike my sister, I inherited my dads engineering skills... I will have no trouble doing anything around the house. :-)
  14. I like the BBC but I do think the pricing is a bit much.... For how very very rarely I watch any terrestrial TV I feel like i'm really not getting my monies worth. Most TV I watch are paid channels on sky, like skyone and comedy central - are those required to also have a tv licence? Its really very grey and nobody i know seems to know for definite
  15. Aww Hi Max! <3 tuxies!!! Yes.... I was getting the death stares for laughing instead of rescuing him thankfully he knows to trust me enough that i will rescue him from the bad blanket now.....
  16. Aww Hey max :-) my cat got stuck on the sofa all better
  17. O I totally agree with this (especially when it comes to kinks in the bedrooooom) ....and this... but its still uber shit getting abuse thrown at you for existing, or feeling like a dirty piece of meat with sickos slabbering over me... and i'm not even anything much to look at lets be honest!
  18. Yeah FF and all those "cheaper" gyms are terrible for that kind of thing. They have employment terms/prospectives that really only attract newbie trainers with minimal knowledge - thus that follows through with the kind of stuff you see happening in a gym. No good trainer will ever stay in FF etc because they get better paid offers. I know FF is all based on a self employment ideal, the PTs used to pay about 700 a month in gym rental fees and had to make that back (plus any of their own bills like rent etc) within that month. Absolute con for them. Oh yeah, on another note - i rejoined a gym, just until i get a bigger place of my own. Realistically I haven't the space here but one day i plan to. I was up at the gym on Tuesday past, had my sensible head on as it was my first time back. Here's me thinking I'd do what used to be my warm up.... squats - 5reps bar only, 3 x 3 of 40. Then i think i did 2x3 of 40kg hang clean/p.press. I used to be able to do bar x 5, then keep adding 10kg for 5 reps up til 75kg which i did for 5x5. Mind blown. The glandular fever has fucked me over and i've probably got less muscle and less strength than even before I started weightlifting !!! I was fucking crippled the day after, like no doms I have ever experienced before. Even today 3 full days later i am still aching and struggling to walk normally. Shockingly bad.
  19. QFT without a doubt. Also, staying up late is really not as fun as it used to be........ I always thought the idea of having a job and rent/mortgage to pay would be so scary but its really not. Everything is a blur of meh
  20. I hate bad form, so much. Even if I did have bad form (i don't) they are too scared to approach the blue haired freak in the squat rack :-) I'd rather sacrifice reps/weight over form. Your 1rm is never going to be pretty but at least keep it safe. Rounded back is noooooo. half assed squats... NO you should at least GET to parallel. Bench, now you're just being a dickhead, do it properly. But then I just zone out on everyone else, my focus is me and that bar, not a single other thing.
  21. I really dislike online dating. I think people in general think its easier for women to date online, but its really not. You get all kinds of fuckers chancing their arm. Older men, ones looking a shag, stupid idiots with half a brain cell on a good day, and its evident that they haven't even bothered to look at my profile. I figure, hey just ignore them n that be it, but o no they keep messaging, & ive even had a few sending nasty messages when they don't get what they want. Oh and when I got a guy that I thought was cool, we even dated n got quite serious, then he dropped me outta the friggin sky. *grumbles* I do also agree with Zech's. Don't assume that just cause you're sucessfully talking she or he gonna fall madly in love with ya.... Talk to as many people as possible! alsohifemalelol
  22. I love that @Goafer! So awesome!
  23. Hate to be the one to say this, but you know that's a blatant excuse.. Women are generally bad at being honest/mean when it comes to dating.
  24. I'd love more cats, but I won't be getting any more cats while I have spark. I don't think its fair on him, he still has bad days and even at the best of times I know hes glad to get peace while I'm at work.. Another cat would probably bring back his anxieties... :-( "special" cats are a lot of work and something you should only take on with a lot of experience and patience, but its something i'd do again without hesitation. The reward I get knowing that I am giving sparky the BEST possible life now is something I can't quantify. Buttons' is doing great with hers too, they are so sweet and spoilt to death like my sparky is. And they like me
  25. I feel this way actually. Not long til I'm 30 I think i'm too independent & controlfreakish to accept a relationship. I went so long without one that I developed habits I couldn't get out of!
