best card ever:

Yeah sames. I'm getting £9.25 an hour, and an nhs pension where I work! As opposed to min wage anywhere else! It's a pipe dream, telling them to stuff it up their asses. Would only happen if I won the lottery XD

They're getting married 5 minutes down the road from where I live, woot. Such a fun thing to do

I can see both sides of the argument, part of you wants to stay and ride it out 'til they fix the problem, and part of you doesn't want to have to endure the soul destroying ride. Been there so many times.... Public sector are especially corrupt and some of the behaviour is an utter disgrace.

Would people believe a woman runs the worlds largest pokemon site? #MissionSerebii

get you!!! Good luck

oh yeah I forgot why I came here My car was manufactured in 2001, so its a fair age. Get a letter in the door today saying that my car needs to be recalled because "there might be a possibility that, in the event of a crash, the front passenger airbag may deploy abnormally" so uh took you nearly 12 years to work that out??? on a car they stopped manufacturing in like 2006!! Oh well, at least its the passenger seat Aye but they don't punish staff who haven't done anything wrong, they investigate it. Stuff like that is usually because they haven't enough staff on. If people don't complain NOTHING ever gets done.

Moogle, that's a shambles, you should file an official complaint about that treatment. >_< I mean like, you have your wits about you... what would it be like for some poor half senile patient :/

Howdy, sorry i'm late to the party, I've been very lax about posting here recently. Enjoy your stay! @Animal My mum is a BCFC supporter so you're one of two

First time I've been in the squat rack area all by myselfs! I'm kinda a bit socially anxious so I've never gone there myself, I usually go with my personal trainer. Big achievement for me. Went for a first thing session and it was kinda quiet. Managed to get me a wee space in the squat rack (my gym has two) and then jumped onto the bench afterwards. Love that my gym is so close to my work. 7/half 7 was still quite busy but come 7.45 everyone was shuffling on to work. I'm like 2 minutes from work so I could take it easy, didn't have to leave til half 8. Started Stronglifts 5x5 so it was a good excuse to get in there and not be scared =P So stronglifts is an alternation between two exercises, 3x a week. A Squat 5x5 Chest Press 5x5 Row 5x5 B Squat 5x5 OHP 5x5 Deadlift 1x5 Today I did workout A - with 40kg / 30kg / 30kg. Squats and bench were quite comfortable, but rows were too easy. Each time you do an exercise you're supposed to add on 2.5kg (if you fail you go back down 2.5kg, and just keep going til you get the next one) but I think I'm gonna be a little slower than that.

Goooood luck moogles

epic wins. If you can't have a wee cheeky day off on your birthday life ain't worth living

My car is in that situation, 50k on the clock, 12 years old. No major repairs (about 300ish in stuff outside of the normal service in 3 years) but I fear that something big will come soon =( Just gets to the point where even if the engine was perfect, the entire structure of the car falls to bits. I love my car and I'd hate to ever part with it =(

sounds really petty and silly, however... my quads and hamstring muscles have grown so much that my jeans no longer fit... so now I'm living in the baggy trousers that do fit. I am so against buying a size up out of damn principle...!

did you two somehow merge together???? o_O I was SO confused there. P.S beard, hello der

I have a long back and short femurs so it is pretty difficult for me to hold it all together and keep the bar against my shins... but it is the most efficient way to lift so I'm gonna keep at it for now. I just need to keep practising. My pt is very good with instruction so i've not got problems that way, its just getting it into my head and being able to do it without overthinking. Also on another note, I noticed that I've actually got visible definition in my hams and quads.. yet I barely have biceps.... EVERY DAY IS LEG DAY.

PT had a 5-5-5 rep set of cleans, ohps, and back squats for me today =( maybe it was the way I trained (less pyramid style, more reps) but my cleans/ohp have got bad.... I didn't feel like I couldn't do it, it was the pain in my wrists that held me back. I can hold them stretched in a back squat position ok, but moving it (clean) or forcing weight directly through it (ohp) was impossible. I coulda squatted all day no problem. I'm the opposite to no leg day guy Re deadlifts: I find it quite hard to get into a stance which gets the bar dragging up my legs. I can do a good 115kg with form that is not as good. (the bar is nowhere near my legs but doing it all right) I'm getting the correct form into my head and I feel like I can do it, but there is point blank no way I could do 115 with it... And the leg dragging thing is supposed to be more efficient?? I feel a bit wick in the starting position with everything pulled in tight, its like I'm fighting several forces and trying to hold it all together. I really find that its all about working it out in your head and the form, not the weight which I struggle.

Next day delivery doesn't really apply to/justify the cost for delivery to northern ireland... as I found out. Amazon advertises the "want this by 14th June, order before 2pm" etc. So I ordered something, paid the several pounds delivery, and it was late! Not only that I had ordered some stuff supersaver around about the same time, and it was there before...! I wrote a complaint to amazon, they refunded my postage. Really bugs me that they are so big on the promised delivery dates but they don't make it clear that its for certain areas of the UK only. When I ordered there was NO exceptions warning on it, now they have some pathetic wee hidden warning somewhere... It's a joke. But then again its a far cry from the days of £15 surcharges to post over here... there was a time when amazon were the only ones not doing that

I'm with the ask her out side of the argument. It really is not a big deal if she says no.... If she gets all weird and ew about it she's obviously not a nice person (who considers others feelings), therefore not worth even being acquainted with.

aw how cute :3

HUGLY Love it! Can't wait to see more! You can doooo eeeeet! Get in the weight room, lift heavy, and build dem muscles, that's my advice!

*facedesk* these last few pages (read: entire thread) are killing me! JUST DOOOOO EEEEET SEREBIIIII. My sister is the anti geek, and she still loves pokemon....!!! so what does that say? You've got the perfect age group here, most people in their early/mid 20s know exactly what pokemon is and have awesome memories from their childhood. You aint bad lookin, if you stop the creepy pyscho killer thing you had going on (can't remember if you changed that or not) and just ENJOY going out, ENJOY meeting people and ENJOY being young. Its not all about MUSTMEETFUTUREWIFE. Stop being miseraaabbllle.

Yeah I'm kinda half assedly trying to lose weight. My body seems to naturally want to stay in the 125-130kg region, i'm going through a recomp, getting smaller and BICEPS Got a holiday planned in about 2ish weeks so I'll not be starting a strict diet yet, when I come back I'm going to do a targeted ketosis diet for a while. I seem to lose weight consistently with a higher fat/lower carb diet, and targeted ketosis has the benefit of carb loading before and after training. No carbs non training days = motivation to go to the gym

bennnnnccchhh press. My pt was teaching me how to, and decided to show me the reason why most men like doing bench pressing so much....by wiggling his pecs, while i was in the middle of my set. Can't say my training sessions aren't fun lol My right rotator cuff is baaad. My right arm is the strong one in my overhead pressing, but with benching its like a feeble twig >_< Guess I'll be evening out the strength in my arms lol

aww Ine she's a lovely cat
