  1. Thought it was a bit shit tbh.

    Saw the police interrogation twist coming a mile away. Things like this have been done before and in a much less obvious way. Solaris original, Inception or eXistenZ.

    Adding some facebook dystopian paranoia doesn't make it clever or original. Brooker is a one trick pony.

  2. I simply couldn't see it happening. You think the Stranraer committee would give us permission to speak to him this week? Even if compo could be agreed i'd expect them to be as obstructive as possible until sunday morning, and most clubs would be exactly the same.

    I agree with that but it will be interesting to watch their body language on Sat when they shake hands.

    Judging by the performance at Airdrie I think the dressing room has gone, it was quite similar to the Kenny games where the players looked lost.

  3. 'Event happens in Australian Coffee shop, affecting 30 or so people. I'D BEST TAG EVERYONE I KNOW IN AUSTRALIA TO CHECK THEY'RE NOT ONE OF THEM'

    Honestly, even the practicalities of this, on the slimmest of chances it is actually them holed up, are they checking their facebook?

    Fucking griefers min.

    It's classic grief attention seeking tactics and it's really sick and twisted.

    Using an event like this to reflect it as an ego boost and to get some likes on a stupid website.

    Same as 9/11, no connection at all but let's like the facebook page for no reason other than to look like an empath instead of a self obsessed narcissistic grief monkey.

    Sorry but I'm not buying it.

  4. Thanks for taking the time to read through my long post.

    For body fat I'm using a set of scales that measure bf. Not the greatest but it seems to give a rough guide. It is possible that in the right conditions my abs would show but I don't spend ages everyday looking in the mirror at myself obsessing as any setbacks would really a major issue mentally for me.

    If abs aren't totally obvious then I'm guessing 13% isn't accurate?

    Lunges is something I've thought about doing for a while. Will try starting them,even without weight to get proper form first.

    The sandbag idea was to replace the long cv session with ten mins of intense stuff. Bike can get a bit boring tbh.

    I've always felt the need to warm up at bit before weights.

    With regards to splitting the cv with weights, if I was to do some cv first thing then how does that effect eating? Eat breakfast first then cv or vice versa?

    Assuming that exercising on an empty stomach is a bad idea, might burn fat though?

    Thanks again.

  5. Homer: "MMmm, donuts!"

    *Homer scoffs several donuts*

    Lenny: "Hey, Homer, slow down! You're gonna choke, or something!"

    Homer: "Don't tell me how to eat donu-"

    *Homer starts severely choking and banging his fists on the table*

    Carl: "Hey, Homer's choking again. Someone scare him."

    Worker: "That's for the hiccups!"

    *Homer dances around the tea room still choking on the donuts*

    Lenny: "Hey look at this, soft ball starts this week!"

    Homer: "BRUHELEGH! Softball!"

    Easily my favourite scene. Genius :lol:

    Vending machine gags were good too,

  6. I don't know why but hipsters make me angry for some reason?

    Don't mind people dressing differently like moshers or hip hop fans or whatever but they do it for a reason so I can respect that.

    Hipsters just do it to try to be individualistic but in fact all just look exactly the same. Like some stupid reject from a Victorian film. Nice beard ya dick.

    Hipster beards only look cool on massive bald guys built like the rock or genuine rock stars.

    Bunnets only look cool on Del Boy on TV or old guys at the fitba.

    Skinny jeans just look shit on guys.

    Wearing glasses for fashion rather than vision is stupid.

    Stop, just stop.

  7. Ah, cheers. Who the hell decided to 'list' the fire station? Probably a rare architectural form of Neo Fife Deco or something? :unsure2:

    You can't help but see the irony in having the huge and consistently derelict site just opposite it's matching building which was gifted by (and named after) Carnegie, one of the wealthiest men in the entirety of human history.

    That BK used to have a ball pit in the middle of it if I remember correctly.

    Yeah it had one on the left hand side as you walked in.

    Don't know if it's just looking back with rose tinted glasses or not but I used to be quite proud of Dunfermline town centre when I was younger. There wasn't any empty shops and certainly no jakeballs or junkies and there was always quite a few decent independent shops.

    I think the fire in the old coop was the start of the decline. Just to add to the general shiteness of the Dunlop factory area it looks like the Carnegie centre may need redone.

    A have a relative who worked on it and said something about the way the swimming pool was revamped and that I should have been taken down completely and rebuilt and that it was a cheap option.

  8. Not a fan of huaraches nowadays, the black ones would be the only ones I would consider wearing for something like running as they're really comfy.

    Only other nike shoes I have are a pair of Jordan 3s that I've never worn. Looking to maybe punt them on eBay.

  9. Do Malmo's not fall apart? I've been told that quite a few times.

    Not a fan of the Stockholm/Malmo sole. Prefer the London sole.

    That's the thing about Adidas originals, it's basically 1970's technology.

    Look nice though but not sure about any actual function other than fashion. Sambas are terrible quality nowadays too. Went through three pairs in a year after having one decent pair for years. Tongues ripped out, leather split, eyelets burst. Had one pair of Nike gato (cheap shit) and they lasted for two and a half years.

  10. Post up your current stats and your goals and ill be happy to recommend something simple and effective for you. Will do it by pm (no groomer) if you dont want it public. No need to overthink things.

    Ok here goes, will try and break it down to parts.

    Stats

    6'1"

    11 half stone and 13% body fat on a good day.

    Pretty slim but carry a bit a fat, really stubborn to get rid of.

    Goals

    Ideal

    Get up to 12 stone ripped was muscle definition and around 10% or lower fat. Is this possible in six months?

    Diet and exercise current

    Monday

    Breakfast

    Porridge

    Snack

    Some fruit

    Chicken meal with potatoes and veg, ready meal but health option for work

    Yoghurt

    Snack

    Banana

    Pre gym

    Two pre cooked chicken kebabs, just pieces of chicken on skewers

    Tin of tomato soup

    After gym

    One scoop of whey protein

    Will repeat this pattern of eating all week until Friday where I just have a normal healthy three meals day.

    Saturday is a gym day but morning so

    Breakfast

    Smoothie, fruit and porridge

    Gym

    X2 scoops whey protein and meal like salmon and brown rice or a steak for lunch

    After lunch it turns into a bit of a cheat day, usually have a reasonably fat free pizza or healthy Chinese meal like Kung po chicken or noodles.

    Need to relax the diet for one day and admit to having one or two beers and maybe pretzels or some almonds alongside. Maybe have a few chicken drumsticks etc.

    Sunday is like Friday, try to eat three healthy meals.

    Exercise

    I have/do the following

    Exercise bike

    Multigym in garage plus free weights and bench. Weights maximum on multigym is 80kg, have already maxed out on a few exercises.

    Free weights, have maxed out on one exercise, 35kg approx on one dumbbell. Looking to buy additional weights that would take me up to 50kg on each dumbbell.

    Sandbag 20kg, buying a skipping rope soon.

    Exercise mat for core work and abs

    Exercise regime is usually

    Monday

    7pm

    45 mins on bike, try to push myself hard

    Approx one hour lifting weights, I stalled at the same weight due to not eating enough IMO and have now pushed through that in the last few weeks.

    Usual routine for Monday

    Overhead dumbbell pull down 35kg x12 reps x3 vs multigym seated row 75-max weight 15reps then 12 reps then 10 reps

    Dumbbell press 2x 25kg Dumbbells 12 reps x3 vs multigym bar pull down 50kg, 55kg, 60 kg 15,12,10 reps

    Bench dumbbell pull-ups 30kg from floor 15,12,10 reps vs multigym bicep curl 35kg, 40kg, 45kg

    Seated dumbbell curls, free weights. Each dumbbell 18kg roughly. Vs tricep extension with same weight. Can only manage 6 or so reps, much harder than multigym but less weight.

    Legs

    Leg extension 15,12,10 reps 50kg, 55kg, 60kg

    Calf raise struggle with this especially after playing football, only 10kg then 15kg same reps as calf leg extension.

    Basically weds and Saturday are the same amount of exercises but I exclude some and add

    Military press with free weights, multigym pec deck.

    After every gym session I do five mins ab workout copied from youtube or an ap, it's like a warmdown.

    So to sum up

    Monday gym

    Tues ab workout as warmup to five a side

    Weds gym

    Thurs same as tues

    Friday maybe some cardio,bike

    Sat same as mom and weds

    Sunday rest, maybe a walk

    Looking to keep the same routine in terms of days as I can't change it. Also I can't really change the timescale at night.

    Get back from work at five, chill out and have tea about half five. Start workout at half six. Eat about nine at the latest, would knocking everything back half an hour make a difference?

    Saturday is open for change, from 8am till 12 noon, could also swap for Sunday or do both.

    In terms of equipment, I know I would benefit more from going to an actual gym and doing compound stuff but I think I wouldn't keep this up and there's no guarantee of getting on the equipment. Seems like an expensive way just to use a bench press or rack once or twice?

    Can I get some sort of results from using the sandbag and the free weights? Incorporating them into lunges or squats maybe? IMO a dumbbell press isn't too far removed from a bench press.

    I have to be honest and say I have no idea about cardio,when is the best time to do it, for how long and how hard. I like to get properly warmed up and get a sweat on before lifting, not sure why just always done this. Went to a gym in my twenties and did it this way.

    Sorry if this is a bit long winded but if you could make sense of it all and come up with suggestions and improvements I would really appreciate it.

    The advice on diet from before is helping, whey protein and shakes was good advice and work.

    Looking for something I can see results within six months. I have the motivation and long term staying power, went from 13 stone fat and did nothing five years ago to current weight and a decent standard of fitness. Would be good to get to the level or fitness I had in my twenties again. Somehow it ssemd easier back then,I'm mid 30s now and it seems much harder despite eating really clean and not boozing.

    Any advice appreciated.

  11. All I know is I'm totally confused by everything I've read.

    One person says one thing, another person says the complete opposite. Not on this forum but try googling stuff and it just gets stupid.

    I've upped my calories from 1800 to over 2000 and put on half a stone in two months and my fat only went up 1% which says I am doing not too bad. Just cut out quite a few carbs unless they are good ones, again totally conflicting advice on the net and when to eat them.

    Also the whole body split routine or full body workout. Some say it's bollocks others say it's for everyone and most say it's for advanced weightlifters only.

    From looking at your workout it seems like too many things that could be combined into compound exercise if you really want to gain muscle but if you are running a marathon is this what you really need? Look at the good long distance runners they hardly have any muscle at all?

    I'm going to keep on the 2000 calories until the new year and begin a serious few months of cutting and try to get a six pack and maintain the muscle mass. Bought myself a skipping rope and a sandbag and thinking of getting some new weights as I've topped out the basic set I bought on eBay last year.

    I think the best thing to do, in my very limited knowledge, is to have a strict goal and plan and really commit to it. Also don't try to do something daft like bulk and get abs at the same time or wipe out weight training with too much cardio.

    It's all a bit confusing tbh.

  12. Scottish Power

    Two weeks ago email - update your meter readings - monthly bill discounted by £5! Result!

    Friday last week - card through the door, we tried to get your meter readings will be back - last night guy turns up let him in to read meter "ooooh 8278 eh well well, bad time of year to get a bill"

    WTF?

    Said merry christmas bawbag to him as he left.

    Do Scottish Power sit down and think how can we mess people around the most? They continually ask for meter readings at the most dodgy and suspicious times.

    i.e.

    I pay at the start of the month, they ask for meter readings at the end of the month and always into the Winter. My account is at its lowest and I'm using more energy. Why in five years have I never been asked for readings in the summer?

  13. Interesting that air max are still thought of as chav shoes.

    Some of the white ones or the multicolour yeah I suppose but I think the air max 1's are excellent shoes and the basic one colour or less bright ones are really nice. At the football you usually see a whole group of lads with adidas trainers on and it looks ridiculous.

    They're no better than all the super dry clones.

  14. Need to stop buying trainers, went from a practical collection of around eight or so pairs to over twenty in the last year or so.

    Most comfortable trainers for me are air max 1 or addidas zx. Best looking probably Adidas originals but they are so basic.
