I played rugby & football. yes football is a more skillful game, however Rugby much more a team game. Shandon I'm with you! Not because you're a boxer, ok, because you're fighter.. What position of the meatheads did you play? Big coach lad would tell me to stand on the side of the scrum (flanker?) and punch anyone who came near me from the other team. Went to see my nephew play a couple of times and it seems a much cleaner game now. Shouts of "deck him" etc wasn't taken well by parents. Also played number 8 and occasionally fullback. Good camaraderie. Plenty of of us in the team didn't get on but as soon as a game started you'd scrap like mad for each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I've been meaning to say this too! Stick in at the Muay Thai and when you're next over, track him down and knock him out (though Bairnardo and I have a gentleman's agreement not to target his fine face and handsome gnashers). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I'm watching my boy. I went for 2 years a couple of years ago and had to give it up due to tendonitis of the elbow which I'm sure was caused by hyperextension of my tendons when I was punching fuck out the bag. I'm watching it just now though and getting the buzz back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I live in a new build flat which is ridiculously well insulated. Money wise it's great as I've never had (and never will) put the heating on. However, at night it is fucking boiling - even now in winter I leave both windows open fully all day when I'm out so it is as cold as possible when I get home but by the time I'm going to bed it's already warm again and whilst it's bearable now I'm dreading summer. How can I avoid boiling to death at night? TL;DR - my flat is boiling at night, is anyone aware of any gadgets/tricks for keeping your bed cool? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did this happen? Don't quote me on this but I believe if your house is that well insulated it will protect you from any outside heat. Either that or it will be like a furnace inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go and sit in the car with the air con on for a while when I lived with somewhere with proper summer. A bedside fan. A fan with an ice bucket. Become a naturist.

I have no idea if it's to do with insulation or whatever, I just assumed that because it's a new build, but it certainly does not keep out heat and is fucking boiling no matter what temperature it is - even though right now it's about 8/9 degrees outside, and I leave the windows open, after closing them for a couple of hours the inside temperature is above 20.

Yes it claims it's 16 degrees but I don't believe it for a second, considering when I open the window to the outdoors at 8/9 degrees it feels gloriously cold. Also doesn't help that the layout of my flat means the air con blows outwards in the living room away from the bedroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
