Reasons to be Cheerful


Recommended Posts

Aye, alright. :lol:

Their first album is a true thing of beauty, an absolute classic. One of my top ten albums I think. Room on Fire was a bit meh, First Impressions of Earth even more so. Any of their new stuff has been pretty shite tbh.

Unless they plan on playing the decent, early stuff, I wouldn't bother.

Their last album was awful, but that's only because they didn't want to stick with their record label; so in a true GIRUY fashion they just didn't bother trying.

I'd say their albums before their last are all great; you mention This Is It which is probably the best debut album I've ever heard, however Room on Fire and FIOE have a few cracking songs on them, they just didn't flow as well as Is This It. Angles get's a bit of a bad rep but I don't know why, it's a tad experimental but it has its moments.

I just want them to write a new album. :(

After realising that I was slowly becoming a fat b*****d I decided to go on a diet last Monday. Weighed myself and was 12st 6lb. Have eaten healthily all week and weighed myself tonight and I've lost 5lb in a week.

My wife is fucking raging :D

I always try and eat healthily plus exercise loads now I'm older, just feel better for it all round. I genuinely don't know how I've never been a huge fat b*****d before however. Was a programme on about child obesity the other day and I watched it thinking to myself they were hardly eating anything. :lol:

In secondary school my diet would consist of;

Biscuits for breakfast. Chocolate digestives.

Break I would have: a pound mixture/chocolate bar/can of cream soda/bag of mccoys

Lunch: one of a half battered pizza supper/chips and cheese/bridie/pie. Another bag of mccoys, more sweets and a can of full fat juice.

Tea: something out the freezer like pizza and chips/fish and chips/chicken nuggets and chips.

Snacks consisted of sweets, biscuits and crisps.

I must of done that for a good 2-3 year in secondary, as did my mates, none of us were ever fat and the only exercise we really done was football training 2 nights a week and a game at the weekend. Thankfully I stopped eating so much shite when I wanted rid of spots etc as I had taken a more keen interest in girls.

If I ate like that nowadays I can't even imagine just how fat I would get and how quickly it would happen. :lol:

Well done on the weight loss though. :P

I don't think I've ever eaten that amount of shite, even when i'm hungover.

It truly is shocking looking back. Today I've had 2 apples, a tin of vegetable soup and a small bowl of quorn mince and veg. That's the norm these days...

I wish I could still get away with it. :(

Blimey Lichters, how you didn't vomit in class or develop diabetes I have no idea!

It is mental the volume of junk and just food in general you can put away in your youth. Keep up the exercise though. A while for you yet but wait until you get to 30. That's when it's starts getting harder to lose or control your weight. Lot of hard work and discipline needed. Or heroin.

One of my mates still eats like that, he gets paid £50 a week plus bonuses to play football. I have no idea how he manages to keep so fit and thin when he is regularly throwing back the crisps and Donner pizzas.

I hope he turns into a right fat b*****d when he's older. :P

I have always struggled with my weight, it goes up, down up down etc.

Lost a bomb last year, then put it all back on slowly, trying to lose it again now.

My big problem is drunken eating. I eat too much shit when drunk. And I ain't giving up my drink

Went out a run this afternoon, expected to struggle but managed a slow paced 5k with absolutely no problem and could have kept going if I had the time. Happy my fitness isn't as bad as I thought it was.

Haha my fitness is very good. I'd manage 5k no bother. I've never been a fat b*****d even with eating shite when younger. I was actually skinnier when I was younger and doing that. My weights perfect just now.

How's that even possible without walking 10 miles every day on a 1000 calorie per day diet? :huh:

I've noticed that I can lose 3lb within 30 secs using electronic scales btw. Not just a problem with mine I've noticed.

DON'T TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!!!

I've shat 1lb before. Sadly enough I weighed myself once right before I took a dump. So add this info. with the news of the scales and in actual fact you've possibly only lost 1lb. And, as I love to say to the arsehole wimen dieters at my work if they claim to have lost 1lb - "Big deal, I've shit a lb!"

:P

It's possible. I can fluctuate between 142-148lbs in a week if I start off with a strict diet for the first few days and then just eat shite up until Saturday. I could then drop to 145 (my ideal weight) by drinking a lot of water, going for a wee jog and walk for around half an hour.

I'll hasten to add that drinking water strips a hell of a lot of weight off you, and so does going to bed earlier.

Some mornings I can wake up 3lbs lighter than I was when I went to sleep. It's brilliant.
