Jambomo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) I decided I needed to lose weight and start eating better and exercising more. I started on the 13th May and have lost just over a stone as of today Edited July 9, 2020 by Jambomo 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I’ve managed to appear on a mental health charity CD alongside 80s synth pop duo Blancmange (think Berocca treadmill advert). It’s sold out but digital download still available. All proceeds to the Campaign Against Living Miserably (ironic I know) so if you’ve a couple of quid to bung at them, here you go: https://www.thecalmzone.net https://wormholeworld.bandcamp.com/album/a-picture-of-good-health-31 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have contributed to why he tapped out at 11PM, in hindsight. Greenie just for that. That Arkwright's Shop and Space Marine painting are amazing, BTW. Always been in awe of folk who can do that kind of shit. After five minutes I'd be destroying the place like yon laddie from Chewin' the Fat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha cheers Dave, some of the painting skills you see online are outrageous, takes some patience, but you can get a half decent look with a couple of techniques, find it oddly relaxing and its been a perfect time killer in lockdown As a wee extra, here is my whole army in all its blood-red glory Edited July 11, 2020 by Doctor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first time ever, I've used up my Greenie allocation and it's not even 9:30am here. I must be feeling uncharacteristically chipper. Consider this greenied all the same. I'd be in the exact same boat. I always dreaded receiving an Airfix model for Christmas because I felt obliged to try and make them. The end result always looked like I'd melted it. Neither the dexterity nor the patience for stuff like that. Hats off to those who can do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Was breaking up some furniture earlier and chucking it in a skip. Very therapeutic. Managed to do the classic trick of stamping on a bit of wood with a nail sticking out and got a nail right through the sole of my trainer into my heel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frying pans, mop bucket and brazier were made out of takeaway foil trays. No idea what to do with them, they're probably headed for the loft. Have you guys seen Hereditary? The lady in that makes those kinds of models. Then she starts crawling about on the ceiling like a spider trying to murder her family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to take a heavy wardrobe up a spiral staircase on my own a few months ago; the fucker fell on me and pinned me against a radiator until I could hack my way out with a nearby hatchet I'd been using earlier. It took hours, but breaking that spiteful fucker up into pieces was deeply satisfying, as was piling it up in the back yard and burning it to smouldering ash. I wish I'd known some pagan rites I could have performed while dancing around naked, but alas. Never been so angry at an inanimate object. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I really need to watch Caddyshack sometime. I would've known The Chlamydia Kid was basing his weightlifting act on Rodney Dangerfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
