Nowt better than leftover curry. I quite like it cold too, especially when I'm hungover

Their new album is good. New streets is canny too.

I think that's when we'll realise he's a decent player CT. When he's replaced by some player that cost a pittance.

Nutella, banana and vanilla ice cream is nice in a crepe.

Ffs man

Bit unfair to say that until he's had the chance to prove it one way or the other. Age shouldnt be a concern and judging by the fact he's in the first team squad, it isnt. Btw, I'm not saying that he is definitely ready, but I'd love to see him given a go. (More so covering for Jonas, although it looks as though they think he'll end up at left back). fair enough. You did say he should be starting at left wing in your first choice 11 in another thread though. I agree he looks a prospect and should be given a chance but I'd restrict that to cameos off the bench for now unless we're really stretched. He looks a bit light weight at the moment. He should get on the weights and protein shakes

you put him in your team as first choice left winger though CT. not sure what you're basing that on. i hope he turns out to be a good young player like but he's miles away from a first choice spot at the moment.

the chili men recipe is lush and a piece of piss to make. never thought it would have red sauce in it when i ate it in the restaurant like. the yasai itame comes out a treat too.

did you have to pay extra for a happy ending?

mine isn't that fit, which is probably a good thing as some of the post workout stretching can get a bit intimate.

there's plenty of shite trainers out there. just need to shop around. most will do a trial deal for new clients - 3 sessions for the price of two or something so you soon get an idea if they're up to much

it's well worth using a trainer if you find your gains have plateaued. if you can find a good one, they can be just what you need to keep your motivation going. i used to train with a work mate but we ended up chatting as much as we trained and ended up arguing all the time about the programe. the advantage of using a trainer is a good one will be able to design a routine taylor made to meet your goals.

about 25/30 quid a session, depending on how many you sessions you block book. my trainer's a she actually but i feel like bitch slapping her from time to time - like all good trainers, she's a blatant sadist and enjoys seeing her clients suffer. see her once or twice a week. spending the money that i'm saving by not going out so much these days - wife is up the duff so hardly ever go out boozing with mates anymore. i would easily spend that money in a night out on the lash...

my trainer just had me doing a circuit with kettle bells comprising double armed swings, single armed swings, kettle bell push ups into squat thrusts, deadlift into farmer's walks, clean and press with kettle bells, reverse windmills and bent over row. tried to do 15 minutes boxing at the end but could barely keep my guard raised. ruined. edit - in case you've never tried working out with kettle bells, they originate from russia... fucking savage to execute and brilliant for core stability.

spoken like a true prodigy. rpm spinning classes are also an efficient way of burning calories for the same reason. as is 5 a side football, squash...anything that uses squick bursts of 100% effort. steady state cario (long distance running for example or swimming endless laps of a pool) is a bit of a waste of time if you ask me. making it as expolsive as possible with quick breaks in between the work is a much more clever way of training. Depends what you're training for. HIIT 2 - 3 times a week with a couple of long distance runs thrown in-between is the ideal routine for fat loss and improved fitness imo. i think for burning calories while maintaining muscle mass, hiit is the best option. if you do endless steady state cardio you will end up looking like a long distance or middle distance runner - too scrawny innit. the other advantage of hiit is you burn more calories in a shorter space of time so ideal for a lunch break. i actually find 12 minutes is ample for me. after warming up i alternate between a light jog for 60 seconds then 45 seconds sprinting all out, as fast as i can go on the treadmill. another thing i like to do when the weather is better (instead of going for a long run at a steady pace) is to jog down to my local football pitch then sprint the length of it, walk back then repeat until i can't walk. awesome way to burn fat

love that shit

dream scenario

without wanting to turn this thread completely into a jamie olive jizzfest, his pizza dough recipe is the best i've tried. it's well worth investing £20 in a pizza stone too. they only take about 5-8 minutes then and come out like a proper thin crust italian style effort

the stella and regal kingsize don't get a look in these days

what was carrol like for liverpool yesterday then? anyone watch it?

i've definitely become a bit of a gayer when it comes to wine like. used to drink any old shite but i go away with work quite a bit with a french cameraman (who is well into his food and wine) who has got me interested in it a lot more than i used to be. i went wine tasting in santa barbra wine country in california a couple of years ago, which was awesome, learing how to really taste it, look at it, smell it etc. i really got into syrah and pinot noir out there but was less keen on their whites - it was all oaky chardonnays, which i'm not a fan of. i agree alex about price; i'm usually spending around £8-10 a bottle these days. a few of my mates have started taking turns hosting a wine and cheese night - all lads in their 30s bringing a bottle or two each of wine worth at least £20 and a piece of interesting cheese. how pretentiously middle class is that?

Some Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris is really nice but I think it's just most British drinkers like bland shite so that's what most of the stuff you get here is (same reason Carling, Fosters etc is so popular). i just recently discovered dry reisling. like a lot of brits, i naively thought all reislings were sweet and nasty but it's actually an absolutley lush grape. really minerally and crisp with some citrus fruits in there. about £10 a bottle for a good one mind so not cheap but well worth trying if you haven't already.
