Christmas Tree

None could possibly be taken given my Labour backing in 2019. I really take very little interest in politics these days (I still know what’s going on). and avoid getting involved on here because of the feelings of the majority of the board. But in answer to your question, (I know it’s rhetorical), the vast majority of people simply have so little interest that so much of this stuff just doesn’t register the way it does with people on here. Come the election, (Boris will be long gone), it will be the same old story of who has the most to offer and who has the “x factor” in those final 5 weeks. Its amazing after 3 Blair victories, that nearly 20 years have gone by and they haven’t returned to that winning formula. They need a charismatic front man and an exciting manifesto. It’s there for the taking if they stop pissing about. Burnham In.

Are you trying to get in? I just thought you were peking.

I read this morning that he would ideally like to be closer to the south coast as that’s where his family is from.

So, which was the best goal of the season. Best overall goal Biggest Buzz goal

Feel a bit sorry for Krafth

Trips is back

Gutted the seasons over now we're safe 0-5 today and a Wilson hat trick.

Dog walked, gym done and it’s not even 8 am

Oh I’m very aware of my attention span. I was in a few sports shops this morning looking at gymwear when I had to take a moment, give myself a virtual slap and continue on my way.

Sums me up at the minute

Rocked into the gym at 6.30 today, pod on the Tyne podcast and 40 minutes flew by. Dropped the car off for mot and jive walked* the mile home. And still raring to go *Luckily, this was a secluded route along the rail tracks. I do genuinely think it’s sad that we are all so repressed that jive walking is sniggered at. It can make a walk so much more enjoyable and we’d all be happier, healthier people for it.

Woohoo

Im sure this is funny but have no idea who it is

I tried that a couple of years ago but just don’t feel safe on the roads. Maybe it’s because I see so many near misses with my job. Too many idiots on the roads.

Tbh, the idea of a PT was purely for setting a routine and knowing which machines to use and how to use them. But I agree with Tom about taking it steady and often first. If I can stick to that then I can gradually add on machinery down the line

Trunk shopping in the morning as it happens I did think a few options through, but as I have quite a bit of free time, going to the gym regularly seemed much more cost effective that swimming.

Cheers Tom, on reflection I think you’re right. I’ll see how I get on with that first. 👍🏻

I can’t run (knee) and was hoping that with proper advice there might be a way of building up strength (gently) around the knee. I have read that improving muscles around the knee can help with knee pain.

I can’t run (knee)

The acceptability question is are they happy to take someone on for say 10 weeks or are they after 52 weeks a year customers. Basically, I want someone who I can make aware of my issues (Herniated disc in the neck & one knee that can play up), put together a routine and then let me get on with it. I want to use more equipment than the bike, treadmill and elliptical thingy but don’t know how to use the other stuff. I also don’t want to use anything that will trigger each condition. I need more than a gym introduction but can’t afford to be paying £30-50 a week for a long period.

So now that I’m back on Keto the intense energy has resumed. Wasn’t sure how to handle myself (sort of ASD on smarties) and them remembered your post. Put aside all the usual procrastination, joined PureGym 2 hours ago and have just got back. I took your advice and spent time on a few bits of machinery and stayed about 138-146 for 40 minutes. Can I ask you about a PT. Obviously very expensive, but wondering if it’s acceptable to use one, once a week for certain period to get familiar with equipment / routines. Cheers
