Elbo - yep phone call is owed. No good to leave her hanging. Not so say I didn't do that sort of thing when I was younger of course. In hindsight it was pretty pissweak of me and I wouldn't do it now. If she wasn't getting the hints then leaving her waiting a week or more for a phone call is...

clearly there is only one true god who I will of course be praying to spaghetti dammit Shredden beat me :(

Interesting that you despise pilates but like yoga. I've found them to both be very good. Have you ever done pilates or are you basing your judgement on the science (or lack thereof as the case may be)? My experience of pilates was that it was in a lot of cases similar sorts of exercises you...

Not a bad idea. Maybe a link to a youtube clip that shows proper form etc would be useful for things like push ups, muscle ups etc. Not just for the leaderboard but just for general edumacation purposes.

Akashra, Yeah I actually have done pushups with a variety of of hand positions (or even just on my thumbs/fingers) and/or with my feet/foot balanced on a swiss ball so I know how to make them harder or easier. I still maintain 50 is not that hard for someone who is fit enough and yes I'm...

"Magpie season occurs between July and December. During a period of about six weeks, magpies are breeding and tend to be protective of their chicks." Got swooped a dozen times by a magpie not 200m from my home couple of weeks ago riding up a super steep hill. I stopped and faced him and the...

Wow. How long did it take you to get to that? How do you do your one arm pushups - legs spread or together? 17 is still pretty impressive either way. I know I can do at least 10 on either arm but never tried for a max. Might have to start training up to beat your mark.

Really? I used to race dragonboats with a guy who was strong but not massive - he could do 70+ pushups. In 60 seconds. I kid you not. 50+ is not that hard. I can do a fastish 40 with perfect form even after not having done much training at all for 2 years and too many sausages in my belly...

Indeed. I have a work colleague (a short 4"11 girl) who who looks hilariously similar to the Fenga Papit girl so that pic did the rounds of the office. Best thing is she sent the pic to her sisters thinking they would be suitably outraged at me. bzzt wrong. It has now gone viral amongst her...

I had a flatmate that took me about 4 hours to realise I'd made a huge mistake in letting him share my flat. I really should have gone for the nice European lady despite the fact she'd offered a fair bit less money. That's what greed gets ya. First night he cooks up a shit storm for him and his...

Hmm good question. Wanders off for a couple of sets of mirror glances.

I swear by it. I can't ride much now due to injury (non MTB/yoga related) but whenever I was consistent with my yoga I was a better rider. There is however a period of adjustment that is worth getting through. Your hamstrings can get smashed from all the stretching and you will feel slow on the...

Granted I've been out of the racing scene for a few years but I don't think things have changed much so as the faster and probably more experienced rider I think the onus is on you to do more. If you come up on a slower rider consider they might be totally out of breath making conversation...

challenge accepted :)

Before my feet blew up I had a crappy old mtb I used to commute on permanently set up on my fluid trainer. Worked out a few different types of intensity sessions and all but ditched the need to do road rides which I always hated anyway. Almost every session revolved around maintaining a base HR...

You seem confused. I've never stated we should just do the first thing that comes to mind and for the record I don't think the govt really knows what they're doing and the Liberals would be as as bad or worse. I agree that we can't do anything about our power generation today. We can however...

You're forgetting the other option which I mentioned in passing. Instead of taking all or part of his money we could instead be proactive and alert him so that he can take steps to protect his money. Or leaving the metaphors aside, Australia could take a lead role in trying to fix the...

You have not said this explicitly but as you keep saying we should keep on polluting as at least we'll be rich it is kind of implicit in your argument.

So 77, would you actually take the guys money or would you alert him to the potential danger of losing it? I think Arete's analogy was slightly wrong - Australia's relative position is more akin to just taking a small bundle of the money and saying, well we only took a little bit and everybody...

^^ why can't you keep this civil? Honestly, this was a relatively enjoyable thread and all you've done is bring the tone down. Sincerely and with all due respect, please fuck off.
