Same, i’ve been doing my routines on what I know I can use.

I’m fed up of wanting to use the squat rack, waiting for it to be free and doing the entire rest of my workout whilst a fella does 4 sets of squats with 15 minutes gossiping between sets.

I know all of these and believe them 100% but it won’t stop me grabbing the arm rest the next time we hit some turbulance

These all seem very serious. I’ve gone for the Gargle, the glossy magazine to the Bugle’s audio newspaper for a visual world and I’ve picked the review show where they put all the reviews together which includes Alison Spittle’s classic.

The one time my mum hid one of my presents it was a kids sized pool table. It was leant up against a wall outside my bedroom behind quite a tall plant and I’d walked past it about three times on Christmas morning before I saw it.  Not really even hidden, just out of the way enough for me to not see it.

The worst interview I had was for a role looking after a team of tech engineers and 90% of the interview was about how you would mico manage staff and the lead interviewer started arguing with my answers.

I hate that the last piece of unsolicited advice (slight changes in my knee and foot position when squatting) turned out to be really useful.  Course I’d never tell the guy in real life

I love GI Joe Rise of Cobra.  It’s a terrible movie but I love it and will watch it whenever it’s on.  I have no idea if this is what you’re talking about but I will always take the opportunity to promote this movie

I would definitely recommend Firecrotch and Normcore by Geoff and Sara.

You’re dead to me” by Greg Jenner is the one I listen to 

Try being a non-drinker in a country like Britain where everyone is drunk all the time.  

I’ve played two dots and dots and co a few years ago and I just get a bit frustrated at times that some levels just seem unsolvable. It’s not that I’m making mistakes its that even if I do everything I can I can’t complete it.  Maybe it’s changed?

Hi Honey - where are my pants?

15 days??? FIFTEEN?????? And people are scared to even take that when offered unlimited days?

The timing of this is hilarious. I was talking to a trainer a couple of days ago about hitting a plateau and being a bit bored and the resolution of the conversation was this exact headline

I would like an app that can identify a screenshot of a tweet that’s posted on FB or IG and finds it on twitter and RTs - or in the case of a joke that’s stolen, finds the first person to tweet it and RTs that

I used straps all the time before what with one thing and another happened. Always felt that if I’m doing a deadlift to strengthen by back / legs / core I shouldn’t let my grip restrict those muscles getting some work.

Gives you all a “hard stare”

Houses (and flats) are for living in and not renting out to other people.

I’d include Roman Mars and his flags too, his enthusiasm is always infectious
