I do not have a hangover - I only had one drink last night.
however, I've got to go to Bury St Edmunds today with Badger and Wicca. :) we're going to look at everything around there!

Still enjoying the UK then Poppet?
What have been the highlights so far?

And how are you coping with the weather?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 11:22, Reply)

highlights so far have been going to the seaside with Badger - even though I managed to drop everything in the mud.
And going for really long walks across the fields and through town. :)
I'm really enjoying it.

The weather is very different to what I'm used to though! yesterday the fog was just SO thick and it didn't lift all day.

What is the furthest north you'll be heading?
I'm just wondering if you'll find snow.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 11:27, Reply)

hoping to go up to LochNess...
I've been told that's almost as far north as I can go?
(Poppet some assembly required., Sat 20 Nov 2010, 11:28, Reply)

You'll have a fair chance of snow there.
Well, you'll have more chance of snow than monsters!

When are you off to Scotland?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 11:30, Reply)

probably after I visit Blousie.

When are you seeing Blousie?

I'm staying with her the night of the manc bash, and then again a week and a half later

She'll get you drunk I'd imagine.

nah I don't think she will.
Right I'm going - my laptop is getting low on charge! bye!

but are you going to see Labs? If so, I could pop down from Birmingham and say hello, but it depends what time...(and if you don't mind me inviting myself along...)

Today I have a craving for delicious bacons
I shall get over it by eating bacon. Up next: Rugby in Newark. Later: maybe going to see a girl offline.

A REAL GIRL?
OMG. A proper girl?

The perfect bacon sandwich.

Discuss.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 11:47, Reply)

A proper girl is not the perfect bacon sandwich
The perfect bacon sandwich is made with soft, thick white bread, generously buttered. The bacon is lightly grilled and the juices have been poured onto the buttered bread to create a animal-based oil slick. It has been seasoned with a helping of 'Daddies' brown sauce.

Depends which girl
some of them would have lovely crackling, but I think you're probably not supposed to eat people.

That is close to the perfect bacon sarnie
But you fair on a couple of counts.

The bread should be granary and the sauce, HP.

White toast, no butter, ketchup, chipotle sauce.

You prefer sausage?

[insert something about sausages/cocks]
but if it's just for grilling and putting in a sandwich, no, i think if the choice was bacon, sausage or death, you'd be burying me shortly thereafter. vile!

I am going to get over this by going in to town and wrestling with eleventy billion other shoppers and not have any money to spend. Oh, wait... actually that doesn't sound like a lot of fun at all. Oh well :(

I also have nothing to do.
Instead, I'm sitting in bed in a camisole playing the Circle of Life at full blast through headphones. Have a bed day. They're always awesome.

I don't have a hangover
because I got drunk on Thursday instead - friend's birthday.

I did sleep from 11:45pm to 10:30am with a brief interlude in the middle of the night for a glass of water, and now I feel much better than I did Friday.

Today I have my ticket for West Brom vs Stoke, who we have beaten only once in the last 17 attempts or something. Woo. I might blow it off and listen on the radio.

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:17, Reply)

I think so. I think it was stuck under some loose branches on the ground and they got it.
To be honest I did something stupid. I eventually got them off it before it was properly dead. I should have left them to kill it.

oh no did you run over it?
i did that once when i was 17, i cried for about an hour!

edit - ha, sorry, i read that as "i killed a squirrel", for some reason i thought "biscuit and benj" was a soft swearword. i am a moron.

also i neeeeeeeeed to get off the sofa and hit the gym so i am actually back and showered before my guests arrive. gimme a kick in the pants?

Hopefully 30 min on the treadmill.
10 min rower
20 min bike
100 crunches
weights for the bingo wings.

sounds good
does your gym have powerplates? they are really good for triceps, just hold the straps and pull! expect days of pain afterwards though.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:25, Reply)

No. It's only the local heathcentre gym.
Not very well equipped but nearby and cheap.
( girlinthehole, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:26, Reply)

cheap is good
i was devastated when i moved back to london after a year living in cheshire after uni and realised the gyms were three times the price and one tenth the size/quality!

Yeah! just full of normal folk trying to keep fit instead of muscle monsters.

( girlinthehole, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:42, Reply)

Mine does
I do squats on them, and the plank. Bloody agony.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:30, Reply)

omg
doing the plank on the powerplate is the worst form of torture. i'd tell you anything and everything after about 30 seconds! squats don't bother me at all, as my legs and bum are much more toned than the rest of me, but the goddam plank... balancing all the horrible lardy stomach and boob weight on two scrawny arms...... fuck!!!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:34, Reply)

I read a thing that said sit-ups aren't as good as plank for toning the stomach
startingstrength.com/articles/abs_rippetoe.pdf

His emphasis is on weightlifting but he makes some interesting points about the primary function of the core muscles being to strengthen the spine under load.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:44, Reply)

interesting
i still think the answer has to be both though.

unfortunately!
( rachelswipe with a fork, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:49, Reply)

I use to incorperate the plank in my routine but not for a while now.
I use to do loads of crunches because I thought I might actually get rid of my belly and have it toned at the same time but it's not shifting so there's no point now. I don't work too much on upper body because I'm big enough as it is so don't want to add muscle up there.
( girlinthehole, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:55, Reply)

He points out that crunches are good when you start but they quickly stop doing any good
Plank it up!
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 14:58, Reply)

You won't get rid of the belly by doing any form of resistance training.
It's cardio and diet to shift fat.
( Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Sat 20 Nov 2010, 15:00, Reply)

I know.
I thought that I would do cardio to lose fat and crunches to tone as the weight went. But the belly's not shifting and I'm not giving up the plonk so:

Jelly on a plate

I have to admit I'm similar - cutting out booze and pizza is never going to happen. The gym just stops me having to be craned out of my bedroom with the window removed.
