    Ramadan Mubarakh..!

    Genuine question, is Turkey actually considered a Muslim country for that purpose? I always thought it was considered a secular country.

    I can't work in an office for the next 50 years...

    On similar lines, I couldn't stand the office job so I trained to be a teacher. Did that a few years and really enjoyed it but got sick of how teaching is going in the UK so I'm now off to Dubai to teach for 2 years. After that, I'll pick another country. One of the very few "perks" of being a...

    THREAD BUMP: Max Clifford defense exhibit A: penis size

    Pretty ironic considering his entire livelihood has been based on a similar abuse of power, knowledge and threats. The only reason he is able to keep things quiet for his clients is he has stuff over almost everyone in the business...

    Why do I/we encounter so many people who are using a cash point for the first time ever?

    You missed the crucial step of "Walk up to cash machine, act surprised and fumble in wallet/purse for correct card" Only second to people who can't pay for buses in a timely fashion in the annoyance stakes, thankfully both are fairly rare events.

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Once a week with normally some lighter squatting e.g. cleans, snatches once week, frequency hasn't changed. I do however do front squats every other week which I didn't use to. While I'm sure it could be improved (quad dominant) I train with BWL-qualified coaches so it's nothing that's so...

    *** The 2014 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Since my squats have started getting heavy(isn), I've a near constant (minor) soreness above the kneecap in both legs which I assume is the patella tendon? I've started rolling out quads, hammies, IT band etc with a slight improvement but it's still there. Strangely once warmed up and squatting...

    20mph speed limits - are they actually enforceable

    They've done this in part of Brighton and Hove recently. I normally drive about 20 down my road as there's cars parked both sides and anyone could open their door. What is ridiculous is making main roads 20, especially when they're bus routes. Are you telling me that all bus journeys are now...

    *** 2013 Powerlifting Totals - NEW ***

    Couple of cheeky mince-pie fuelled PBs before the end of the year. I think that'll probably be me for this year. Proper n00b gains but 145kg for the year, really happy with that.
