    Laying a concrete/screed decorative hearth base.

    For 50-60mm a normal sharp sand screed will work just fine. You could build a simple frame or some rails to ensure it's nice and level. I levelled the entire floor downstairs in my house and used a liquid surface DPM including inside the fire place. Under my log burner I have cement board...

    DIY gurus: Plaster board, Spring Toggles, Light hanging question

    You don't need access to the back directly. Although of course the job would be a lot less messy! You.can cut one or two holes to feed in wooden batons. You have to grip them in the hole then screw in from the front. Or make a hole big enough to use a torch and mirror to see what you can...

    Gym Rats Muscleworks Summer Training Weekend 14-15 July

    Hey guys, Thanks for the email delvis. Can I confirm later on? I am leaving for Poland in a couple of hours and can't really work out what I am doing that weekend yet. I would like to attend though, especially as it is so close to me!

    Optimal protein intake?

    Did you find your muscle ache was related to consumption of your milk based protein shake though? I remember a study where sports people drank milk vs some other post/pre workout drink and the subjects drinking milk had faster recovery times and less muscle soreness. Just saying it might be...

    2nd House?

    If you own it outright I can't see how it would affect anything.

    Macaroni cheese

    I have tried several versions and my favorite method is to cook the macaroni in milk or a mixture of milk and cottage cheese. The result is a rich creamy sauce with no risk of lumps etc. I think last time I just used whole milk, butter, pepper, mustard powder and strong cheese.

    Spec me a chair mat for a hard wood floor please!

    Wood floor casters don't work always. The soft rubber still picks up bits of grit, which will then scratch and dent. Personally I would get a rug or just take your weight off the chair when you move it.

    LiE's Diet and Training Thread

    Is this true? I thought that it was cholesterol in ones diet that had no direct relation to the level of body cholesterol. But that high sat fat diets will increase cholesterol.

    Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

    Ah right OK. Personally I think that might be a bad move though. Anyone who has a like it or lump it attitude on there turns me off straight away. It comes across a little confrontational and arrogant as you say IMO.

    Internet Dating.....Who Has Done it?!

    Do you mean you are putting negative stuff in your profile? If so, don't. By not including negative things you aren't deceiving anyone. If you see a girls profile with "Looking for a nice guy, been hurt too many times!!!" type header what does it make you think? Keep everything light and...

    Updates haven't taken long for me. 10 to 20 minutes at a guess. Didn't you update it on the phone? Can't you just take it with you?

    *** The official HTC One X thread ***

    Well I got one on the phones4u vodafone 12 month deal. Love the phone and everything is fine so far. Used Top cashback, which was tracking the cashback within a day or two. Interestingly I downloaded the "my vodafone" app today. My texts show as unlimited and I have unlimited data for 3...

    LiE's Diet and Training Thread

    I was just being silly. That's probably what he was thinking. Or like Icecold was saying "well I don't want to do it that way anyway" because he can't.

    Maybe you are ok for now trying to show off. But if you continue to go so low eventually your knees will explode and you will be screwed. He will still be there bobbing with a smug expression on his face.

    Yeah they are a bit expensive tbh. I don't really like fish that much, but it serves a purpose. I used to gag a little bit when I started eating salmon. I just forced it down though!

    As long as my nose isn't streaming or I'm spluttering everywhere I will still go and do a light weights week with some easy cardio. Just to stay in the groove. I have had several colds this year and haven't had a day off. Might be a link there though :) Delvis I buy those little tins of...

    *** The 2012 Gym Rats Thread ***

    I guess so, I feel slimmer around my mid section. I think I have a bit more taper and my lats are showing more. Also less double chin :D My form is better and energy levels are more consistent too. I still got called a fat geek the other day though. No pleasing some people :) I haven't been on...

    *** The 2012 Gym Rats Thread ***

    I don't have a kitchen at the moment and have been generally really busy. Eating out at the weekends etc. and I am probably in the best shape I have been in for a while. I just roughly keep track in my head like Freefaller. I know I can get away with a certain amount of rubbish and maintain my...

    Is buying new a waste of money

    It's a fair point. I know I could get a second hand car with a warranty. Like I say, in hind sight I probably would do something similar. The cost of tyres and servicing for an MX5 don't scare me as much as a nice BMW though. I'm just assuming that's what you bought.
