I've been trying to increase it to every 2 days; clearly isn't enough recovery time for me though. Going to drop it back to every 3 days. It's a pity because I have to go to the gym basically every 2nd day anyway for my knee rehab.

Are you training the same muscles or doing the same routine every two days? If so then you should specialise i.e. if you need to do light rehab for your knee every two days, then fine, keep that up but maybe try the following:

Monday - Rehab, Chest & Arms
Wednesday - Rehab, Legs
Friday - Rehab, Back & Shoulders
Saturday - Swim / Light Cardio / Recovery
Sunday - Rest

Pepe LeFrits

Yeah. I'll try something like that, cheers. Having a beer instead tonight though

Yikes, even reading the headline of that story has me :eek: Poor guy

Productivity at all time low today. Email traffic unobligingly increasing in direct proportion to sleepiness. Not :cool:

Slattsy

Took the day off work, very little sleep last night and really needed the lie on.

House to myself while the missus works so we have bread and butter on the table this eve

Watching The Lord of The Rings trilogy. Today is a good day

Myself and my house mates watched them all last year in one day when we decided to give college a skip. Our FYPs were due the next day too, if I remember correctly

I love those type of days, Slattsy!

Slattsy

Yeah it's great.

Ain't seen them in years either so rather than do housework I picked the longest movies. They're actually the extended versions too!

Loads of tea and bickies as well.

D'Agger

Didn't die at training. Success!

Its normal to have pictures of cartoon cats playing hungry hungry hippos framed & hanging up in your apartment right?......

The Black Oil

Yeah, read about that murder this morning, terrible. Quite why the Indo needed to include certain details, oh well, it's Paul Williams. Will say no more.

Need to do a LOTR rewatch.

Lynch you? Kudos, more like! I'm a Whiskey man myself. Have half a bottle of JD in the press, awaiting my next social, or not so social adventure

I once reedited an entire Group Project, in some BS module such as Marketing, or Market Research, at 3 in the morning after a night on the sauce. While predrinking I highlighted everything that I hated and wanted to change, and I came home and rewrote it under the influence of the creative muse that is alcohol.

Never even told the two girls I was with that I changed all their stuff, nevermind that I did it while drunk pleasantly unsober. Thankfully, it all went well

You're gonna ace it :cool:

:pac:

Pepe LeFrits

Booze enhances creativity... at least to a point. My rule of thumb is that if your spelling gets so bad that Word can no longer suggest corrections, then it's time to put the bottle away.

Laughed at that
Saw some pictures of the real models used for the characters. Pam is bang on, but Lana not so much....

Whiskey dirnker myself too. Got a bottle of Jameson and one litre of rum for Christmas. Sitll unopened :eek: Both.
But I'm about to finish a homemade sort of coffee liqueur. Keeps you warm, it's freezing ourside.

Hermione*

I was tidying out my kitchen cupboards yesterday and found an unopened bottle of Jameson and two bottles of wine that I'd completely forgotten about. I can't believe I had a bottle of whiskey in the house that I forgot about :eek:

Where did you get the coffee liqueur, Barna? Sounds intriguing!

It is yeah.
But I was wrong, I wasn't drinking the coffee one. I've tried the it before. It's quite dangerous. A couple of shots and gone.... and badly gone. I was drinking this

I blame alcohol for mixing them up :pac:

I got a bottle of Jameson for Christmas. I took it and a bottle of weird Polish vodka to the cottage with my mates for New Years... came home with a third of the Jameson, the full bottle of vodka, a third of a bottle of tequila, a bottle of wine and about 15 bottles of Coors Light. Score!

Pepe LeFrits

Also, I won two half bottles of Bollinger and two champagne flutes at my local offy last week! Everything's coming up Pepe!

Professey Chin

I actually have no alcohol in my place
Actually thats a lie. I have a bottle of chardonnay(I think) I was given as a moving in present. To my old apartment.

Ah, just getting irritated by small things, I was looking into an issue for somebody I work with and they were basically asking me for an update every 5 mins or so - when there's literally 97 other things they could have been working on at that time and weren't. Add to that I was asked to look at a very minor issue after having just finished an elongated minor issue when this same person was sat at their desk, doing what, I don't know. So I'm behind on the more important stuff I need to have done by this evening.

I just needed to eat and stuck in the headphones for lunch - watched the first episode of Love/Hate so I'm in grand form now and ploughing into the heavy stuff for the afternoon

Do you ever get that paranoia when you file multiple applications - just after posting them - of "What if I put two applications in the wrong envelopes".

And if you don't - do you now that I put it in your head?

Morning all, hump day again. Feels like the feckin month is flying by. I also got paid last night so yippee, was bady needed!

Hows all tGCers this dreary morning?

Knex*

Feeling pretty shattered today. Haven't slept well in a while and its catching up!

Went to the Black Sheep in Dublin yesterday for a few beers and some dinner. Nice food and the range of beers they have is fantastic.

Went home, watched new Archer. So that's a pretty good evening/night in my eyes

Must put myself to bed early tonight, however.

Hope ye're having a bearable Wednesday, folks!

Archer Vice! Pam, deadly as usual.

I usually go for a drink to the Beerhouse, at the end of Capel St. Nice quiet place.

Mad day ahead

I could've done with an early night last night but ended up watching Prisoners and then reading a bit before passing out at 12, I need more sleep than that, especially with training tonight, hopefully it'll be grand!

I used to be an up till 3 or 4 guy while in college, so reigning that back took time in itself.

Still won't catch my asleep before 12 though, but I really need to work on that... Body is getting older :P

Actually it was all online. And I got an email a few seconds after I submitted to confirm that my submission went through.

Good effort though.


I haven't seen any Archer past the end of the 3rd season.

Just got linked this by a mate at work...

Its a little surreal.

The end of that reminded me a bit of "John Malkovich John Malkovich John Malkovich John Malkovich John Malkovich John Malkovich " from that seriously weird film where everyone turns into John Malkovich.
