I made a joke of it and she laughed saying that she came to see me not the house, but all the time I could see her scanning the room, judging me.:(:D

My mother cleaned my kitchen window the last time she was here, she said I shouldn't let it get so steamed up! Generally she gives a half hour head's up before she arrives. This allows me time for a frantic clean up. Next time I'll wipe the window too!

Got home last night at about ten to 11. Had an appointment at 9am this morning. Got up at 5:30, got the train at 6:30, at 10 past 7 an alert came through that my 9am appointment cancelled. The eyes are hanging out of my head. I ****ing hate people.

Noticed that a lot in the local Aldi and Lidl shops, just fly in park in whats nearest or available, mother & child spaces or the handicapped, and not a bother on them, not just the P.J Brigade either, lovely audi tt pulled in on day, the gorgeous ones got out, probably didn't want to park near the P.J people, straight into the shop, it just bugs me too,

Audi could be a company car for one of the managers/head office people....which would make it worse really

Morning Titties. TA that I've a got a cold I wanted to visit my friend's baby after work but don't want to give the little one my cold.

My hands are cut to pieces from lifting and pull ups. I don't mind that so much except that holding my cup of tea actually burns my hands >.<

There was a band in the 70's called "The Floaters", had a hit with "Float on"

You would'nt get away with that these days:D

It was number one in the charts the day I was born... an omen if there ever was one, because there are always floaters in our office jacks.

TA that I am considering going on an exercise binge. This is not me. But I need to get more exercise or risk dying due to nothingness.

Thanks MsB, it is a fab song and better than the other one!

My big annoyance this morning is the gob****e who parped his horn repeatedly across the street from me this morning at 6.15 am. I was awake at this time but this is not the point. It's illegal. :mad:

The way I see it is this: exercise causes stress, stress leads to heart-attack and stroke and all kinds of snuffing it Guv'nor. I'm with the Japanese, as they say at Sumo bouts: "Okikute ugokasenai Fujisan mitai da", or "He is as grand and immobile as Mount Fuji"! :pac:

Wise words Jim San but I fear if I don't start doing some exercise I will be the same size as Mount Fuji

When I was in college one of my housemates was entering miss ireland, and used to go to the gym every evening. Some days she'd bring me with her and I would sit in those giant ball things talking to her while she ran like a lunatic on the treadmill.

Wouldn't be my cup of tea now to be honest

Running on a treadmill is definitely one of my trivial annoyances. It's the single most boring bloody thing you can do. I had to do it on holidays and I hated every minute of it.

One of those can be cured with the help of a good sports bra - boobage isn't really an excuse! :pac:

why would you put a sportsbra on a knee?

Your standard gym sucks. Treadmills suck. Fixed weight machines suck (although so help you develop technique), waiting for someone to finish (tee hee) sucks, people not cleaning sweat sucks, the creepy dude that looks at your dong in the changing room sucks (or at least wants to).
I had a nasty knee injury that I needed to attend a gym as part of the physio and it killed me a little inside. I'd never join one again.

But, I would happily use the equipment in the BJJ/MMA gym my missus and kid goes to. Much better environment.

Agreed BB. I like having Ben Dunne membership because it's cheap and handy, but I workout in a private gym and run outdoors.

I have a pool membership which covers a decent chunk of the pools in London and a separate gym membership because my OH likes our local gym. I only really tend to use the gym once a week though to do a core strength workout, most of what I do is swimming or outdoor running/cycling.

TA'd at how crowded the gym is at peak time - mine has about 20% more members than it really should and the opening of a new branch around 2km away (Finsbury Park) has not helped.

Stupid milk ad - "since I was a kid, I've always felt most at home in nature.The energy..." - what? You got all that from a glass of milk? Milk stolen from a cow who has had her calf taken off her and sold for veal? Milk designed for a herbivore with five digestive chambers? Nature you say? Hmmmmmm.........

The cows are grand and happy on grass and the cow and calf never built a bond so neither of them miss each other anyway and also most of the calves live till 24 months so they do

I eat beef, and dairy products, and would probably try veal if the opportunity arose, however I doubt very much that cows are all that happy happy with the situation.

That is the one thing that would get me out on the street shouting my head off. Pure ignorance. What if you had an emergency?

The Irish Mammy passive aggressive rubbish that adult children of my generation must endure. You know when you know they've a bee in their bonnet over something because they make it perfectly clear, so you decide you'll call them on it and ask straight out if there is anything wrong and you get the terse icey "what make you think I am annoyed with you?" - oh ffs can't be dealing. So much f.ucking energy wasted by them playing these stupid games - dropping hints and going out of their way tos how that they are annoyed but not having then decency to just bloody well say, "I'm annoyed with you because of X".

You're going to have a fight.

Mr. CooL ICE

My gym isn't cheap but I go there because it's near my house, quiet, the equipment is top notch and people are friendly but keep to themselves. Perfect for me.

This morning, I was doing my warmup stretches and some guy comes over, gives me his phone and says "could you do me a favour? I need progress pics". I was still half asleep but said no problem. He proceeds to whip off his t-shirt in the middle of the gym, faces me and flexes. He said "make sure you get it all in there". I said it was done, but he turns to the side and flexes again. I sigh, take a pic and think it's over. He then faces away from me, flexes, so I take another pic. he said "one more from the front", so I take yet one.

Handed him his phone back. I thought it was over, but he then says "thanks a million man, you're the best", and extends his hand. I went to shake it back, but he quickly turns it into a bro handshake and half hug, still with his top off. I hadn't even begun to work up a sweat and I was already able to smell someone else's sweat on my clothes :mad:

So many things with this post.
1. Cows do form bonds with their calves and can tell their calves from all the others.
2. When calves are weaned they certainly do miss each other.
3. We had a cow who delivered a stillborn calf, and my dad moved it away on a transport box. For days, she wandered around looking for Her calf, and kept sniffing at the transport box because she could obviously smell it.
4. Cows are so intelligent, and incredibly kind and gentle. That same cow that lost her baby, we had her for 14 years and she thought that I was her calf too. She got really really attached to me and could both give kisses (nose would touch my face, sometimes she'd lick my face) and hugs (her head on my shoulder, my arms around her neck). They are capable of emotion. Jealously, being lonely, being frightened, being sad.

It's not right people killing them

Do you know what lads if I was to fight with and call the guards everytime it happens, I think I would be fighting with everyone, it happens so often.

When I knock on doors I get "oh cant you get out I didn't realise" I feel like saying "yes I would have to drive thru your ****ing car" I suppose I will have to go knocking again in a little while. Totally pissed off!
