Hi Tikay. Happy new year, hope you're doing well?

Just stumbled across this and thought it may be of interest: https://www.railwaytouring.net/the-hadrian

Flying Scotsman departing Derby on a bit of a day trip.....

Well done Ralph. We're probably due a curry night to celebrate. Been way too long.

Only met Adam a few times IRL but got to know him quite well in the virtual world a few years back in my poker playing days.

Really nice guy and such a sad loss especially at such a young age.

RIP fella

Hi  Tony, if there is any left could Newportlad and myself have 1% each, I'll send both over when confirmed please.


Thank you ever so much

xXx

Hi Shaz,

1% for supernova

1% for Newport Lad


Both BOOKED. 

Sent 24.60 ref WSOP Shaz

If i ever become social again I'd love a catch up!

RECEIVED.

Isn't Online Banking a thing of beauty? You sent it minutes ago, & I have it already. We used to send someone a cheque, pop it in the letter-box, they'd get it two days later, then have to visit their bank, & then wait 3 to 5 days for it to clear. I've quite forgotten what it is to write a cheque.

Be great to catch up, yes. Like most of us, I became a hermit during Lockdown, so when I first ventured out - to an SPT - I was actually quite nervous & uncomfy. My next outing was to another SPT, & I still felt  a bit awkward socially. 

Technology in general is amazing. I'm currently sat at the bar in Circa sorting out quotes and emails. Someone in the office can work on a quote and save it to our cloud based server which I can then access instantly anywhere in the world to work on the same document. It's no different to working from home. I can even be on work's phone system using an app, absolutely incredible.

The world is an incredibly small place these days.

Best of luck in the WSOP. Would've bought a piece but you're pretty shit at poker so decided not to. That reminds me..... As the only person worse than you at poker I think I still owe you a fiver for our last LL. Good luck prising that out of my grasp.

We go home on Saturday so won't be around when you get here unfortunately.

Bumped in to that posh lad on Monday. He was very drunk and drinking beer from a large shoe. Quite impressive really.

Right that's me done. Hopkin just turned up.... Time to get messy. F**king love Vegas.

What a rollercoaster BTC investors are having. Dropped below £20k today for the first time since December 2020 and has been in freefall for the last week or so.

Down 20% over 5 days and down 10% today alone.

I've said before I've never understood crypto/BTC and probably never will but I love following its price almost daily.

It peaked just under £50k about 7 months ago and has been crazy volatile ever since.

That 'spike' in December '17 when it first breached $20k looks like a molehill next to the Himalayas on a 5yr graph.

Hope any Blondes invested are doing okay out of it.

I use this guy for travel stuff https://twitter.com/SimonCalder

He's usually pretty good.

I'll just be taking my esta paperwork, the vaccine pass printout,and filling in the form on Virgin's website the night before I go.

Hoping to get a Virgin flight to save filling out a physical form. BA don't have the same convenient tick box facility.


Good luck, chaps. Hopefully see you boys in a week or so!

Think we only have to tick a box and fill a few details in, but then you have to make sure you've got the form until you get there, I suppose?

Not with Virgin. The airline is responsible for the forms so you don't need a physical piece of paper once you've clicked a few buttons. Great system.

Think we're back to normal, other than attestation form online or at airport, and your NHS vaccine pass on phone or paper.



Don't need anything at all by the looks of it:

No tests needed but you do need proof of vaccine to go to the US from what I understand.

Not sure if the locator forms are still in effect?

Tough day today on my 'heavy' bench day.

Rep range is 4 to 6 and my best week I've managed to peak at 135kg for 4.

Felt really good today and had visions of giving 3 plates a go but for some reason it just wanted there.

To get to 135 in reasonable jumps I go 112.5, 122.5, 130 and then 135. Anyway the 122.5 felt ridiculously tough, 130 I just about squeezed 5 reps and then took the sensible option and bailed out on the top set.

Felt really confident after Monday being a good day but I guess sometimes it's just not there.

I started a mini cut this week but I can't see that being the issue as I've only dropped about 500 calories per day and only been at it a couple of days. I trained 11am instead of my usual 4pm which is a likely factor but I've done it before and not been badly affected. Hey ho, not to worry, back at it next session.


Much better 'heavy' day this week.

120kg x 4
127.5kg x 4
135kg x 3
140kg x 2

First time I've had 3 plates on the bar without the slingshot for almost 3 months. First rep wobbled a bit but managed to recompose and hit a pretty solid second.

This was the first time I've dropped my reps as I start my heavy 4 week block and my numbers were actually as good as I hit in my testing block last run through so quite encouraging.

No tweaks or twinges which is even more encouraging so can hopefully have a run at something decent in about 8/9 weeks time.

An Upper Reward seat came on this morning going out on the 24th June.  Can confirm it is 58k points + £330 to update from economy delight.  Smiley  Get to try out the clubhouse at Heathrow for the first time.



Good stuff Doobs. Don't forget the security fast track as well, for me that's an even better benefit than the clubhouse.

How did you find out about the ticket? I'm on seatspy but for some reason the alerts aren't working for me at the moment.

Tom is a potential GOAT after going back to back.  His brother 7th.   That field was stacked and Tom won by half the track.  10.5 points clear.   That is mario distance in that field.   He could win 5 straight at his age.  Total freak.  I did think i said this 6-8 years ago on here when i first saw him when eddie hadn't made it.   World's stroongest brothers  by a mile.

Couldn't agree more, we could be seeing the start of something very special. I do think he beats a prime Thor, if not now within few years. It is genuinely immense to see and then you take into account his brother is coming top 10 too! Interesting to see what direction they take with weight. There has been an obvious increase in size, but to maintain that weight for a decade isn't easy. Thor and Eddie I think both peaked for around 2-3 years at these weights. I guess Brian did carry huge amounts of mass for a decade or two.

I thought Tom was looking pretty unhealthy to be honest. They all do of course but Tom had that body fat level almost on a par with Eddie at his chunkiest (and strongest....)

It must take a huge toll on their hearts being that heavy and combined with the steroid use/abuse you have to wonder how long he can keep it up for without dropping dead.

Eddie was smart enough to know it would kill him so got out early. Can't fault him for that one bit.

Thought Novi had it after that truck pull but then he completely effed it on the stairs and stones.

The lightest guy in the field won the truck pull a few years ago as well. Can't remember who it was but he was tiny in comparison to the rest.

I think Licis will give Tom a good run next year. He's already said he won't be doing the Arnolds so that he can focus on worlds which will make a huge difference.

If Licis can stay injury free throughout a year of training I don't see much between the two of them really.

100% agree that Shaw needs to quit although you could say that about Mark Felix and he seems to keep going.

At the start I thought you were going to crash and burn but these are incred results.


I much preferred the crash and burn. It was far more entertaining for the fans.

Yeah staying injury-free and doing 3x45min sessions a week right now is as good as anything I've ever done. Just need to keep reminding myself of that.

I'm only training 3x per week at the moment. Don't know why but I just cba with 4 or 5 days right now.

Doesn't seem to be affecting me much at all. My legs might lose a bit as I'm completely missing those but I know that 6 weeks back on it I'd be right back where I was.

All I do for legs at the moment is 20 bodyweight squats every morning. That seems to be doing really well at keeping enough quad definition to satisfy my fragile ego.
