Can you share a link for your workout Phil? Have you done a workout yet and how much did you ache the next day, and the day after that, and probably day 3 as well IIRC. Once you get into the swing of things it doesnt get any easier physically as you just do heavier weights or more reps, but definitely get the good feeling factor of endorphins. I haven't done one yet but yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to go for a 50 mile cycle over the campsies. The Tak-Ma-Doon road from Kilsyth is a fucking killer going from an elevation of 60m to 320m. Then we hit the Crow Road over the Campsies from Fintry to Lennoxtown which rises to about 340m. It's a challenging cycle for a fit cunt but I'm badly out of shape and it absolutely broke me. The rest of the week looks a bit rainy so I might try a workout. |

I took my youth for a run yesterday, he's the same age that I was when I started my basic training.
I am very understanding when he suffers a bit during exercise, but there will always be a part of me that gets a bit stern to make him realise he can push himself further.

Furlough still hasn't worked for some, but hey ho. The vaccine rollout has been excellent, but wait until the sun loving Brit wants to go abroad on holiday to Europe. We had a 'safe' travel corridor to places like Greece, but those caused more infections in the UK than other places + quarantine on return. news.sky.com/story/covid-19-greece-travel-corridor-brought-in-a-large-amount-of-virus-say-experts-12250258The previously unreported analysis, which was conducted by PHE and the COVID-19 Genomics UK Consortium, revealed that Greece was the largest source of imported infections between June and September, making up 21% of new cases, compared with 16% for Croatia and 14% for Spain.If the virus mutates and the vaccine doesnt protect against it, we will be back to square one. True, but there will always be someone who will fall through the cracks when there's a government scheme... the alternative of no furlough would have been a lot worse for so many businesses and employees. One group of people who really missed out where the self employed who supplemented their taxable income with cash-in-hand work! As my old PE teacher used to say; "Give them an inch, then they'll take a foot, then a yard, then a mile". The UK furlough scheme has been good, not perfect, but no Government would have got it spot on. Could be worse, you could be living in the richest nation in the World. |

I don't expect to get mine until September at the earliest. More realistic is next year. WTF?!!....that's ridiculous. I thought NL was slow but that's a joke. The EU fell for the age old ebay trick of thinking they'd won the auction then got outbid by Boris in the last seconds. That plus I live in a region where the regional government is opposed to the national government, so they do all they can to fail, then finger point, playing games with lives as a political strategy... oh well, we got what we voted for! Luckily we have elections on Star Wars day so I hope we can get the cunts out (one of the few elections that I can actually vote in!) |

Tories: "After spaffing tens of £billions on useless test and trace and illegally awarding dodgy PPE contracts to our mates and party donors, we're giving the NHS a 1% pay rise and they should think themselves lucky they still have a fucking job. We're also increasing our nuclear warheads by 40% and literally no cunt knows how many £Bn that will cost."
SNP: "After a horrendous year in which they worked in unimaginable conditions, paid with their lives, and kept us alive, we're giving our NHS staff a much deserved 4% pay increase."
British Media: "The SNP are CUNTS! They're doing this deliberately!"

I bet the staff at St Thomas hospital who treated Boris for covid will be wishing they’d let the tousled haired, slavering cunt slip away.
Nevermind, they all got a decent round of applause on a daily basis. Surely that’s enough.

The govt and anything connected to it just wastes money. My place is trying to get people to work from home but won't drop the pre-covid renovation plans which are now pointless if more people work from home. Then again this is same place that spends £100 on contract IT equipment and I found it for £14. It's as daft as all the wage equality talks they keep having seeing as the only people with potentially unequal wages are those who earn outside of the standard wage setup, so at least 95% of people aren't suffering wage inequality.
