I can bench press 280 without breaking a sweat, you fucking wimps. That's about 70 sugar cubes, impressive. |

Hello.
TV. MrsC wanted to watch Dr Who as a serial killer. So we did. Think he strangled them with a big scarf or something.
Games. Downloaded the Ass Creed guide to Egypt thing as the child has shown an interest in Egypt. Wish it didn't have the Ass Creed branding on it.
Played an old COD zombies against the computer as I'm trying to relearn mouse/kB for games. Just hurts my feeble wrists. Bench press you say?
At work.

The important thing with benching is to ensure it's a weight you can only do a single rep of and very loudly, so everyone notices.
Then move to the dumbells, find the heaviest. Don't worry if they are too heavy. Make lots of noise and really swing them so you recruit your back and shoulders. Worth those vertebrae.
At the end of your 5 reps drop the weights on the floor. People need to hear how heavy they are.
Then spend 30 minutes on the phone.

I admire the look you've gone for Felice; I hope it works out for you. amipal: with a few props, and a lot of hard work, you could achieve this kind of look - you'd get a lot more viewers for your channel. Come on, I can't grow hair like that... |

electrical lads are here today testing my power. (Which as you know is infinite) - Oh!*
*So I'm stuck on my old S2 tablet typing this out on my only working keyboard.
I have 2 attached to my unit (you heard) one is the bespoke Bluetooth case for an S2 which is failing on some letters and the other is a cheetah keyboard which is a download and it works perfectly, happy DL days except for the drilling. ]

Afternoon all.
Gamesblog: Skyrim. I've set Enchantment to legendary now too. Another skill I can help up my main level.
TVblog: up to date with The Boys. Kind of wished I'd waited til all episodes had been released. Oh well, good TV.
OTTM: yes! The chap from South Coast home improvement actually turned up this morning!
But all he did was measure!
And then tell us that the carpenter is on holiday!

I posted this yesterday: "From my point of view is that it is a good game and I enjoy playing it but I'm not going to put the time in. You need to be into that Fallout 1/2 mood and the whole isometric thang." |

I'm back fellow bio units, after a very efficient electrical check and the installation of a mains based fire alarm system (sprinklers were already in) which are connected as a spur from my main lighting in each room, I can now chill out read and interact with the blog - why you may ask, I don't know comes the reply it's just what is expected of one - fair enough squire.
A fine read it is indeed, what with amiblogs poster balls and sheepguin bench pressing them/280 oz of alcohol.
(I gather that's where PUBG comes into it).
happy days, laters though.

The reviews also reference XCom and Baldurs Gate (I have played these). The reviews are difficult to weigh up as many played previous versions and are fans already. Does seem to require(as you say) a lot of time investment. |

I 'liked' scamanders weigh lifting post, just to give the impression I am familiar with what happens inside of a gym.

I had a go on Wasteland 2 a couple of years ago. Was hoping for Fallout meets XCom but I didn't really get on with it - a bit overcomplicated and clunky.

Your face is a bit over complicated and clunky.
Gyms? For softies.
Get yourself a log then run up a mountain with it on your shoulders, maybe pull a broken down horse and cart back to its stable with the rope between your teeth, the catch some chickens in the back yard.
