  1. 3C and overcast here (windchill makes it feel like -3C). Pretty mild for this time of year. COYS!!!
  2. Too right, a friend of a friend caught a couple of punks trying to steal a pumpkin from an outdoor display and confronted them. He was punched and thrown from his bicycle and later died in the hospital as a result of hos injuries. No way, I'd take that chance these days.
  3. That's great now 3 of our closest rivals have an extra game to squeeze into their schedule, we need to go on and win this one now. C'mon Saints, really pleased for the Llama and Sharp, more please!!!!
  4. 1.07
  5. I had chronic shin splints and thought i'd have to give up running altogether. Then I discovered a book called ChiRunning that calls for an adjustment from heel striking to a mid foot landing with a forward lean from the ankles, concentrating on running from the core muscles. Worked wonders for me, I now run 1800-2000 kms per year and haven't suffered from shin pains in years. I worked on my posture and running form to an extent that I run "quietly" now, as if I am creeping up on someone, it takes a lot of the shock out of the shins/calves/ankles and has benefitted me no end. You have to be patient though and build up distance really slowly.
  6. Typical Saints, lose a late goal to win the tie away from home and then botch a very winnable tie at home against a sh1t team. Couple that with Brum getting a late winner tonight and I am really frustrated. I have been able to shrug off most of our bad form lately and not let it bother me, but I am seething right now, really worried for the rest of the season. Winning breeds confidence and we are back to square 1 again, so frustrated, we could have had a winnable home game vs Bolton for a place in the semis but now we had better start winning and fast or this season could end up being memorable for all the wrong reasons. I'm off for a lie down.
  7. A few myths being thrown out here. 50% MHR = best for fat burning; not quite true. It's the intensity that burns the highest % of fat (compared to other energy sources). If exercising at higher intensities (i.e. heart rates) you burn a lower percentage of your fuel as fat but use more energy and thus more total fat (even though it is a lower % of your total expenditure). More than 3-4 hours of exercise will leave you burned out and at greater risk to viral and bacterial infection; again, that's only a half truth. Yes continued strenuous exercise will depress the immune system and burn you out, but again this is down to the individual. Moderate exercise will actually stimulate the immune system, so if colin isn't going all out in every workout he is probably protecting himself against infection. You have to put the things you hear into context, i.e. the individual who is performing the exercises.
  8. Run 5 times a week. I am in training for at least 5 half marathons (and some 5 and 10km races) this year. I love it, ran my first marathon last year in 3:55, don't have the time to do those really long runs this year, but will put in about 2000kms in all. Took a lot of patience and building up slowly to get to this point where I can run virtually every day (hard speed workouts and long runs) without it taking a toll on my legs. In the best shape of my life at the moment, hope to go sub 1:40 in the half marathon this year (PB is 1:44).
  9. another poor final ball, ruined a good move, he could have had a pop from there as well....fuksake
  10. Euro 96, Tiss woulda taken a pen too...
  11. Lost Shearer, Razor and Horne, bah, what a sh1tty offseason that was...
  12. get the fukk inn. Take that you close harmony singers!!
  13. Billy Sharp having medical??? dunno but I am having kittens, c'mon put pen to paper NOW!!!
  14. Typical Saints fan, Alps knows that 3 is never enough...
  15. Meh, Bolton always beat us 1-0...
  16. Didn't want to go to the prem any way, full of cvnts...
  17. Typical Saints. Never do stuff the easy way. This run in is going to be a real rollercoaster...
  18. -12C (-19C with windchill) here today, so pretty pleasant. We had some -30C days last week, and usually once a year we get a few days in a row of -40C which is not pleasant at all...
  19. In fairness the guy went straight on the attack, like well, a bit of a penis really...
  20. 1 of 3 dropped points. Shame about pompey being a bunch of cheating choking match fixing bottlers, frustrating for us, but think of the pompey fans, having to support that pile of festering aborted llama...
  21. Mickey Evans was brought in to try and save us from relegation. People were furious as he was from a lower league team but he ended up getting some vital goals in our run in that saved us, particularly the one he got up a Forest and another where he damn near knocked himself out after colliding with a post as he headed it in.
  22. Hey! I read that SWF thread about me....you can talk to the hand!
  23. SCHNEIDS!!! game over!!! C'mon plumpey, donny and p'boro...
  24. You clearly care, as you are still hear bleating about it. If this board means so little to you, then just walk away and so something else with your time...
