Just back in from a cycle with my boy to find somewhere open with Waitrose, Tesco, M&S and Co-op all shut so got some cans and wine at the garage and took two hours. My legs feel like they've had a good workout today.

Have you started lifting to failure yet, or are you still mincing around in there?

But that drip on the bathroom sink waste pipe won't fix itself  .
You're right though; no point fretting  .

Some plumbers mate if you have any otherwise I would leave alone, if you mess about with it then you can't get out to b&q in the event you need a new part your fecked.

I wish I'd read this earlier  .
I already had what I needed, I called at Screwfix this morning (though they gave me some of the wrong stuff but that's another story). Cracked on with the old pipes as the new were too big. Turned the water on and it's going everywhere; I mean everywhere.
Shouted to my missus to turn the water off but she couldn't manage it (that too is another story). I ran downstairs to do it and in the panic I couldn't manage it. I eventually composed myself and turned it off but by now water was coming through the ceiling
The new flexi hose had kinked inside so wasn't allowing the water to flow through. By now the lights are flickering
Turned the power off, mopped up best we could and I sorted the flexi hose out and got it on.
Just left the lights off to dry out, so things not too bad apart from a bit of bubbly wallpaper.
It was my own fault for rushing and forcing the flexi hose on. Frank Spencer eat your heart out  .
I wished I'd worked in this weather now  .

That's a job for when the weather is better as it's bound to go pear shaped. I have a cistern dripping in the attic shower room which will stay that way!

Forget plumber's mate get a plumber, mate  . 
I think I went into shock when I got blasted with water  .  Our bathroom is freezing as it is.
I know how those people who fall into icy water feel now  . Panic just sets in.
At least we've got the heating back on and it's staying on all night.

of course i do tosh.what would be the point in lifting weights aimlessly with no intensity and focus?(like 3/4 of the people in there).

what makes me laugh is theres usually a few skinny guys there 25 years my junior (usually lifting heavier weights than me!) yet im 10 times the size of them in all areas,shoulders/chest/arms/back etc.......

its nothing to do with how heavy the weights are,its working the muscle hard that your working(isolation/peak contraction/good form etc)to failure...it helps that i eat like a horse too... ...also i only rest 60-90 seconds between sets.

what annoys me is that most people in the gym spend half their time messing about on their phones.they should ban them altogether IMO....some are on facebook,others are taking pics and videos.,others are chatting away,one guy came up to me and said is it ok if i post this video on facebook(im in it)

...you do get some really fit women in my local gym though so thats a bonus.....
