Red is Dead

You can now add Aladdin to the list. Got bought tickets for the born day from Wifey. Anything that didnt have genie in it.....meh. Jasmine and al were overpowered by the music. Genie did the memory of RW proud. I lost my shit at the end of friend like me when they did the dance routine .Proper old style hoofin'

oh absolutely the clothes thing is the best. from age 18 I've been a xx or xxx l size shirt / tee. I've always been and going to be barrel chested, but being able to buy and fit into a xl for the first time in 20 years brought a tear to a glass eye.

Absolutely - because I look at myself every morning in the mirror, Ii don't see much of the change. Neither wifey, nor C see much of the change either. My mum however, when she was picking up C for a nana-granddaughter day looked at me and "wheres the fucking rest of you?" - so i assume she's noticed. either that or she's going blind.

Yeah, but he'll have better seats this time.

God of war. This game, this glorious game. One moment It's DOOM rip and tear, then it's a beautiful love letter to watching your child grow, understand their place in the world, and releasing the reins of parenthood a bit. But with draugr. and tattoos on rocks. Found my first valkyrie and got utterly destroyed, in a hot minute. One second she screamed, the next mimir was asking if that was it. but my favourite moments have nothing to do with the action, plot or anything major. what i love most is the incidental stuff. When Kratos rows, and Mimir just chats shit. utter bollocks lore stories. I can row all the way around the central platform for a good 20 minutes and he'll still be yammering on about thor.

For me, I'll hold my hands up and say, beer, takeaways and abject laziness were major contributing factors. So I've got three suits. One I wore to the interview, and fitted into rather well, is on this weeks rotation. The jacket is now too big and, according to my wife, "hangs off me like a sack". I'll see if i can add a pic. comparisons to david byrne gifs will not handled well. I cant see much of the weight loss, but the scales and the fact that clothes no longer fit me, as they're too big and not me not being too big for them, means I'm going in the right direction.

life is pain, suffering and misery; an inevitable march towards obsolescence. Happy birthday OSJ.

Month and a half after that last update. 18lbs lost. said goodbye to 270 lbs, 260 lbs forever. FOREVER. Now to start a bit of weight/resistance training as the cardio is good for a 250lb dude, but the definition is lacking a lil bit. Never going to hit sub 200lbs wihtout years and years of work. But If i can hit 210 with a bit of a gut, but upper body muscle and leg muscle, I'll be alright, i reckon.

@ryan just going to cover them in strawberry jam, stand next to an anthill in nought but a kilt and a string vest, screaming down the anthill their mothers spent evenings up against walls with sailors. that might do the trick.

Mikey, aka red. 38 in a week and a half. grey hairs are supposed to make you distinguished, dont they? just not on the eyebrows....or balls. Been around here since the mid 00's, I believe, in one form or another. Was recommended this site from another. Father to a 5 year old girl who can throws a pretty decent dropkick, and who loves her some new day (daddy the big man is funny....you have no idea sweetie), husband to a scientist who just about puts up with my weird past-time of viewing men in pants hit each other very hard (why dont you train for that, babe, get in shape....round IS a shape darling, and i have a fear of people hurting me) Started a new job recently so havent been posting here for a wee while. tend to do long story type this is my life, venting posts. Welcome back!

how would you like them to respond to that, if they *do* have you on ignore?

Congrats JH. Glad momma and baby are looking so healthy. Welcome to the world, Sandra. Hope you had a good journey.

trials fusion and trackmania are deliberately designed for people to get high blood pressure. They're awful games; i love them.

Blah blah new job, check the stuff thread for the history. So, with the new job, I am now a commuter, with all that entails. Walking. Lots and lots of walking. Quick local geography and transport lesson for the 1776 crew. 1 mile from front door to local train station. 15 minutes walk. I then got off the train (up until a fortnight ago, anyways) at London Blackfriars and walk to the office just by the shard. For those who have never been to London village, that's just south of the river, and a mile and a bit from the office. Fantastic walk, going past the Tate modern (modern art), the globe theatre (some bloke called Bill was a writer), the anchor pub (one of the oldest in London) the old clink (london dungeon for the poor) and the fabulous borough market (foodie heaven, 16 wings for under 5 dollars). Downside - my 19 stone / 270 pound ass is sweating like Lebron in game 7 by the time i get to the office. and THEN i had to do the walk back at the end of the day. Deep unbridled joy. And a new pair of sneakers. Upside - london bridge station is now open so i can get a direct train which stops pissing distance from the office. AND, I may have just said goodbye to the 19 stone bit. I can feel the muscles in my thighs more - whether due to the loss of fat around there, or increase in muscle through walking, who knows - good feeling though. Clothes fit slightly better, and feel better. The sweating still hasnt stopped, but I've adapted Big E's big wool nickname - chunky jumper - always going to be a heavy sweater. so yeah - tl:dr, new job, lots of walking to and from, instead of driving. red has got his first milestone.

He had a pretty decent if basic attack for chun-li. His ego will unfortunately bring him back...

Never having seen it - I was mystified. But fuck me sideways - it was Stewart and Mckellan. I would have sold my mother to get tickets.

I realised that as I got to the final section. Goddamn I hated that towards the end. Wasnt intuitive at all.

Good way to finish off the weekend - get my first archery medal (>194 points at 20 yards over 3 dozen arrows) Best way to start a post WM Monday? Getting a call from the company who interviewed me to say I was head and shoulders above the other candidates and they want me to start as soon as I can. So ultimately this shit fest of a year is about to get a WHOLE lot better. Even if does mean commuting into the big smoke.

Not as close as I thought it was going to be. Video packages were better, Taker match was better, main event was better, I'd even say the match involving a McMahon was better... Only thing X7 lacked? A sober Shawn Michaels having a match.

Made all the better by Drake FLYING in afterwards...

a step up springboard ssp as your first move? Jesus H christ on a pogo stick...how do you top that? By the beautiful velveteen dream taking that insane risk and hitting the picture perfect elbow drop. Cole was probably the least deserving guy out of the lot to get it. But with TuE now holding a fair bit of power...it made some retrospective sense. If Ember gets called up, she'll struggle. She doesn't (for me anyway) have that wrestler/audience member connection in the way that asuka, sasha, or bayley did. The match was fine, but I believe she'll struggle. The multi tag was a complete schmozz. It was a mess. No real cohesion to the vein of the match. But watching AoP utterly wreck the Usos on smackdown? Count me the fuck in. Yes please. Glad black won - put andrade and vega into the us title scene immediately. andrade vs rusev, or orton? that'll do. And Gargano vs Black vs tomato chomper for the title at the next takeover? That'd work.

or, for free, online...

It's a deus ex game - there's always a non-lethal way of doing things. but the enemy AI is hawklike. you need to bone up on tech in order to be able to do it. I'm having too much fun being a murderbot with a shotgun. He may not have asked for any of this - but it's fun as fuck.

Jesus @Super Apethats a trip down memory lane. are gifs such as the one above allowed in profile pics any more? You've made me smile today Ape - needed that, man. Thanks. Really appreciate it.
