I'll definitely get a bike once we move out of London. Not riding anywhere in or around this place though, I barely feel safe driving a car here.

It's not spin classes, that's for sure. Went to my first one in several years today - by the end the handlebars kept slipping because I'd sweated on them so much.

Turns out being off the booze was the least of your worries then.

I... don't need to?

I wouldn't watch a TV show about them either...

It's a bit second-rate like the Paralympics I suppose, except your disability is that your ancestors have to have been butchered by Victorian toffs in silly hats.

Still got it.

I've seen this line of logic, it ends up with Facebook retards reducing everything to "how can you care about xyz when OUR BRAVE BOYS IN AFGHANISTAN"

I wasn't aware they were socially unacceptable...

And on the plus side, it'd shut us both up for a while.

I can fucking destroy crisps too. I'll challenge you to a crisp-off some time. We'll be hospitalised from all the salt and vinegar inflaming the crisp-inflicted cuts and welts in our mouths.

What about turkey-flavour crisps? (Grand work, both. )

Aye, I'd got pretty massive like. To mix up my measurement systems, I reckon I'm still about a stone heavier than I was back then, Renton.

Mediocrity in depth.

I often do that anyway, it's one of the advantages of being a non-threatening type.

What Gemmill says aye, you've got to be a bit selfish, same as I have no problem with my fella sprinting on ahead while I plod around the park at my own pace. Might pull rank if he came close to lapping me, mind. Can't be doing with Weight Watchers like, I know how nutrition works and I'm down 23kg since December, I've just been indulging too much recently. "Tasty food is tasty" shocker, basically. Plus I still have that "once I start I can't stop" mentality, it's just less damaging when it's a multipack of Mini Cheddars instead of a bottle of no-brand vodka. Aye, that was definitely a concern, you worry that your friends might turn out to be total dickheads and that you must also have been a dickhead over the years when drunk. Turns out everyone's been dead canny though (except The Fish who's a knob even when he's sober, obviously). It's all going fine really, there's plenty of random drinks you can have when you're out to keep things interesting (except if you're in the kind of pub that only has Carling and Heineken as its draught lagers, in which case are they fuck going to have anything more interesting than Diet Coke and tonic water), and the caffeine and sugar "hangovers" are punishment enough at this age, frankly.

All of them, then?

Hit a plateau recently because I've been eating all kinds of crap, so I've started using MyFitnessPal again to keep me honest. It won't last (I usually get bored of it after a week or two) but it's good for a little discipline boost every so often. Second Parkrun this morning (skipped last week because I'd jarred my knee), still a right old plod but the main thing is it's happening, I guess.

People with no self-awareness about how loud they're being, e.g. (to cite an example completely at random) during the quiet parts of a gig
