Re: Meaty goodness

Interesting. Like I say it's not for me, the way you describe how you feel after carbs is exactly what happens with me and meat. I feel bloated, sick and if I'm really lucky I'll get the shits. I would be worried about heart health as well tbh. My family don't have a great history with it either, m...

Re: Meaty goodness

I’d like my Triglycerides to come down a bit but otherwise no. All the men in my family have had heart issues or died from heart attacks. All did physical jobs and all had a crap diet. Too many carbs, too much veg oils (fried) and too much processed food. I’m a big believer in your body responds wel...

Re: Meaty goodness

Trust me I ran out of ideas before trying. The wife has better hair, skin, sleeps better, easier to concentrate (she works in insurance from home, so just numbers and tip tapping all day) plus the extra energy, weight loss, never bloated etc. it’s had a bigger difference on her than me.

Re: Bully XL

That’s the thing, they were originally bred to be more docile and relaxed. A well socialised bully breed is a great dog for families. These have been ruined by some fuckwits in the U.K. making aggressive dogs that then cant be handled by their owners and it’s showing. Saying it’s by people aren’t us...

Re: Meaty goodness

No pepper 😂

Short ribs for dinner, bacon and duck eggs for breakfast with 250g of mince. I’ll probably have 2 steaks for dinner.

It’s nice not feeling hungry or have any dips, nice steady energy all day.

I did roast potatoes in tallow a couple of weeks back though, that nearly turned me 😂

Re: BBQs

Yep, a lot of places do lean cuts with no marbeling, which imo is a pointless bit of beef to eat by itself, it’s more suited to a stew etc.

Re: Meaty goodness

Just whenever we are hungry. Sometimes nothing for a day and others eating like we won’t be fed again. No calorie counting, just eat when hungry.

Re: BBQs

Fired up the BBQ yesterday for the first time since Sienna was born. Just threw some Lidl Ribeye on it, and..... not good. TBH, of all the non-butcher meat we've tried, regular Tesco Ribeye is the best we've come across. 100% this. LIDL meat is junk, Morrisons near us is really poor. The only place...

I still have a chance then. I'm more overweight and hairier than you, I reckon 8-)

Re: Menopause is now a disability (UK)

Believe this or not, I was at a party back in November and a very pretty early 20s girl asked my wife if she was my date as she wanted to say hi.

Clearly some girls like overweight and hairy as apposed to smooth and shiny 😂

Re: Your fleet running reports

Aaaaaaaaaand my second set of actually warped discs, Brembo again but this set had done about 15000 miles. Cleaned them up, no pad transfer, clocked with a DTI and yep, 0.29mm of runout. Decided on genuine discs from Merc, £80 more for discs and pads but runout was 0.02mm and smooth as butter. I did...

Re: Running

Yeah I’d assumed he was doing the junior one :shock: He’s getting some pace as well. PB so far is 30m45. I reckoned a month or so ago that he’ll be under 30 mins by the end of this year. I think I’ll revise that to some time over summer. Amazing given he’s the shortest in his class at 4’, running n...

Re: Menopause is now a disability (UK)

Does that make it less seedy? I'm not saying he has to go on a register or anything, just couldn't imagine dating someone 20 years younger myself. Like, early 20s folk look like kids to me now. Aslong as they act like an adult and are of age I don’t think it’s seedy at all. Whatever makes people ha...

I think if I was the 41 that I am and I was attracting model Hollywood types then an equal childhood watching Thundercats wouldn’t be on the chat list. It would be all yachts, holidays and supercars. I’m pretty sure the women are doing it for mainly a bedpost tick and some great holidays, I doubt th...

Has anyone been prosecuted for bad breeding or anything other than them not being registered or muzzled ?

Re: Your fleet running reports

I do mine every 9000 as I set it to fixed servicing. If I had a modern diesel I’d half the fuel filter interval and the same with the oil if I was doing shorter trips mainly.

You can get the oil sampled but that’s not cheap and oil and filters aren’t bad, especially cartridge style ones.
