American Psycho

If Christian Bale has ever given a better performance than in this I haven't seen it. Just a weird, fucked up movie in which he is just awesomely psychotic. So many quotable lines and scenes although possibly let down a bit by a slightly anti climatic ending ?

Fuck there were some absolute wankers in the 80s.....

I think everyone decides to make lame digs about Wellingtons weather cos deep down they know that everywhere else in New Zealand sucks complete arse in comparison to the best little capital in the World.

It's great, but a bit difficult to enjoy when you're soaking wet and trying not to get blown away in a gale. We went back to Lower Hutt one Christmas and after yet another day of drizzle my brother (who barely remembers NZ) asked why we hadn't come in summer. But if you don't give a shit about the weather then all good .

I don't. That's what umbrellas and beanies are for.

I don't think a bit of rain and wind makes a place bad, people constantly gripe about it when it happens while they visit here like it's the first time they've ever seen it in their lives and their own homelands are some utopia without wind and rain.

Get a grip and stop exaggerating.

I don't think a bit of sun makes a place great, people constantly boast about it when it happens (can't beat Wellington on a good day) like it's the only place they've ever seen in their lives with sun and others own homelands are some dystopia that never get sun.

Get a grip and stop exaggerating.

Actually our catchphrase does irk me I have to admit.

Doesn't help if the umbrella gets blown inside out.
Agree about the sun thing though. Plenty of God awful shit holes with nice weather

Exactly.

I moved to London just before Xmas many moons ago. Hated it.

Everyone said "oh wait til Summer, it'll be heaps better"

It wasn't, it was just considerably hotter.

Mate, Wellington is awesome. Sensational place, except for the weather

no, it's because the weather in Wellington is fucked.

You choose not to even live in NZ so your opinion is rendered moot.

@Kirwan said in Fatbusting: Kirwan's log:

Ha, this thread is so old that the software checked that I didn't want to start a new thread instead.

Been a year (almost) since the last update. 2018 was a bit of a write off for diet and exercise, but by the end of the year I had the health mostly sorted out. To the degree that the specialist I was seeing recently told me he doesn't need to see me anymore, and everything seems normal now.

He put me on an intermittent fasting diet to get some of my hormones back in check, and it's more than done the trick. Essentially doing the 16/8 everyday, often 20/4 (had to build up to that), and am eating at a calorie deficit (1800 to 1500) on the feed days and at least two days a week drop to 800 calories. So 16/8 + 5/2 basically, lots of protein and vegetables.

I started that in January, and I have lost 10kg from the peak of my illness.

Has also made a huge difference to energy levels, concentration. My memory is still not great, but that's easy enough to manage.

I had a couple of experiements with jogging and 10min HIT burst on a indoor bike. No headaches or any of the other symptoms I had been experiencing. I was too heavy for the running, so am waiting until I get a bit more weight off before adding that back in regularly.

The doctor thinks it'll take another year to get the exercise sorted out. It won't be crossfit, but I do want to get back into some sort of weight lifting.

At the current rate of weight loss, at some point in late May I'll be back to the weight I was before I got sick in 2015.

Next mini goal is 83kg, hopefully only three weeks away.

I can't speak highly enough of intermittent fasting, makes those drinking sessions much easier to handle, aside from that and bags of chippies ( grrrrrrrrr ) I don't really have too many vices. The 16/8 has the belt feeling looser in a matter of days I reckon.

@No-Quarter said in Christchurch Gunman in Mosque:

Sorry, looks like I kicked off a series of rants there but gezz it's hard not to comment about these bloody narcissists. Which is probably exactly what they want, so maybe I need to take a bit of a break from social and mainstream media.

Radical lefties and the alt-right really are two sides of the same coin.

Nail head dude. The gunman ( and I still don't know his name without googling ) could have easily supported Isis instead and gunned down a church full of Christians.

I made a slightly self indulgent FB post yesterday saying how my folks and I took my sons to the Mosque to give some flowers. To reiterate a sentiment which thankfully has prevailed over the likes of any bullshit rhetoric and "white shame" crap that some people have chosen to push their own self indulgence the three generations of my family were all humbled and felt so welcome as we joined the Muslim community of Kilbirnie and all shared a few moments of reflection.

It was incredibly moving, there was a bit of dust in the room and I'm so glad I actually ponied up and went, my boys appreciated that not everyone in life is as lucky as they are.

I've made the odd flippant remark ( well more than "the odd" ) like so many people about other races and religions but there is a MASSIVE difference between doing that and gunning down 50 innocent people.

Shitcunts in the Green party would do well to think about that from time to time.
