The Silver Fern

Finished semi 2, and the final. Enjoyed it actually. Amazing how quickly a tune can earworm with just a second listen.

Still not as good as last year, though, which was a cracker.

@majorrage Good stuff. Let me know if I can help out with anything

Only 3 days in and today I feel properly awful. Body is clearly not used to zero carbs at all & I can feel I have withdrawals of something (not because I'm an addict, just googled the way I'm feeling and it's right in line with carb withdrawals). Headaches, constipation, general weakness ... TMI coming up, but it's interesting when I do manage to pass something. Sounds like a brick is hitting the water ...

I quite enjoy the diet honestly, although I struggle to see how it's going to make us reduce our meat intake due to the extra protein. Decided not to drink any wine this week too to kickstart myself into it. Scales already down 1.5kg since Sunday morning, although that's all water obviously. Have only been for one run which went fine (55 mins, 10k) today I'll run again (40 mins 7k) and that will be a test. I suspect I'll really struggle having had no raw carbs since Sunday.

The book have been absolutely compelling reading though. My brain is wired similarly to his, so wanting to really understand how you change your inputs to get your outputs has really appealed to me. I've been looking for years for that long term solution to not only lose weight, but keep it off. So far, I've found this really thought provoking.

First cheat day has already been arranged, although I think mentally I'll find it difficult to fully unload. School fireworks gala followed by pub with friends Saturday evening. Will be odd to know that I can eat / drink whatever I want given I'm in diet mode. The best thing though is that we are having friends over for Sunday roast, and I can participate at 99%. A couple of glasses of red over the afternoon, no roast potatoes and I'm fully inline with the diet. And having had carbs the day before, I should be in a decent position to do a 90 minute run in the morning too.

Mentally, that's great.

@Rancid-Schnitzel geez I'd hate to see what is big then, that and Archie have absolutely dominated morning television. More so than in Britain I reckon.

Good news for Hamilton:

A new type of antibiotic for treatment of urinary tract infections in women could also work against gonorrhea infections, a new study finds. This could put the medication, called gepotidacin, on track to become the first new antibiotic for gonorrhea since the 1990s.

WHOOO!

Honky Tonk Man held that until the Warrior wasted him in the late 80s.

Honky says he suggested a 30 second thrashing because Warrior was dangerous in the ring, so he didn't want to spend any more time than he had to.

Someone mentioned Demolition as still wrestling, One Man Gang (aka Akeem), Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Powers of Pain, Haku, Rikishi, Brutus the Barber Beefcake and Tito Santana also still lace up the boots occasionally.

@Godder check this out at about 1.49. Honky Tonk moves so as it's easier for the Warrior to put on the big splash hahahaha. Gosh wrestling was a great laugh....

One of the best videos to show kids that it's more theatre than fighting.

I've been youtubing a few old classics. Geez Andre was a ( massive ) waste of space towards the end of his career. He could barely walk let alone actually wrestle.

Fucking hilarious given our Federal Government has recently "restructed" the CSIRO - particularly in the climate change area.

Where is the money going to come in for this stuff?

I started watching in 2014. Italy would have got all my votes that year

How’s it working out for you?

Love this video

Arthur was told he would never walk unassisted. With DDP Yoga, this disabled veteran learned to run again. This is his success story.

Yeah something like that is RIGHT up my alley despite basically being a non runner. I fucken love Zombie movies and have already planned a trip over the rimutakas should the unthinkable happen and we get invaded. Rapa folk have an average of about 5 firearms per household so my plan is to hold up there and wait for the cavalry to come and save us.
