First real heavy session since my kidney removal and my prostate op. 190kg (40kg x bar). Used the x bar for less upper body stress.

A nice 30c degrees today here on Venice beach. Wondering if I packed my factor 50 in my gym bag.

Fight to go ahead in December. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
I hope Paul doesn't get hurt and AJ makes a lot of money. It just seems unbelievable.

Always suspected why they are so best to military bases.

He s going to be one.of the great England background players but the greatest compliment I can pay him is that every player on the other team must be lining up to give him a smack.

Great win for England. Hope every expert who said they would never win with Ford at 10 are now going to come on and explain what went wrong. Oh and at the same time explain again why Borthwick is the wrong coach.

I took a week's leave for this and took a girl from the base with me. I had the shortest hair there. The weather was horrendous, fortunately I was near to my family home so we slept in a dry bed, well Katie did, my mother made me sleep on the settee. Heartbreaking.
The acts though were outstanding.

Use calf compression sleeves. You want bar as near to your shins as possible. The farther away from your body the more stress in on your back. The bar needs to be right, not floating.
The sleeves will prevent scarring.

In the mid 1960s if you were a young mod there was nobody cooler than The Temps or The Impressions. They personified what Mod was about.
And today? They are still the coolest guys I ever saw.

This Paul Golding arriving at a Remembrance Sunday event, pissed and wearing Union Jack knickers on his head?

They only read the Old Testament. I would hate to see what "perfect" meant.

No special reason, just a beautiful poem. My favourite

Another 2nd half win for the Blue devils. Early observation, but not a criticism is 2nd half teams don't win a championship.

Massive game from Jaylen Brown last night. Back in the W column.

Just putting my hospital playlist together and spent an happy half hour listening to the delightful Francois Hardy.

Sarah Pochin is simply a racist gobshite. Political scum. People who support and follow her views are all of the above.
stand up against it and fight it.

Of the question is "How do we best Australia" the answer is not "Mikey Lewis".
We were out skilled, out paced, out muscled and out classed.
I don't think it was as bad as the 1982 seismic class difference but it was bad. Worse still it was hard to see were improvement can come from.

Just seen the team for Saturday and apparently all hope lies with Mikey Lewis. I remember watching the 1982 Kangaroos at Wigan in the 2nd test and they butchered us. I was with 2 RAF friends who couldn't believe the athleticism and size of the Aussies.
I fear the same on Saturday
