Is there a reliable cousins source for football highlights show? I'm basically only interested in a champions league round up, only get to watch one live match a day and that's on my phone and 101 great goals is far from reliable and usually crap quality"In the world, there are many kings but there is only one God.

Only 3 advantages over the nexus are a claimed splash proof coating,(something I'm not willing to test), micro hdmi connectivity, and infra red control of other devices, which is just a novelty item really.
Major negative is no drag and drop of files. Everything has to go through their own software, in a very applesque way
Edit: Sorry missed the already bought the Nexus post!

Just had a full body NCT.
No bother having my balls felt up or any other test with the doc but terrible at giving blood. Just can't stop myself from effectively fainting (obv told the doc in advance so I was lying down and didn't actually go unconscious). Anyone tried hypnotherapy or some other solution to get over a pretty bad blood phobia?

Hate seeing blood my own blood, don't mind seeing others bleed/have bloods taken. Won't faint but go ridic weak at knees etc.
Probably from having a axe in my head and pumping blood into my eyes etc when young. Maybe someone swinging a little watch back and forth will fix me.

I've never been healthier thankfully.
Mrs V got us some new upgraded insurance with her new job so there was no need for me to get checked out but I haven't been in with the Doc since 2009.
I decided it might be a good opportunity to get a healthy baseline established so if something was to happen in 5-10 years time the doctors wouldn't be able to say "it must be your crazy diet" etc. Plus I want to get the detailed blood work done to see what my cholesterol profile looks like.

No I was referring to RDIII approaching 40. You're right I'm 33 hitting 34 pretty soon. Thankfully looking closer to my age these days as well.‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

I actually weigh less now (just over 12st) than I did 10 years ago. How this is the case I have no idea. I put it down to giving up competitive sport, taking up poker, drinking more and eating whatever the fuck I want.

Originally posted by Strewelpeter View PostI saw an article somewhere claiming that it was some sort of evolutionary advantage to faint at the sight of blood.

It's more the whole medical vials of blood being taken thing that seems to get to me. I do remember reading something like that article myself but I think you could argue any phobia has a basis in evolution but clearly it's become oversensitive by our upbringing or personal experiences.
I mean a fear of heights is not a bad thing but being petrified or passing out is debilitating.

I can't quote the post from old thread but I'm not sure if I'm stunned at the dumbness or in awe of the masochistic degeneracy of a lad like PSV in using the same lotto numbers all the time
When it opened first I got sucked into a syndicate where we removed one number by perming 7 each using our own numbers. This went on for a few years before they made a balls of the game, turning it into a lottery by increasing the number of balls
Now twenty years later I still struggle to forget everyone elses numbers while mine no matter how hard I try cannot be erased.
A few weeks ago one Sunday morning 6AM news on the radio I woke in a panic after I heard all 6 numbers. turns out I'd misheard and it was only five including the bonus number.
Stupid numbers... they weren't even all primes FFS!Turning millions into thousands

€155 seems like a bargain imo.
re:bf, I got tested last week (PT did it for free) and had estimated 18%. Result - 19.2%. Gonna have to cut out the treats for a bit and get down to 15 by Christmas.
Must have been up around 30% at some stage in last 2 years if I'm still 19.2% considering the massive difference in body shape.
also re: chins. I recently put a chin up bar on my jacks door. Every visit, pump out a rep or two. Then two reps or three etc etc. In 6/7 weeks you'll be flying with them.Last edited by Emmet; 25-10-12, 09:15.
