I'd have thought that the 12/1 about Australia isn't long enough?

I think it's too long

remember the last 4th innings England batted?

Back in at 5/1.

Surely England can hit 150

(to answer your question, no, not at all. I only follow cricket to wind up the office here)

[shrapnel]

someone told me it's a lot more expensive than the ferry, is that true? tbh, ferry could only be a couple of hours so train from Paris or Brussels into Central London is attractive but can't really see the justification for taking the car.

it is if you book the ferry long time in advance.

I'd originally booked the ferry for £100 return about 4 months ago. at the time shuttle was around £200.

Ferry company went under so had to rebuy tix 3 weeks ago. Ferries and shuttle were pretty similar with the shuttle being £30 or £40 more expensive at £290, but is a lot quicker (normally).

Once again, today is the day when I'm handing in my notice. Seems like a lot of that has happened in recent years, but it's only the 2nd time I've actually left somewhere where I had the option of staying on in the last 12 years, so not that bad.

Be glad to get out of here in 2 weeks though before I kill someone.

What's next Dom?
Same industry or spreading your wings?

No never heard of him before. I'd say if I tried to swim 1500m I'd drown.

[6starpool]

Definitely out of the funds industry, preferably out of financial services altogether, but that might be a pipe dream, although I have been recommended by a friend who was fairly senior to a company she recently left that is not financial services, and it has a good daily rate so that would be good.

We'll see.

what do you do anyway?

[tylerdurden94]

I've no problem with porridge, cycling, running, gel packs or whatever else you want to do. But don't confuse a focus on results versus a focus on effort imo.

You want to feel like you've worked hard for your fitness goals. That's the narrative that everyone expects so you want to conform and play the role. The reality is it's about changing habits, being smarter and watching the impact various changes have in your individual circumstances.

I stand by my view that simply eating right, sleeping and walking would give you a very significant fat loss. Then I'd get into stretching and body weight exercises followed by some cardio and weightlifting over time. ( time being 18 months or so). In a few words patience and a relentless focus is what is required not overdoing it. In poker parlance you're playing too many hands imo.

I think you're overthinking it and complicating it for the sake of conforming versus relentlessly focussing on achieving outstanding massive results.

I'm kinda confused by what you're saying "But don't confuse a focus on results versus a focus on effort imo", as I've mentioned to you before unlike yourself I don't/won't cut out everything for the rest of my life when I get to a point I'm happy I'll be able to bring back in things and be able to (hopefully) keep it a normal level and not let myself get into really bad habits like before.

Defo struggle with the relentless focus as you call it but I don't beat myself up over it, can be a picky eater unlike yourself so do stress about that when it comes to eating and when travelling for work it's something I REALLY freak about, since starting out I've pretty much ate better (for a considerable part) & walked a lot and it's giving me tremendous results but always enjoyed cycling when younger and since getting back into it I've really taken to it and enjoy it so wanted to take up something extra with my free time over the summer.

11 months in and I'm very pleased with my progress & if/when I hit 4 stone by September I'll be more than chuffed.

Any decent movies to download and watch over the weekend?

The Overnighters / Montage of Heck / Jodorowsky's Dune / 20 Feet from Stardom / Rich Hill all documentaries but worth the watch.

Having been reading the back and forth posts I just thought I would chime in with a outside perspective even though I don't think anyone will take much from this until they have been through it themselves. Already you are talking about things in terms of having a goal weight. Once you get to it then you can relax. This generally while everyone has the best intentions leads to cycles and I know that from others and personal experience this is often the case.

Basically after getting myself into shape, I would then tend to relax until little by little things would slip. It might not even be a case of slipping but when you go from doing 3/4 days excerise and eating very healthy all the time it doesn't take long for things to spiral out of control when you relax a little. Even the fact you have probably changed the pace of your metabolism. I would then tend to spend a couple of months getting back into shape, rinsing and repeat the cyle for far too long. I think V is trying to say that coming up with a way of life that is sustainable forever is a much better strategy if your ultimate goal is just to be a certain weight and reasonably healthy. It may be a much slower process but very few people know enough about the whole process if they haven't been through it before to be able to target a weight get there very quickly and then slow down enough to just maintain.

Huge congrats on the weight loss so far.

No, same as Keane, never heard of him.

I normally start a length of the pool, stop half way and just lie on my back for a few meters. out then and into the Jacuzzi.

ah Cook was ridiculously unlucky in the first innings while playing really well

Lyth has been muck alright

[Tar.Aldarion]

@Tar, what IDE do you use for python?

Heya, I don't use an IDE for python. I use gedit (which is essentially notepad).

I would suggest pycharm though.

Keep cycling as it is huge for weight loss. I went from 83kg to 70kg and it is mainly down to cycling.

Pycharm looks the best option for me imo.

Edit, anyone got any experience with cloud IDEs? Had a look at codeanywhere the other day, seems very interesting. Great idea. Combining github and an IDE effectively. Allows you to connect your google drive to it direction and just develop on there through any browser.

Think the main point V has always been drilling has been it's a the long game and something I'm focused on and to change how things will go for the future, don't want to get into a yoyo way fluctuating all over the place, being smarter & think about what you eat & not needing to kill yourself in a gym etc, like getting out for a walk and putting the headphones on & watch the world go by is something I enjoy. He's a couple years into it for him he's hook/link/sinker involved in it but his mentality/willpower whatever you want to call is miles ahead of mine.

Got disheartened sometimes along the way when guys who were out killing themselves in the gym etc where shedding weight like crazy but knew from talking with V that I'd be fine in the long run and low & behold those have either shot back up or completely given up, decided when I was going to do it wasn't going to go broadcasting it on Facebook/Twitter whatever because if it went tits up I'd look foolish so pretty much kept it to myself.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the next year plays out & after that...

[Raoul Duke III]

I don't give England much of a chance (just don't see them bowling Aus out twice) and Australia are unbackable.

Backing Bell at 12/1 to be top batsman. He is still the classiest England batsman and will get plenty of opportunity to show it. Root is overrated imo

OK, he's still miles behind in this but he is batting like a dream tbf

[Raoul Duke III]

ha, fuck off Australians. World's worst losers getting some more practice in.

Although no doubt they will win at Trent Bridge, which should be much more batting friendly, and set up a winner takes all finale at the Oval. test cricket

Python is so readible you don't need no IDE Sure I got a job in it never having done it before, I love it now.
I'm the least hardcore here, the rest use vi and emacs.

I've heard of codeanywhere in regards to pair programming which made no sense to me.

Of course it's fun to push it Lloyd. It Makes life worth living. I just want Danny to have the good habits drilled in. Once that is there then the rest is gravy. Paleo gravy of course!!

Everyone is different. I'm the oddball at this stage but I just want to see Danny get incredible results which I don't think he fully believes are possible without "giving up" some of his comforts and I 100% disagree with that mindset. You can actually have it all imo we've just been sold a pup of sacrifice and pain from people with stuff to sell.

PS Danny is built for squatting and deadlifting like a beast. Cycling is a grand way to spend an hour but I'd love to see him lifting.

Have to say I'm pretty jealous of young folk these days. There is so much free info on the net wrt to how to train and a lot of good gyms with decent equipment. Add in tinder so you don't have to piss away your earnings in futile last ditch nightclub missions and you'd have to say the cunts have it better all round then those who grew up in the dark ages of the 80s and 90's
