Not sure if I’m more gutted for you or that Mark beat me to the punch.
Hope you recover quick man, can’t be fun when your rectum goes sightseeing.
LOL I had a feeling a few guys on here would want to give it to me !! It is certainly not something I would wish on any of my mates.

I’ve never had any problems with my back side so I didn’t feel qualified to say anything.
However, I had a tiny bit of gas squeak out during my first working set of deadlifts tonight and I honestly wasn’t sure if it was gas or solid. I also didn’t check when the set was done. I thought that if it was solid then it was being held in place and I didn’t want to mess that up.
I eventually figured out it was gas.

I’ve nothing substantial to add at the moment. Just stopping by to say hi, glad your lifting is going very well, the hemmorhoid (sp?) sucks and, ummmm… Does the idea of a cold, snowy Christmas strike you southern hemisphere dwellers as particularly un-Christmasy? Of course, you’re from jolly ol’ England, so your view may be a tad skewed…

Hey mate good to hear from you. As you say I am from up there so my usual picture of Christmas is a cold snowy one (not that there is ever any snow in London at Christmas).
I have got used to a warm one and actually like it now. The kids get to enjoy there new things like bikes and roller skates, we play backyard cricket, we can sit in the garden late into the evening. It’s good.

I hear you; I’m from Albuquerque, New Mexico and, while we get reasonably cold winters, we rarely have snow on Christmas. In fact, a warm Christmas would definitely lend itself to a wider range of holiday activities.

Last day of school for the year for the kids today and its going to be a scorcher. I have to leave work early today to pick the kids up at lunch time. Will train again later tonight but its going to be 44C. The gym isn’t manned after 15:00 today which means the aircon wont be on later, just the big fans. Training tonight is not going to be pleasant.
