    Regarding Covid

    Chances are even if they had taken the vaccine they might still have died. It really was that effective.

    The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

    Thanks. I have plans for a lovely scarf and gloves when the time comes 🤪 I was in Hemsedal ski centre the other day and there was an old man wearing a Gillet made from Wolf skin. Colouring and markings were almost identical. Might have to change the scarf and glove plans.

    Did you see the state of his leg afterwards. Takeru is a tough Mo-Fo, I think he thought he could just punch his way to victory and didn’t take the leg kicks seriously. Complete warrior but more fool him. Fractured knee cap and an extremely tenderised quad.

    I have a few jars of tiger balm kicking about. I have used it a lot over the years. My father used to swear by the copper bracelets.

    Need a term.

    I always though Pioneer species or Pioneer tree was a term to refer to a tree that will spread seed with the winds. Like the Pioneers of days gone by, they will end up in the strangest of places. Example would be Birch trees, Sycamore, Maple etc. Thos helicopters and catkins will spread far...

    The Joke/Funny Pic/Video Thread

    Not had much interaction to be honest. I have noticed that the ladies are sent out to beg. In the summer they sleep in cars and hang around the parks in the centre of the city. They carry large bin liners and walk around collecting used cans for pant. They often ask if you have finished when...

    Exercise

    Haha. I got more rope than you can imagine. Nothing beats a Thai rope. The smoothness of the bearing. The weight in the arms and shoulder and the inevitable broken big toe nails. Can do that with even some of the thickest off cuts of rigging line.

    Definitely get a Thai rope though for anyone looking to jump rope Hard to explain the difference until you go back to skinny rope. When I was training in Thailand we used to run 8km -12km in the morning and then skip for 30 minutes before training. Same in the afternoon. Afternoon session...

    Ever been to Acoma Pueblo? I visited there in ‘97 and it captivated me. The stories of their history were amazing.

    Rich, try getting a Thai rope for your jump rope. Thicker and heavier than a standard jump rope. Works the arms and shoulders a lot more. Great cardio and if you’re feeling brave do it barefoot. You will definitely learn how to jump the rope and clipping your toes is eye wateringly painful...
