I've stumbled into a series of books by Donald Hamilton about a 'spy' called Helm. They're from the 60s and of their time, but i'm enjoying them.

2024 has started with chronic chest phlegm - coughing like billyo (any ideas anyone) and a strange pain round my right knee and down my leg! oh the joys of getting older in winter!
Coincidentally, this has been me since pre Christmas, with the random pain in my left ankle. I also often sound like im a creaking door when i breathe. 've had enough and im off to Docs in 15 mins

Saw this and was reminded of this thread. 175kg is obviously good but over 20 reps at over 100kg blows my mind even more:
We were informed that England starlet Tyler Dupree can bench press up to 175kg, and comfortably does over 20 reps at 100kg.
The NFL uses 100k in the draft.
If i remember rightly:
Linemen: 30+
Linebackers / Tight Ends: 25+
RBs: 20+
DBs: 15+
The record is close to 50.
Athletes with a real grounding in weight training from an early age. We don't take it seriously enough, though the shift to functional strength over pure gym strength is clearly more important in RL.

He's a good signing. One of the better outside backs in SL, can play two positions, and only contracted for one year.
Such high standards.

I’m sure Waqa Blake wasn’t there first choice but there was really no else available this late in the offseason. But Waqa Blake is still a superb attacking player and is capable of some brilliance. Did you watch him for Fiji in the Internationals this season he was superb in all three of those games. Probably Fiji’s best player and one of the best players of that whole series.
He is absolutely rapid and give him space he is a problem.
Meh. Ideally, our best club (arguably), shouldn't be signing a player who isn't in the top 25 in his position.
-
I don't get Waqa Blake at Saints. I could start to understand it if he were off to Huddersfield or Cas, but he shouldnt be good enough to be at a top 3 club.

Interestingly, the new proposals in football around the 'Super League' include promotion and relegation...

I would have liked to see him go now and try and become a 6. I think he could be a superstar at that position.
With respect to how good he is, he's not in the top 3 full backs in the world at the moment and would need to prove it to be justifiably mentioned in the same conversation as Ponga and Walsh, never mind alongside Cleary et al as the best in the world as well
Choice of club is massive. I'd hate to see him at Wests or some other basket case like the Dragons. Saying that, a massive club brings it's own pressure in that market.

The shift was a lot better today. I did only what I now know I need to do and actually got finished a little early so just wandered round looking like I was working for half an hour!
Flap your wings and scare a few joggers?

I was always taught you did the calculations in brackets if there is any and then do the rest of the problem in order as it is written. So if the 8 x 8 was in brackets you would get -48 but it isn't in brackets here so, like I say, I was taught you just did the separate calculations in the order they are written.
This is where i stand. No brackets, no order of calculations required

Thanks. I'm gonna look at Hexclad today if i can be bothered.

Thoughts?
We need new ones and I know they're some cooks on here. All I'm looking for is a good versatile frying pan and saucepan

Old lad in the steam room today opened a 2 litre bottle of Lucozade. There's something inherently wrong here.
However. if it was a 2 litre bottle of water, filled from the cold shower outside, then that would have been fine.
Would a smaller bottle been ok?
