IGX

KEXP Live; a seatle radio station I believe. Lots of good bands depending on what you like, I highly recommend it.

Radio 4; In Our time, More or less, and the reith lectures. Become cleverer in the space of 20 mins/.

Is it true they've ceded control of certain neighborhoods to them in terms of policing and law? Western guilt about assimilation leads to lack of common principles and agreements on the basic values that define a society. When a group is actively trying to upend your culture, and you let them creat...

I have some mates who are ex-paras. They're all unhinged. They don't retire very well.

Bukowski, Ham on Rye. I like the seediness of his writing. Good shit.

Peaky blinders looks promising. But so did ripper street till it got silly.

odin, Congrats...just curious, how many days a week did you average? As with Dan's 40-Day Program, high consistency is the key to making it work. I did the 40 Day a few years ago and liked it; I'm sure I'd like S&S as well. Yes, I definitely favour that kind of approach. I am using the program ...

I haven't entered a meet in a long time, and went at 308 when I did. I honestly don't know. I'm doing half assed 'instinctive' training a la Anderson - work up to whatever feels right and do a bunch of sets of triples. Squats twice a week, front squats + lunges on the day in the middle. Pressing 4x...

Having done the program pretty much as written for 2 months, I will make a case for the defence here. Yes, agreed that a minimalist program like this has its limitations - this is accepted when you start one be it with the bells, your bodyweight or barbells. But for times when you have no specific e...

Yeah but most people who would buy this don't have that as a main issue. Their main issue is being such a novelty-craving ADD retard that they try and do literally everything at once. If you need evidence of this, peruse the strongfirst forums. A typical thread will involve someone asking how they c...

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-jacobsonfried/crossfit_b_4600030.html What a fucking bell-end. The car comparison is especially weak. For starters we tend to drive places because we have to. Secondly, safety is integral to driving. At no point when I learned to drive did my instructor say he accep...

They're never going to get it. Read Couch Winchester's quote here: "We will not stop snatching. We will not stop CrossFitting. We will not stop doing what we do. It makes us better human beings. Nothing in life comes without risk. For every action there is a consequence. We might die in a Cros...

yeah the wife watched that too. I tend to surf IGX and other such stuff when she watches TV so can't comment. The roles are normally then reversed at 11.00 pm when family guy comes on.

I think our (British) TV is at a bit of a low at the moment. From your recommendations you seem to have the same TV tastes as my mrs though, so look into Silent Witness, Sherlock and Ripper Street. The latter is utterly fucking stupid imo, but compellingly dark in some episodes. I think it has tried...

That was good.


AussieLuke; I know your posts from occasionally viewing Dan John's Q&A forum. I concur about you offering fuck all in return.

Just kidding, welcome etc. Don't mention the fucking ashes.

I have the audio book. For the price, it doesn't even warrant a review; if you have any interest at all then buy the fucking thing. But here is a review anyway: Pro's: -minimalist programming is what most trainees need imo. -exercise selection is about as good as it gets with the KB as your only imp...

When the day comes that any of you anti-establishment types finally have to rebel for real instead of just sharing 2nd Amendment memes on Facebook do you think your armed band would be on par with the old ANC for the deeds you'd commit in the name of your people, or would your resistance be more Gh...

Good God Almighty. They are even trying to PC the Gurkhas. ](*,) No, don't worry. The way it works is that they do some high profile internal investigations to present the idea that the British army is every bit as polite, tolerant and middle class as the chattering classes back home. It's just man...

Why the fuck has the UK let these people live there? Same with fucking France? Is it the dole? The politicians think immigrants will let them keep their jobs? Not sure what the dole comment meant, but def not to the last point; the Tories are losing votes hand over fist for not getting a grip on im...

Disgusting, but no need to panic. Islamism is a small and pretty flacid movement. The threat they pose is grossly over-estimated. They can commit one off crimes with huge shock value like this, but beyond that they are irrelavent. Sad for the victims family though, of course.

Your Pops was a teacher. You were born into socialism and growing up only saw your world in that perspective. lol, that's very funny fella... What's even funnier is that you want your government to be like Sweden, a constitutional monarchy with a prime minister who has absolute power to run the ent...

brainwashed? Explain who is brainwashing me??

Yes, I am a fire-fighter so public sector for now. I am hoping we get privatised along Danish/Swedish lines in the next decade, I see this as a positive step. Any other insights?

140 injured, 3 dead; is that the final toll?? (BBC) Hope none of you are directly affected by this.

Why are we labelling him a porn addict like it's a bad thing?? He provides a fine service to us all, lets not make him feel bad about this.

Counter terrorism expert on NBC said he's sure it's a terrorist attack. Others on the newscast are saying it's premature to try and put blame on any person or group. Not sure how anyone could think it was anything other than a bombing. There are secondary devices reported aren't there?? That surely...
