WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I wish i was like you, i'm a lazy *******.

I eat a lot and i don't do much exercise (Would walking at a fast pace a school work? :P)

Doesn't matter much when your at school age - the weight is a lot harder to shift when you get older - im 35 and my job involves sitting at a desk for upto 12 hours a day. All I used to do was eat badly like BP. Then when you bump into people you haven't seen for a while and the first thing out of their mouths is wow you've put on some weight it kinda becomes a mission to get back in shape.

Although bear in mind in my mid 20's I was super fit - playing American football every Sunday, training 3 times a week for that as well as doing some form of martial art the other three days. I used to be a machine - hit 28 got too many concussions playing football and messed my back up so spent the next 7 years just doing nothing.

They don't get as cold in Melbourne as they do in Scotland. :P Not to mention it rains way more often in Scotland.

Some days its been pretty damn cold, about 3C in the morning, then again, that's daily weather over in Scotland. :P
 
Re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Yeah was only a flying 2 hour visit though so might have rained when I left - was a nice 14 hour drive though.

Wow, 14 hour drive for two hours??? I'm guessing it was on the way to somewhere else?

Isn't it getting warmer yet? People I know in Brisbane are enjoying 30C at the moment.

Nope was a planned 14 hour drive. Had never driven for that long before and wanted to get a test run in to see how I felt at the end of it as the following weekend I was driving through France overnight to Barcelona which is also 14 hours. The Edinburgh run was just to find out if I would need to stop somewhere to get some rest while going through France.

If I won the lotto...

I'd clear all my debts, get new wardrobe and take care of my folks...

Well to be fair I woke up this morning and had a whole page of posts just from you to read through.

true...but I worked the night shift and only tried to post a few things. Didn't realize that post stuffing was so hard...guess I don't have the energy like BP to do it...
 
Re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Matter of fact I often wonder if it ever stops raining in Scotland. :P

Just bought up a memory of an argument I had with an architect over the size of a lightwell in a hospital I worked on in Aberdeen - he had sacrificed the services riser space in order to make the lightwell bigger - when everything wouldn't fit I pointed out the statistically Aberdeen only gets 30 sunny days out of 365 and that the lightwell could be reduced by one metre and not make any difference.

As usual with architects they are always right - ended up changing the services design at a cost of hundreds of thousands just so he could keep his lightwell.

I have to say the lead architect we have on this project is pretty damn good. However, I am in total agreement with your opinion to most architects. Right pain in the ***.
