BOF Posted June 7, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2018 13 hours ago, StefanAVFC said: I'm cycling everyday, playing football 4 times a week. Feeling really good in terms of fitness (not even blowing after 2 hours of running full pelt at footie) but when I get on my bike, my legs and arms are like 'no no no'. Feel like I've lost a yard of pace I had only last week at football. Even when I've just woken up and get on my bike to cycle to work, my legs already feel like I've ridden 50 miles. All the exercise you're doing is on your legs (heart aside). Cycling every day and football 4 times a week is effectively 11 leg workouts a week (and football probably counts double). Maybe your legs just need a break. You'd never work a body part that hard if you were in a gym. You'd space it out. Alternate. I assume the football has team commitments so you can't just stop doing it. Maybe don't cycle every day? Muscles need recovery time as much as they need working. Sounds like you've just burnt yours out for a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm putting my body through this much exercise and not refuelling, then it'll have an impact. I didn't cycle today and I'll chill out until Sunday when I next have a game and see how it goes.

Rugeley Villa Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I've got relatives in a small town in Southern Ireland. I got a fair bit of abuse when I went there to visit, and they heard me talking. It was mainly in the pubs. Singing pro IRA songs was the norm at the end of the night in the pubs. There was some girls party over there which we got invited to, or should I say the whole town got invited. More abuse followed. I ended up requesting "God Save The Queen" to the dj that did not go down well, and I refused to stand for the national anthem which seemed to be the norm at the end of the night at parties. That caused an argument with my cousins fella who's part paddy. I did meet a villa fan over there who was sound, and there were many nice people, but I did receive a fair bit of abuse for being English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your opinion on having another vote on the best sitcom of the 21st century, in say 2 years time? What if people watch a few more episodes and decide they have changed their mind? Should they be given that opportunity? Or is Mrs Brown's Boys the best sitcom of the 21st century forever now?

chrisp65 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 On the speaking in tongues. I think we’ve probably all got variations on the same theme which only proves that there are pricks evenly distributed right across the world. I’ve experienced it in Malta and Germany. In both cases, other native speakers have then argued with the pillock about being a pillock. Which is my good news take away from the experience.

I don't it at all. I have watched little snippets and don't find it remotely funny. I come away feeling like I'm missing out on some in joke as its incredibly popular.

Some people think the opposite to Northern Ireland is Southern Ireland. TBH as far as ignorance of the island in general goes, it's probably the mildest form out there. Unless it's being used maliciously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
