On my last marathon attempt I rowed whilst watching the whole of the Eurovision song contest. The result was a sore bum and lots of laughter. Matrix Reloaded is particularly good to keep you going. Woj How long was the Eurovision contest? And is it hard to row and laugh at the same time? I can't im...

And then there are days like today when Red Sox rookie Clay Buchholz, making only his 2nd Major League start, throws a no hitter! I already knew the result and saw the highlights before I started rowing, but listened to the archived version of the game on my computer while I did my nightly (early a...

If you want to do a full marathon and like agony and cursing (not due to ergging, but rather due to flaky pitchers, [Tavarez], blown saves [Gagne], and lack of timely hitting), might I suggest listening/watching the Boston Red Sox? The Red Sox, I am convinced, get paid by the number of minutes play...

Sorry Tom - only just seen your question. The 3rd was definitely all action but tied up all the loose ends which adds to the satisfaction. To be honest I didnt rate the first one at all the first time I saw it but after watching it a couple of times on dvd it started to grow on me. Thanks for the r...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses TV or movies to distract them. Dirk Dirk, if you are into any sports at all, they work wonders as well. Long matches that go on and on, with commercial breaks to time against. Movies work well if you've already seen them, trying to attempt a good amount of met...

Hi Tom, I watched Hot Huzz hoping for an OK movie at least with a few chuckles and was very pleasantly surprised with actually how clever the plot was (for a comedy) and it gets funnier as it goes on. Seen it twice now, and it's rare for me to watch a film a second time in a short space of time. It...

There is a video in existence of my colleagues in HotFuzz type shambly action. two baddies robbing a bank, come out of bank, onto two motorbikes with £145000. Cue gunship mounts pavement and in 10 pin bowling parlance gets a strike. Bikes and baddies everywhere and chaos reigns :D Hey, GN, I curren...

I thought it was 7000 kcal for each KG (2.2 lbs) of human fat, and 9000 kcal for 100% fat (but human fat stores are not 100% hence the 7000 kcal) . I'm presuming kcal and Calories are the same thing ? I believe you're right, John, with those numbers. The 6000 was a number I remembered from awhile a...

Good on ya, Carole. This has happened to me so many times, I can barely count. The whole 'calories in, calories out' is a good point and, to some, a mantra . The good long rows will remove a decent amount, but two or three heavy meals will counter that. If around 6000 calories is a literal pound, yo...

We saw this a few days ago it was our choice as the only adult film on at the time in our cinema it was quite good even as someone who never really saw properly the first 2- I fell asleep in No 1 and saw snatches by DVD of No 2 but I picked up what was happening and tho I find Mr Damon rather dull ...

I went to see the 3rd Bourne film last week - excellent and by far the best of the three. The wife went to watch this with a friend and came back with poor reviews. :P This only means that I now *need* to see it. :twisted: I've always thought of the first as action, the second, more cerebral, and t...

You found even more holes in the plot than I did Max - well done. I went to see the Shooter yesterday - an above average piece of entertainment and recommended if you have nothing better to do. Watched 'shooter' on DVD the other day. Very good I thought. Echo's of the (Jason) Bourne films though I ...

Re: Freespirits on their holidays-snaps????
Great idea, and sorry you won't be having a holiday. Our recent one wasn't picture worthy, as it was in Cheney, Washington.Jessica-Red wrote: I would start but I havent had a holiday this year yet and probably wont be having one !
Have a few from California in March, though, if that's allowed.

1,609.344 meters Dirk I usually round that out to 1610 for my records, but the 1609 is done as an exact 1609 on the erg. There's no reason C2 can't add in a few decimal places for those who want to be dead-on accurate. Does anyone want to tell the rowers, after Evesham, that they didn't really comp...
