Hi Carole Sorry to hear about your woes but it is good news that they are able to do the valve replacement quickly. Speaking from recent experience, if a procedure is recommended it is definitely the way forward( I had an ICD implanted after my cardiac arrest and I am probably at my fittest and heal...

Apologies for the late reply Dave - it is Angelo.

Your go

That's the song.

I thought it was Beatles first (and McCartney written) and covered by Marmalade.

Yep - I may have got that the wrong way round

“Long ago high on a mountain in Mexico”

Yes it is Jill - that one didn’t last long

Thanks Paul

Sounds Bon-Jovi-ish or Guns and Roses - not a clue about the song title.

Why creatine? I may be wrong but I don't think that will help combat DOMS - it is only useful for very short, explosive activity - it's usage will make your muscles look bigger but that will mainly be water retention. Paul G I suppose it depends what you read and who you talk to Paul. I have been t...

Back at it again. Went to the gym on Sunday and it was absolutely heaving. But not many using the ergs. 😅. Yesterday was just rowing. 12x300m with 1min rest. 1.54.4 r21 . Today was 12x300m with 1min rest 1.55.5 r21. After high reps on the weights. Today was a new start for my training. Bought some ...

Great time Ian - well done=D>

Thanks Jill Now something with no connection to any grimy northern industrial town :lol: "I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known" Paul G I recognised the lyrics straight away, but it took me a few minutes to place it. It’s Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day. Right y...

Thanks Claudius - the distances I swim would be a bit of a joke to a proper swimmer but because I am so slow i spend a lot of time in the water and get a good workout .

Sorry Plummy - not Simon & Garfunkel - a bit more current, and lively

Thanks Jill

My choice has a Liverpool/Sheffield connection:

' Lend me your ears and I'l sing you a song '

With a little help from my friends - Beatles ?

How about that indeed, Jill

No takers yet?
I'm surprised Wolfie hasn't got it yet
Some more lyrics then:

"All day long, I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify"

A Brum band.

Thanks Dave, it was actually me at BIRC, was going to remove my top, but the glasses were sufficient! You are closer than me. 77.8kg before my CTC, although that is over 1kg in a month, so might make it back to lightweight this season if I keep the rowing up! Will be a bit tougher for me - I will h...

Okey-Dokey - this one doesn't appear in my thread search is is from one of my all-time favourite film soundtracks... "And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow" It's a bit difficult to pull lines that aren't either too big a clue or are too obscure ...
