Going to Crete for 11 days to Sensatori 6 restaurants, six pools a spa and ta da, drum roll please- fully equipped gym

Well that was fun. If fun is defined as horrible ar$e numbing pain. 59 miles with a half hour stop in Manningtree took four hours twelve. Today is defeintely a recovery day

Doc
I'm only 5'08" and thats whilst wearing heels so I should be that weight!!!!

Body Fat %age is still too high hoping CV on the bike will help. I'm hoping the last 40 miles are downhill into your hometown[-o<

Thanks everyone. I bought the bike from a big cycling company called Evans. They set it up and in six weeks I take it back for a service, they've been very helpful. I cycled in on Friday and then did 5x500m on the erg. I found it quite hard, the tops of my legs were sore. I'll just have to be realis...

I've just got a bike under the ride2work scheme. I'd love to tell you about it but I'm a cycling virgin. However its got Shimano 105s on it. This is allegedly good. I am not in position to comment. Anywho I ride 12 miles to work and funnily enough 12 back, takes about 45 minutes. I want to keep rowi...

I have returned from the Isle of Wight. It was great 8) Great layout and nice atmosphere, the ferry and need to buy a 3 day pass kept the scum away. Mr Webber please check out Semi Precious Weapons, saw them completely by chance. OTT but very enjoyable. Flo, Doves and Vampire Weekend were great Biff...

Bless you Sorry couldn't resist that. Do you need to be completely wasted to enjoy? I was too young to appreciate first time around.

Saw Florence and the Machine last week. One of the best music nights I've had. Her voice was amazing

Mr Webber. As 40 approaches I have dusted off my Inspiral Carpets T shirt and my one and only Duffer of St George 1990 world cup top to ensure one last hurrah! I'm off to the Isle of Wight festival in early June, fairly mixed bag of old and new. Then in August up the road to Chelmsford for V. Now I ...

Yes please but what is it

Cheers Gents.

Looking forward to locking horns next season, although Liverpool have made me an offer:)

Cheers Boriz and Wolfie. Nice antidote from Boriz

Back on line, just in time for the Spuds to claim 3rd from us. They'll be unbearable

Ola long time no post well here's why.

Had a bad day, try week.

Dislocated shoulder.

House burgled (computer stolen etc etc etc)

Car nicked. Florence and the Machine 4 CD box set in glove box after Mrs T lent it to one one of her friends.

I thank you.

Just dislocated my right shoulder playing 5 a side. After doing the left one 3 years ago knowing what came next put the fear back in. Nurses were brilliant. no rowing for a week or two, will I do any damage if i go running. I appreciate that if done properly my legs will do the work but the natural ...

Listened on Spotify, cheers Gregor for the tip! Trippy

I'm off to Florence in May, IoW festival on me lonesome in June and V with Clo August and Muse in September. Then I'm retiring.

Unless The Smiths reform.

Mr Victory, Chelsea and Man Utd are conspiring to let us back in!!!! You've played well this year i don't know if it would be better to dip out of the FA Cup. Your continued attention to that with a squad a little thin on the ground may lead to a horror last month for you. Dr Rowslowpro or something...

Landon Donovan proved why the Yanks shouldn't play sockkker. Way to go dude Still must have cheered Mr Victory up.

I used to watch grid iron when I was a kid. There was a program on C4 on a Sunday. My team was SF 49ers. Montana and Rice nearly as good as Bergkamp and Henry. First game I watched was on World of Sport (I'm showing my age) Cowboys vs Redskins in a superbowl. Cowboys had an old coach who used to wea...

Lucky JR!!!

I'll give you a wave from the front on the Saturday (I'll be drunk you won't miss me )

Well young Alistair I'll see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To all those going either as competitors or spectators, GOOD LUCK!!!!

I won't be attending due to work and lack of decent training. Still I'm sure you'll cope

Look forward to seeing the vids on Youtube and reading the stories

Graham. I'm a bit slow and just seen this post. You're mad. The main issue is dealing with the boredom and sheer psychological burden of sitting on the erg for 8-9 hours. My training was very un scientific. I built up to rowing 5 hours but that still didn't help me with the tedium. I'd never do it a...

Lucky boy Alistair I'm very jealous

Breaking news (so I'm told) tickets for Muse next year go on sale Friday for those interested Wembley and Sheffield in September 2010

Got a late ticket and saw Revd and the Makers. Although very Kasabian like in terms of the front man they were very good.

Now if I can just get a couple of tickets for Muse at the O2 I'd forgo and Xmas pressies this year [-o<

The judicious answer deserves points. If a 16 year old actually wrote that it was pure Genius and he or she may be dumb or very very quick witted.
