cheers zulu, are you a motivational speaker?

my 1st year results suggest im doing better than ok, its a graduate medicine course so we condense 1st and 2nd year of a 5 year course into 1 year. Start clinical phase in March and when we graduate, well it gets pretty hardcore

EDIT:

Don’t lay in even when tired, getup with very little variance.

yeah been trying that today and yesterday, i think you’re right seemed to work yest. fingers crossed for tonight

Get a manual job and stop mincing around at school. That’ll sort the sleep problem out.

i do have a manual job, just 2 days ago I had my fingers up an arse*

yeah crikey i thought thats what you were suggesting (and cheers for the sweeping generalisation) but tbh I it’s the mental toll that keeps me awake, Im in my 2nd year and I’m doing work 6 or 7 days a week. It only gets more intense then we graduate and it gets more intense. I’ll do exercise twice in a day and still not sleep because the brain keeps ticking over, in fact when I’ve done manual labour work in the past it didn’t help because my head was empty from a day of monotonous work.

cheers guys i shall start implementing routines and see how i go

don’t worry samuri my step dad had migraines i wouldn’t wish them on anyone, im not a insomniac and I don;t have the flu (thats my personal peeve)

*prosthetic (this time…)

awwwwww draw ok yeah. I used that back in the day but not now wouldn’t go down too well tbh

i believe crikey may be hinting that im a layabout stoodent, the truth is far more worrying

yeah its getting off to sleep, once im out im generally not too bad

cut out the booze.

spoilsport 🙁

draw? as in pencils and paper? never tried that. in fact haven’t properly drawn in years, 2 birds 1 stone…

trying the wine technique tonight…

ill confess not really understanding crikey (and still affected me when i was working annoyingly)

don’t drink that much caffeine, although i guess could cut down on my tea intake

don’t worry about it & the sleep will come

yeah i think you’re right becomes a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy but as you say hard to actually do

yeah gf watched that but i missed it

im not an imsomniac really, just struggle to get consistent good sleeps

i thought he was outed by the beeb?

cartridge i think, not the smoothest bearings ive ever felt so might be that

cheers for that

should have said, not after a big thread about whether it needs to be faced ta

got a cheap wheel and also a 16t white ind freewheel if you’re interested?

cross check or wait for the kite

don’t they just pad them out with drugs?

it’d be grifos – i remember seeing your wheel at SSEC, was that a reflex?

ive got a spare park tools one (thought id lost one) email me if want it

ok now im properly tempted 🙂

anyone using a reflec tub rim offroad? set of hubs im interested in are attached to reflex rims and initially I said i just wanted the hubs but now im kind of tempted to try them (guy has grifo tyres too)

and they wonder why everyone hits up credit cards

i do owe my gf a big stack of cash maybe ill just give it to her

I’m not sure im ready for this level of commitment

oh and if i am to use tubs ill need some guidance on how to get the buggers on and off

found this

i don’t have a mortgage 😀

it’s not enough to put down a deposit though and tbh we’re prob not going to live where we are at the moment

im with them, immune system depleted virus gains an advantage-schools and unis not that long back so proper mixing pot of illnesses in most communities another reason possibly

that means 3 tub tyres, even more money!

but that makes sense i guess although it should be pointed out i won’t really be ‘racing’

starting to lean towards tubs if can find some cheap road tyres…

it’s good fun? and while you pretend it’s cheaper than a geared bike you spunk the same amount of cash but on flashier bits -everyone’s a winner 😀

with postage the groove armada is 12.50 but had a look at them

yeah i havent had a geared bike in years so don’t have any cogs that small 🙁 i did think about chucking on one of the cheapo thin cogs for a similar effect, hmmmm

yeah i meant to get familiar with the bike rather than actual fitness

cool looks like i’ll be pissing £15 against a wall to inflict some serious pain on myself 🙂

don’t forget to put stuff up here[/url]

yeah fs would have been a cheap set up

no worries ourman

just sold it and cross check heading my way 😀

ourman-selling my freewheel and wheel on classifieds

*cough* one for sale in the classifieds….

didn’t bonty do 130 disc hubs for the poprad?

Really? I see loads of roadies riding fixed in the winter.

ok fair point but there doesn’t seem to be the same fervour outside workhorse kit like mtb

not worried at all what others do simply whether there are any hurdles or issues people have encountered

tools and gods are words I often associate with roadies

Yeah but maybe it’s more to with being able to accommodate lots of flats and lots of climbs? 52 and 39 can cope with quite a range of terrain and roadies don’t seem that keen on ss either

someone will be along shortly to tell us it’s so they can blast themselves regardless of what’s in front of them like the divine immortals they are

weird fedex is wayy cheaper than others but mainly because they use actual weight rather than volume, there must be a catch somewhere never seen international delivery not use volume?

hey hey emailed you re. singlecross

it’ll be fine 😀
