Many years ago in Germany still from the "old" forum. SchalkeUK was there, liverbird, Relling, that polish guy Kloppische, Panflute, that unique Canadian we once had (Tonio or something). MUFC was not around back then, thankfully.

You ever watched German hockey? My local team is quite good, and they were a real powerhouse in the 90's. Even Brendan Shanahan played for us when the NHL had a lockout. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Düsseldorfer_EG Fun fact. When I was 2 years old I was in hospital with a broken leg. And during that time said hockey team visited exactly that hospital, and me as well. I still have a hat and some autographs somewhere from that.

Ever since I was a teenager I was a bit on the chubby side. Once in my mid 20's I weight almost 100kg. Then I started working out and lost a lot of weight, but was still a bit chubby-ish as you can see on the pictures of the forum meet-up we have somewhere around here. But when the first lockdown started and I started to gain weight again, I started working out seriously, and without breaking my workout routine. Now for the first time in my life I am quite athletic. Feels good and comes with so many benefits. Better mental health, more confidence etc. I could never do more than 20 push-ups as well. But if you stick with it your body improves and adapts so quickly.

Great. 60-90 minutes cardio three times a week. 200 press-ups every other day. Sometimes some dumbbell training. Feeling good.

Nice to have some certainty for the forseeable future.

Watching the 1984 Nürburgring race. Fuck me, McLaren were so dominant that season even though both of their drivers had quite a few DNFs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Formula_One_World_Championship#World_Constructors'_Championship_standings

Bizarre post.

Ryan Reynolds, Sci-Fi, time travel... I'm in.

Jesus Christ. That load up process is visually and audibly atrocious. I'm glad those days are over.

It's called motor racing.

What an idiot.

Kalsarikännit is a relaxation method from Finland. The word Kalsarikännit literally means "Getting drunk home alone in your underwear". Finns even have an emoji for it.
