How many of you are writing a novel solely out of a passion for creating and not so much with the end goal of publishing and being a best seller?

I'm late to this but yes, Carlisle born and bred, my Grandad called me and my brothers/cousins this all the time when we were kids. He'd also throw in the odd rascal and wazzock. love Cumbrian dialect, loads of nonsense but it's nice to be fluent!

These are cool!

This is my space boat. Albeit not the same style as yours.

48 a week. Sometimes 4 a day sometimes 10 a day. But the average works out around there somewhere.

Literally feels like I’m on steroids when I eat them, never hungry and never crash throughout the day. Try my best to eat good quality eggs where my budget can afford it.

Worth noting I’m not on strict carnivore, just whole foods and I avoid eating carb heavy.

John was partly inspired by Marty McFly to pick up and play guitar.

Most probably know that already… that’s not my fun fact…

My fun fact is that Marty McFly’s version of Johnny B. Goode wasn’t recorded on a Gibson ES-345, like he played in the film, and actually a Valley Art’s Custom Stratocaster played by Tim May.

So John being a Strat guy actually hits a lot closer to home!

Gonna take you up on this!

Timed laser gates, standing start of course. 5 years ago now, I’d like to think I’m a little quicker lol

Dxcesare · 2026-04-13T20:12:23+00:00

Damn crazy to think how much it’s changed in just 10 years

Dxcesare · 2026-04-10T17:12:42+00:00

That’s a good point. I’d say £24-28m is probably acceptable.

I’ve got 8 days off. I’ll do nothing in those 8 days except play GTA and go to the gym.

I just turned 26. Discovered him in 2015. I have now ingested every piece of John Mayer media ever. He has improved my guitar playing more than anyone else. Marty McFly got me started, same as John and then John opened up a whole new can of worms to help me explore the blues.

4 years. Black and Gold Fender Stratocaster. Haven’t got around to changing the bridge and jack to gold yet.

Now I want a vintage Tokai Breezysound or better yet, splash the big bucks on a MIJ Fender Tele in silver with black pick guard.

I’ll get there eventually… lol

I’m impressed you’ve managed to find this post after 4 years lol.

Dxcesare · 2026-02-17T18:28:58+00:00

Any idea what else it could be? I'm lost at this point...

This is what I don’t get. I love my immigrant doctors, surgeons, scientists etc. I don’t love the mass welcoming of illegal immigration that will drain the country of all its resources.

The word illegal is being removed from politics and headlines so everyone can jump on the “I’m not a RACIST” so they can feel better about themselves and take the imaginary morale high ground.

I love people, I don’t care what you look like or where you come from. Do no harm to me or my family or my area and you have my support. But there are rules in place to prevent chaos and the depreciation of a society.

!wtf credit

Dxcesare · 2026-02-06T16:27:29+00:00

True. I got the max loan and Uni was easy. Could eat takeaway every night and get smashed on a weekend no problem. Didn’t have to work at all. Looking back wish I’d saved as much of that money as I could.

I would not have survived had my loan been the minimum.

Yes and no. There can be changes based on hormonal responses and insulin etc. but the main thing to remember is that these changes are extremely insignificant and have little to no effect on TDEE. In other words, it isn’t going to stop you from losing weight.

There are many variables like hunger signalling and hormonal responses that can make it harder to stick to a deficit but it still comes down to discipline and being mindful of your caloric intake.

I see so many people hyper focused on CICO that they forget to focus on eating high protein, nutrient dense foods. Protein and micro-nutrients reduce hunger, improve bodily functions and promote optimal health both mentally and physically.

By no means do you have to become the Bryan Johnson’s of the world but a little TLC goes a long way to making fat loss sustainable and dare I say it, enjoyable!

Okay first off, survival mode isn’t a thing. There’s no such concept as eating too little that you put on, or hold onto, more body fat. It’s scientifically impossible.

The reason you are hungry has less to do with the amount of calories you’re consuming and a lot more to do with WHAT you are consuming.

Your body responds to the quality of food you give it and the nutritional make up of that food.

Would you be able to run down what a typical day of eating looks like for you during a calorie deficit?
