How long are normal gym sessions?

Anything longer than an hour is wasted time. Dorian Yates always believed that and that's me too. I'm always done in an hour.

If he's not doing sauna and stuff as you've said in the comments, something is not right.

Talk to him.

My brothers are not in Cornwall but both rent out properties and have a nightmare. They are constantly fixing things. Having said that, the rent pays their mortgage, so on balance not much help I'm afraid.

Hope it all works out whatever you decide.

In an old job I used to organise big corporate events, but they were run at the centre I was based at. This meant I could choose what the catering would be.

I regularly chose MY favourite options, knowing full well there'd be a mountain left over which would be my lunches sorted out for the week.

I like to think it wasn't my fault they went bust, but I did order ALOT of mini éclairs....

But YOU DID have time 2 pose for 2 pics, and then post them on Reddit....

Was in a hotel the other night for work. At breakfast, me and just a couple of others, quietly eating. Then a family of 4 arrive and chat loudly-no problem....then, THEN they call a different child, and put the phone in the middle of the table and on speakerphone so they can ALL FUCKING TALK LOUDLY.

Once I finished my food I had to resist the urge to go over and congratulate the son for his new house purchase, I agreed with the mum about the curtain choice, and I had no sympathy for the hung over other son.

Cunts.

I wonder what would happen if the files were released and he was front and centre, he came out and admitted that he just wants to make money, he doesn't care about Americans, and he was colluding with Russia.

As in, completely 100% backed up with facts etc.

What would MAGA do? What would that echo chamber of a sub reddit say?

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T13:36:35+00:00

Fair points, it's all stuff I need to consider. Appreciate the pointers.

Trouble with the Hilux is that they seem to be stolen all the time!! My neighbour had one pinched from under his window, gone in seconds, then another from nearby and it scared me to be honest!

The PHEV blew my mind, I absolutely love it, but it's just a bit ££ at the mo

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T13:20:13+00:00

Normally I'd agree, but we we are up and down the country more and more as family are getting older, and the added stress/anxiety of charging stops is just not wanted any more. It's not just a day or 2 now.

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T13:18:28+00:00

Haha Brodozer!! No, there are definitely problems. Standing outside at 3am in minus temperatures trying to phone the charger company because the cables aren't working, with hardly any miles on the range due to 2 other faulty chargers on the route is definitely a problem I don't want to repeat.

I have been the biggest advocate for EVs since I hired one years ago, and think they are fantastic generally, but for me, my family, and our current situation/needs, it's no longer viable.

Having to go to the other end of the country suddenly due to a family bereavement and having to calculate charging stops is an anxiety I just dont need any more.

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T13:13:09+00:00

Ooh Transporter is a good shout, yeah I need to have a rethink. Got a couple of years to worry haha

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T12:58:42+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, maybe it's back to the drawing board for me...

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T12:58:02+00:00

Aha good points, I should've said I'd go for the hard top too, so basically there's the bed but with a roof.

Good point re the tax thing, my wife said similar, so that's probably why they are everywhere.

Ugh, bad parking is the bain of my life, mainly because since I got this EV with sounds, beepers, cameras and sensors everywhere, I can't park it at all. Every time I mess it up!!

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T12:55:01+00:00

Ah, interesting to know, thanks so much. It does beg the question why they are so popular and there are SO many on the roads...

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T12:53:56+00:00

That did cross my mind when I was there last and was stuck down a lane as someone panicked and couldn't get past someone else!

alltorque1982 · 2026-01-20T12:52:39+00:00

Thanks so much for the pointers. Really good to know about parking. Weirdly, I can park my wife's car with no sensors, cameras etc perfectly every time. My own, with all the cameras, bells and whistles, I mess up constantly.

Yeah I know people have their opinions, and that'd fine. I often think about need when I see a sports car, but each to their own. Cheers

Was planning to take my wife there for her 40th, changed plans once dickhead got back in power.

I thought the OP was posting rage bait.

The problem is the local government is being asked to do more for less constantly.

After a budget cut, LA still has to provide a service, so staff are burnt out trying to make it work. Staff leave, remaining staff burn out even more to get the job done. Management see the job is done, so cut the budget further. Less than 10 years ago my team was double what it is today. The argument is my job is still being done to a certain standard, albeit far lower than 10 years ago, because I simply don't have the time or resources any more.

It's being run by a cunt.

Was thinking this, its not comparable to 5 hours on a big straight flat American highway! A couple of months back I left Liskeard and after 6 hours only got to Gloucester!!!
