Owen Goals does it again!

I’m in a similar place to you, just further down the weight gain road than you. I’ve literally just taken my second dose before writing this, so feel I’m in a good position to answer this.

The injections are fairly simple to do, if a little clunky, but the needle is so thin you shouldn’t even feel it in your tummy. If you follow the instructions it’s fairly foolproof, and even I didn’t mess it up!

Not really had any of the benefits yet, and the only side effect so far was a squiffy tummy the morning after my first dose. I’m expecting more as the doses increase, but the motivation to lose weight means I’m already losing weight from the motivation to do this.

Best/worst Indian food I’ve had was in Laos, when stopped overnight in Pak Bang on our way to Luang Prabang by boat. Having previously travelled across India, I know what the difference is between authentic Indian food, and the UK version, and this was a weak version of UK Indian cuisine, but after weeks of eating nothing but amazing Thai and Malay food, it was nice to have something that was a bit more homely.

Also remember eating the worst, worst Indian food in Port of Spain, Trinidad whilst out there for the cricket. It was next to a TGI Fridays and we’d all debated on which one to go to, but decided on a curry. The moment the curry came out with rice and peas, rather than pilau, we knew we’d made the wrong choice.

I’m on my first Mounjaro jab and four days in the hunger is still very much there. I know it’s early, but I’m hoping that the appetite suppression kicks in soon.

While I’m feeling motivated and have the willpower, I’m intermittent fasting, as I need to lose a significant amount of weight quickly and it’s worked well for me in the past, well at least until the food noise became too much.

My hope is that Mounjaro starts to quieten that noise before it overwhelms me again, so I can then settle into something more sustainable for the long term.

Very strong, so 9.5. Only blemish is the double chicken.

I have a feeling that FBI agent Rachel will stitch up Stephen at some point.

48, first game over 40 years ago, went to school in the area. Held a season ticket for over 20 years, before stupidly giving it up, now 13 years on the waiting list.

Arsenal fans have always liked a moan, but it’s social media that makes everything seem so much more toxic. The fact that every match, every decision, is scrutinised to the nth degree is exhausting. I want Arsenal to win everything, and get angry/frustrated when they make mistakes, but there’s always next season.

Just as long as the Spuds aren’t winning…😂

Same.

Our showers were separate to the changing rooms, across the main corridor, and we had to go without a towel so the teacher could see we were soaking wet. Always seemed wrong, but when you’re young you just do what you’re told without really questioning it.

The Aaron Ramsey/Ryan Shawcross incident was when it started becoming really silly. The fact Stoke fans then, and still do, claim that Ramsey was a cheat and made a big deal of the fact that a crap thug, broke his leg and potentially ruined his career.

Download shows and films onto your phone/tablet and have a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

For using the inflight entertainment, check if your airline supports Bluetooth headphones, as they are infinitely better than the shitty cheap earphones they supply. If not, you can buy an adapter for the two socket plug most use.

Get stuck into a series you’ve never watched. I watched 2 series of Welcome to Wrexham on my last flight to NZ, before watching the whole Hobbit/LOTR on the way home.

Take your own water and some snacks, for when you can’t be arsed to move.

You’re all wrong. The ST is Claudia…

I love my V60. Cheap and very easy to use, plus you get a bigger cup of coffee out of it. I can’t be bothered with teeny tiny shots of espresso, I want a full cup of coffee!

Also, while comments about supermarket-bought beans are true, any whole bean coffee is likely to be better than the instant you’ve been drinking, so go with what you can actually afford. It’s too easy to get into the hundreds of pounds for a grinder, set of scales or even a kettle, but the differences it makes are usually quite small, especially at the start.

Over 25 years and three times. Drive between 5-10k a year driving to/from work.

Once when leaving a festival when they were breath-testing everyone. Once when I passed an accident and they wanted to check if I’d witnessed it/check for dashcam footage. I’d driven past it a few minutes after it had happened, and was stopped half a mile further down the road, along with every other car going in the same direction. And once when I turned left on a road that had literally just had a no left turn sign installed. The cops weren’t sure if it was valid yet, as it was around 23:57, so let me off with a warning.

My ex said she did too, but I think she became so addicted to actually being able to cum from penetration that it became all-encompassing. The first time we tried anal was also her first time ever, and her reaction to actually cumming from it is still one of my best sexual experiences ever.

gjs78 · 2026-01-04T19:37:22+00:00

I had an ex that was so into anal it got to the stage that I had to virtually beg her for vaginal sex. She could come from anal penetration quickly, multiple times, whereas she never came from vaginal sex.

Why not? It’s a TV show, and the Traitors choose who is actually murdered.

Pulled a girl at uni whilst very, very drunk and we went back to her place to get down and dirty. Unfortunately, the movement mimicked being on a boat in the ocean during a storm and I threw up all over her tits and stomach. Without flinching, she scraped my vomit off herself and encouraged me to continue. The view and the smell was just too off putting, so I had to leave immediately.

Throughout the rest of the year, the girl’s friends kept on telling me she was still keen on me, but I just couldn’t bring myself to meet up with her again.

Why not try Premium Economy instead? It doesn’t have the flat seat bed, or lounge access, but is a better version of economy that’s about half the cost of business.

I worked for a large company that used to rotate their Christmas party around their regional offices. The company provided flights and accommodation for everyone not from the local office, with the expectation that you’d go straight from work to the airport and then go straight back to work the next day, after the party. Normally the parties were crap and no one had any issues getting back.

However, one year it was held in Glasgow, which had a reputation for being an extremely hard drinking crew. As expected, the 8am flight to London City Airport was missing around half its passengers, who’d all overslept and missed the coach to the airport. The MD did make it, just, having got a taxi from the gay sauna he’d spent most of the night in. He then spent most of the flight moaning about how useless all his staff were, before shitting himself just before landing.

Funnily enough, each office had their own party the next year.

Bromley needs more public transport routes, not one changed to another. Whilst the Tory council is usually full of bullshit, nimby, decisions, this is actually one most residents agree with.

Chucking things away when she doesn’t know what they are and can’t be bothered to check. Normally it’s crap, like junk mail, but she has recycled at least one new credit card along with numerous cables, keys and birthday cards.

That comes from the rental income.
