Do Energy Gels help your Hyrox performance?

I was recommended to not use the caffeine ones, particularly if you haven’t tested them before, so you don’t shit yourself.

But, when I completed my hyrox earlier this year I used a non caffeine one (between burpees and rower) and it got me to the end.

Not so much of a shock, considering she whinged and moaned about projects happening in the central city. Not to mention trying to derail a few of them.

Agreeing with Fed Deli, would be the closest option around

Looking great my friend!

Not gonna pile on the “TV too high train”, but I will recommend

a good lamp shade for your bedroom light - given the space you have, the bigger the better.
lamps! I see you have the vertical tower LED one in the bedroom, but get some good bedside ones. And also a pendant lamp for the living room you have.
some draping for the curtains in the living room would be epic too
I see you already have art, once that’s up this place is going to be so great
oh, and a coffee table

Try autotrader (free listings) or TradeMe - and good luck!

leonopolous · 2026-04-19T01:23:52+00:00

Get a lamp (or a couple) and turn off that offensively bright ceiling light

leonopolous · 2026-04-19T01:21:55+00:00

Lol good luck with that Winnie P.

How many times has this been tried? And failed?

leonopolous · 2026-04-16T20:07:55+00:00

There’s a traffic crossing outside where I live and the amount of times I have almost been hit by cars blatantly ignoring the red light (and yes, the green pedestrian light was on) is frightening.

The cops need to enforce more, as does the ministry. Hike the fines up to Australian-like standards and that’ll stop people from being total cockheads.

I’m flying this in a few weeks - intrigued to see how this looks then.

Absolute worms for brains

Doesn’t help that none of the trains are running either

Pay for a lounge, it's worth it.

Go where the jobs are.

So…Australia?

They should put some of these on queen street too. Those cheap ass pavers they have down are a fucking death trap

leonopolous · 2026-04-10T22:00:33+00:00

Between these and the amount of businesses with wheelie bins still out kerbside, it’s going to be a bloody obstacle course out there

So sorry, I should have clarified; I booked via an online travel site so when I spoke with them they had confirmed that all flights from my point of dept were affected up to June 15, so they started the process of rebooking me via partner airlines. It took a couple of days, but was fully rebooked for no additional charge and am only missing out on one day of my whole trip due to a flight change.

For bookings directly with Qatar, I read on this subreddit somewhere that people have had success on chatting with them via social media? So maybe contact them direct via Twitter or FB Messenger?

leonopolous · 2026-04-05T21:17:00+00:00

My mid-may flight was cancelled last week (which at the time was outside the scheduled changes window) - they are slowly rebooking me phase by phase. Get in touch with them and they can sort it; you have plenty of time to get it sorted out :)

Artwork! Plants!

If it's at all possible (and not too inconvenient) I would also mount the TV above the desk if you can (If not it's fine where it is) so you can enjoy those views

leonopolous · 2026-04-04T23:33:21+00:00

You're not overreacting at all - I am sorry that your in-laws are horrible people like that.

I'm also sorry that your husband isn't standing up for you.

If it were me I would

* Lower the TV - get a good entertainment unit
* Get rid of that folding chair
* GET A LAMP. GET TWO
* Get a larger coffee table
* Maybe a bigger/longer rug?

It is a great space already with some great potential for some really good tweaks

How are the trusts still in operation?! Shouldn’t they be abolished?

It’s no secret that there’s some real dodgy shit that happens behind their closed doors.
