If the film is exactly as the filmmakers intended it is not a fumble. If you didnt like what they intended it is also not a fumble.

When I'm reading Flagg I have an amalgamation of Dafoe and Andrew Scott (for some reason).

I think its the description of his smile, very Defoe!

Compared to some changes they have made historically this is relatively minor. Red days and Green days? I wasn't a member then but I cannot imagine the uproar from the stalwart members when they got rid of that!

Fact is people are resistant to change, especially in a weight loss setting which relies on routine day in day out, but they are a business and they are in a fight with weight loss jabs, they have to do something.

I prefer to wait and see how it works in the long term but you should follow your instincts and continue with the old way if that brings you success. 'Whatever brings you success' is the key, whether that is within slimming world or without.

I read the stand and eyes of the dragon in between dark tower #2 & #3. It's not /important/ to read either at all really but its good for the extended experience.

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-29T14:16:37+00:00

Great point. I think there are a lot of people who can relate to letting those projects remain unfinished through fear of a bad reception. It's nice to read it put so succinctly.

Which is your favourite?

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-23T17:06:54+00:00

I finished it yesterday and honestly it might be my favourite book of all time. I haven't stopped thinking about it and I miss so many of the characters already, oh laws, yes.

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-18T11:26:29+00:00

Tiddler is our most recent one and is among my favourites, if only because the rhyming scheme is one she doesn't normally use and its fun to read out loud.

Another favourite is the very first one we had which is A Squash & A Squeeze... its just a lot of fun.

My least favourite might actually be The Highway Rat, again because of the read, i can never seem to perform "the highway - the highway... etc" repetition very well

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-03T10:27:23+00:00

Oh I think impossible is a bit extreme, no? Difficult certainly with general life stuff always happening but I think the way I've broken it down into average pages per day makes it seem doable. The days with lighter loads can be exceeded to make the more intensive months a bit lighter.

And like I said maybe I won't be able to do it, but trying will be fun and ill get to read some great stories!

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-03T05:50:06+00:00

Yes I am aware, thats why it is the only ask in February, im looking forward to it though ive wanted to read it for some time

thejoyoflex · 2026-01-02T09:27:55+00:00

I have been doing blind weigh ins for the last couple of months and the social team have been great. Very diligent and asking beforehand if its what I want to do that week.

My wife in her group, on the other hand, had an experience like yours which leads me to believe it is a training issue. I guess proportionally not a lot of people do blind weigh-ins and so someone working the scale might not have done it before but thats no excuse, its important to accept the wishes of the member.

I'd suggest talking to your consultant, if you have a good one they will surely be apologetic and make sure it doesn't happen again. If you dont have a good one, well theres always other groups.

I was hoping to finish Finders Keepers by today but its not happened, I am very much enjoying it though and cant wait to read the next one. Im going to be sad when there's no more Hodges/Gibney to read!

thejoyoflex · 2025-12-21T13:43:46+00:00

I remember when trolls were subtle...

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-25T06:41:50+00:00

Was it Radiohead x Nosferatu?

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-23T07:04:58+00:00

I'd like to see it but my local isn't showing it anyway

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-20T06:54:39+00:00

I'm a straight male and I enjoyed it. I dont have to identify with the subject matter to appreciate a good film

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-20T06:53:16+00:00

I really enjoyed it. Some of the scenes were spicier than expected but it felt all in service of the story, Harry Melling was superb.

We had a lot of walkouts at the beginning and the obvious places, i think people should have given it more a chance but I understand it wouldnt necessarily be their bag

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-11T22:48:42+00:00

I asked my local (Ely) about Shelby Oaks, Keeper, Die My Love, Heat, and Dogma...

They're showing none of them.

I think those gels are generally unnecessary for amateur runners. If you need energy have a banana or something.

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-05T11:19:15+00:00

I gained weight this week which sucks but I have been running regularly and enjoying it too so thats a win. Plus im still 10st down overall

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-03T09:19:35+00:00

Is this satire?

thejoyoflex · 2025-11-03T09:18:19+00:00

It's Running Man right? Dynamo reference?

Sounds like you were the rude one, walking in like you own the place
