Question for the UK people: how is the graham norton show seen by you guys? Funny or poo poo?

Enough people think he's hilarious to sustain his lucrative career. Personally I dislike his gimmick but I watch almost no tv of that type.

I dropped about £600 this weekend on car parts, tyres and service bits. That's a lot for me but £140 was a complete set of tyres for the panda and most was brakes for the multipla. Ended up with two new calipers on the back because the piston was seized on one side, handbrake seized on the other but that brings the total service and wear cost over three years to £375 not including tyres. I don't think we're ever getting rid of this car unless the engine blows. Even then I think I'll put the effort in to swap in a replacement because it's a perfect family car.

So I was working on this hideous vehicle on the drive, jacked up, covered in brake dust and grease wearing garage clothes with tools strewn everywhere and a couple pull up in a body-kitted range rover to look at the house next to us. They see me and just reverse straight outta there without stopping, hilarious.

I was dead tired when I got home, so tired that as soon as I walked in the door, I fell into the couch and passed out cold.

... then woke up at 4am. :argh:

Still tired. Just can't get back to sleep. I feel really weird though - I've been spacy as poo poo since about 9pm, still feel that way. Almost like I smoked a bunch of weed, except I didn't smoke any weed. :iiam:

I'd spend the extra 20, that's cheap for the difference in coverage. Full disclosure, I carry 250/500/150 (not sure on that 150).

Do you have assets that anyone you run over could sue you for? How much do the cars cost on the road around you every day? It's incredibly easy to go over $30k just with property damage to any semi-newish car, let alone if there are medical bills involved. God forbid that you are at fault for nailing a new SUV of pretty much any variety, or something like a Tesla Model S, let alone any sort of luxury car or higher end sports car.

There are just way too many expensive vehicles on the road to gamble all your assets on low coverage if you can afford the higher levels.

Agreed. I am dealing with insurance poo poo and I was just looking at my auto policy -- 300/300/100 with a 1M umbrella.

I heard about this study recently on the radio:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/02/health/biggest-loser-weight-loss.html?_r=0

I'm surprised how many people didn't realize this (not calling you out). I know a few people who have dropped 50+ lb and they have to watch their intake very closely and if they stop working out for any reason (sick/injury) they have to drastically reduce calories otherwise the pounds pile back on fast. It really sucks but just further enforces the 'healthy is a lifestyle' thing. Was talking with someone last night that dropped 35-40 pounds in the last year and despite training twice a day four days a week minimum her maintenance calories are super low.

Why did I have to move somewhere with no good kart tracks less than three and a half hours away

Those things are so fun and comparatively so cheap. As Leica mentioned once the kid is old enough if they're interested get them in a kart asap. Friends son races in the kiddie league at 5 I think and absolutely loves it.

Bulking and cutting is a thing if you actually lift heavy when bulking. Then lift heavy when cutting. Otherwise you're just getting fat and pretending.

Also if you don't expect it to be a magic insta-swole technique.

Bulking is something that would likely bankrupt me because I'm not particularly affluent and my metabolism is on the high side of "circus freaky." 6' 7", 200#, and I wanna put on 50# of muscle by my 32nd birthday on October 20th.

I saw this on TV and it looked really cool. You get a motor on wheels and attachments for a whole bunch of things. I don't know how the pricing works out or how long it would hold up but the idea of only having one small engine to maintain and not having to do a bunch of prep work to store it for half a year sounds nice.

The engine is $299 at lowes, the lawnmower attachment is $499 and the snowblower is $399 :lol:

http://www.lowes.com/Search=troy-bilt+flex?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=troy-bilt+flex#!

So $1200 for a lawnmower and snowblower, plus whatever else you want.

I dont think our craftsman lawn mower costs as much as the engine.

I've looked into it. 300 for the base, then 200 and up for each 'attachment'. I want one for the thatcher and aerator, but can't make myself pull the trigger on it.

The perspective I'm looking at is this...

A riding mower is going to cost 1000 bucks. Then you still have to get the aerator and thatcher, which is 200-300 each. So your cost is up to around 1500. You could get the flex plus mower, aerator, and thatcher for a total of about 1000.

Or you can spend a couple hundred on a rake for the thatching and aerator drum and do the same thing; just take longer and take more work. Assuming, of course, you have the push mower with a bagger on it.

I guess it comes down to "how much is your time worth".
