My mum's house is 100 yards from Offa's Dyke (on the England side). AceOfFlames posted:Is there any exercise routine that is like the equivalent of what you would give to a person recovering from a decades long coma? Depending how comatose: I endeavour to walk a couple of miles every day (and quite often do 6 miles). Anyway, today I decided to start mixing in a little running - and I mean a little. I used to enjoy running until my knee decided to complain (old injury). I thought today about mixing in a bit of scout's pace: there's a bit of my routine walk that is a 5 min stretch of straight path so I did a 10 paces on/off scout's pace for that. I think I'll do that for a week and see if my knee complains and if it doesn't, I'll add a second 5 min stretch (I have a convenient park nearby with straight sides approx 5 mins each). Etc. It's all bodyweight and no gym. And as long as you have decent trainers on, no need for any special clothes.

jabby posted:https://twitter.com/jessicaelgot/status/1160570412817948673 She doesn’t actually say that she’d be unwilling to support Corbyn in government herself, but the other parties won’t so it can’t happen. Sadly with only one MP the Greens can’t actually make up the difference that Corbyn’s going to fail any vote of confidence by currently. Carline Lucas posted:To begin with that means denying Boris Johnson the reins of power through a no-confidence vote and establishing a national unity government. Political tribalism would likely scupper any moves that are just about putting Jeremy Corbyn in charge. So far the Labour leadership’s reaction has been to suggest they would not work in coalition with other parties, and politicians from some other parties have made clear that they would not serve under his leadership. A government of national unity must do exactly that – unite parties. And I believe that a cross-party cabinet of women has the potential to do exactly that. Not that this cross party government of national unity has any more chance of passing a confidence vote today, lol

Just imagine the look on their faces if JC went "ok fab, go ahead and take Dianne". They'd loving die (the wrong sort of woman you see). I'd think they would backtrack with Thornberry even.

feedmegin posted:The scabs were the ones with the support of the wider Party that time though, and look what happened to National Labour. The bigger point is that in the first election after the split Labour won 52 seats. Down from 287. In 1935 they'd recovered to 154 MPs. Obviously World War 2 got in the way after that but still, that's the sort of collapse it can decade a decade plus to recover from and I dunno about you but I really don't fancy that.

Can anyone help with some landlord specific questions? My landlord just served us a 60 day notice to quit the property, but we only have around 10 days left on the tenancy agreement before it was up for renewal (which he is not doing). Should we be signing a new agreement for the period beyond the end of the tenancy? As it seems to me once the tenancy agreement is ended then we're not tied to the house legally. I don't want to accidentally end up a squatter or anything.

My landlord just served us a 60 day notice to quit the property, but we only have around 10 days left on the tenancy agreement before it was up for renewal (which he is not doing). Most tenancies default to a rolling contract, so you'd have that for 60 days, but if he's already said he's not renewing (with adequate notice) then you should have been looking elsewhere. If you're on good terms with him you could ask him for a month rolling. And work from there. If not kill him for being a scumlord and squat forever.

Typically, a fixed minimum term tenancy switches to monthly if neither party renews/cancels. So long as you're still paying the rent, you should be OK.

My cursory googling suggests you might have a fixed term agreement in which case you'd be rolling over to a periodic tenancy in 10 days time, in which case you're covered: https://www.thetenantsvoice.co.uk/advice_from_us/renewing-a-tenancy-agreement/

Cross...poo poo  I've been looking at buying some weights and a rack etc so I can lift at home (because I know I won't go to the gym) and it's pretty reasonable until you need to buy the plates. Holy gently caress why are they so expensive? It's like 350 quid for a bench and rack and barbell and then 500+ just for the drat plates.

Can't you just steal lead from some stately home's roof and then cast it in a wood mold and then stick sugru around it? Lead weights would be more compact than brass or steel too.

I'm also someone who found going to the gym intimidating until my friends bullied me into joining them. I was totally wrong. It's really true that nobody notices you. Everyone has their headphones on. And the gym I joined is 24 hours so you can go at weird hours when the place is empty, it's great.

I've been hitting the gym for a while, usually Tuesday Wednesday Thursday whilst I'm away on work. Because I'm on expenses and in a hotel in not eating well as I can cook for myself. I'm doing my best with eating, but I don't seem to be losing weight. I just switched up my routine, where before I did cardio followed by weights, I'm now going about 5 weight excercises plus machine assisted pull-ups. I thought something must be happening as I was super regular but I'm the same weight still. Should I stick with this method yet?
