I do the 6am gym 3 days a week and around 8-9 weekends. It's actually a nice start to the day once you get into the routine. I find I'm packed to the rafters with cortisol after work and just want to sleep. Gyms are awful at peak times either way
I wouldn't have had load of time this morning, it doesn't actually open till 6.45 so I'm going after instead. The idea of the morning appeals, but only if I have enough time pre work. Will go this evening and dodge the trick or treaters.
Nah, lots of time people talk about stealing it's actually twocing For something to be theft there needs to be an intention to permanently deprive (so you're planning on keeping it or, at least, preventing the original owner from getting it back). People do steal cars certainly but often they just joy-ride them and ditch them in a manner that they can be returned to their owners. Stealing/theft is a more serious crime with longer punishments. Funnily enough pre-internet it was tougher to prove theft as people would often claim they were planning to return the item. Doesn't work so well when the police find the item listed for sale on ebay though
When I was nicked for it as a teenager they didn't mention the owners part. Wonder if I could sue them for wrongful arrest @brb
Compensation is the way to go mate, we hand out billions these days to anyone who wants to participate in screwing the state for free money.
Yeah morning all the way. Everyone is both miserable and short on time. Go in the evening and it’s far more ****s looking at themselves in the mirror, staring at their phones, groups of kids standing around the bench press while one of them tries to hit a 50kg PB, girls setting up cameras for their attempt at Insta fame etc.
Going this evening has certainly served its swerve the trick or treaters purpose. Mrs Chief has ****ed off out, so I lit the pumpkin when I got home and have only had one group round. Missed most of them. Add driving round to other people's 'hoods, parking up, and dragging your kids round the streets scrounging sweets to the list of things that people think are great but are actually ****e.
I was never allowed to go as a child, partly as being my birthday we were doing other things, but also because as far as my mother was concerned it was simply begging. I went for the first time 2-3 years ago when my kids were 5-10 range. It's not exactly fun, managed to fit it into a 15 minute slot tonight and will aim to knock it on the head entirely in another couple of years. Kids over the age of about 12-13 should be told to **** off to be honest, tell them straight up they aren't cute enough for this sort of ****e to work any more so go back to watching some screen at home instead please.
It was a hollowed out turnip when I was a kid, non of this pumpkin bollocks. And that was it. There was no Trick or Treat. There was this Canadian kid moved onto the street behind us, and he was the first person who ever mentioned Trick or Treat. "Trick or Treat, money or eats" he reckoned they said. Still never did it. We weren't even ten, Halloween pretty much ended when you left primary school. Now you get adults dressing up and having silly parties weeks before the actual date. ****s.
I think trick and treat proper took off in the UK after the American company bought out ASDA however many decades ago that was now. In doing so Walmart then flooded ASDA stores with all the outfits and other cheap crap associated with it. I think it's ok for the little ones as they enjoy the dressing up and doing it all properly, and they know to only knock on doors where it's obvious the homes that are participating, which is an improvement on decades gone by and teenage twats who acted like the five year olds that now do it. I made the mistake of going into the supermarket during the week, with the kids off and loads of people walking out with pumpkins. It's actually more fun to take the kids to the farm to collect them, probably get ripped off just the same mind.
