I watch mostly the English Super League, as I became interested in the game whilst in England and watched a St Helens game at their stadium, but I'm gradually starting to watch a bit more of NRL and will definitely want to watch the Grand Final. I downloaded both Preliminary Finals and have been watching them in bits during this week. I guess I try to watch way too many sports - more than would be healthy, probably :D I do enjoy how fast the game is in the NRL and found funny seeing a long lost cousin in the Sydney Rooster team... Aidan Guerra! We share the same last name.

Well, I think Sydney and Gold Coast would be the likely destinations if I ever do go to work in Australia, which is a long shot at the moment but would make the missus much happier than having to endure England's dull weather! haha
YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THE RABBITOHS!

Or I'll hunt you down and put Crows memorabilia in your bedroom.
St. Helen's makes sense if you are a Liverpool fan anyway.

Got to say my first ever contact with the Rabbitohs wasn't very pleasing, as they utterly destroyed the Saints earlier this year in the World Club challenge... :D my sympathies lie with the Penrith Panthers at the moment :$

Yep. Finished winter at 80kg (6'1), switched to high fat, low carb Sep 1st. Stage 2 starts today of switching over to intermittent fasting as well (eat 'breakfast at noon). Should be around 75-76kg by summer. Beach body time - if you ignore half bald and what's left is half gray o_O
Yeah I did Atkins (high fat, ultra low carb) about 8 or 9 years ago. Lost about 10 or 12 kilos in about 8 weeks with stuff all exercise.
Would never do it again though.

I know LCHF and intermittent fasting gets the job done for me. Couldn't do it all year as carbs are ******* tasty, but spring / summer I take the trade off.

A Texas county has sued Volkswagen Group in state court, accusing the German carmaker of violating state environmental laws by installing software on some of its diesel vehicles to circumvent emissions tests.

The lawsuit filed by Harris County, which includes Houston, seeks up to $25,000 per violation per day.

$25,000 per violation per day. The County claims VW sold more than 6000 cars that cheated emissions tests within their borders between 2009 and 2015. There's about 2190 days in 6 years but lets use an arbitrary median of 1000 days to make the maths easier. Works out to a cool $150,000,000,000.

Good luck with that.

Considering that VW would have some of the best lawyers in Europe.

Anyone tried Schulz' "Final Goal" program? Getting a bit bored of my routine, and wondering whether it's worth it.
Yep. Started 3 weeks ago.

It's good. Not easy and you hurt like buggery for the first few weeks but it's a really well designed program.
