in Introduce Yourself
Figured i'd say ello since i've been using the site for a while now.

Irish, programmer working for the man in Belfast. (or swearing at lines of code which ever is more accurate)

Mainly use the site to keep track of food/exercise decent motivator having to fill it in i find!
Currently starting the 16/8 fasting but prob( should possibly be hoping!) don't need to drop much weight, more tone up, 6'1 200lbs at the min.

Fairly active, goto the gym couple times a week. play football in work for a bit of craic, and competitively for a club.


I love the A-Team... i'm not ashamed

    Craic = gossip/news/fun. Used mostly in Ireland but we do use it in England too ("What's t'crack?")

    Good to know - about craic.

    And the A Team.....um, we had that here in the 1970s. I guess it takes a while for stuff to reach Ireland. :laugh:

    The 70s? Are you crazy? A-team ran from 1983-1987.

    OT: Hi, welcome, best of luck.

    No, but thanks for giving us your definition of crazy. It must mean "doesn't Google every old TV show to see when it ran on TV."

    Not really something I car that much about.

    I refuse to watch that new a-team movie, just can't trust it!

    and Aye "craic" is fairly difficult to pin down to one meaning

    What's the craic is effectively "alright, whats going on/happening?"
    "aye it was good craic" yes it was good fun, anyway you get the drift.

    people feel free to add me if you like! be good if there's any football players as well see how my sessions compare to others.
