So many.... I'll just add a sampling... “May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house.” ― George Carlin "If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth" -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) “I shall pass this way but once. Therefore, any good that I can do…

There will come a time when you will need to choose between what you have been taught is right and what you know in yourself is right. Choose wisely.

I paint but not in the traditional sense - it's more "advanced colouring in" - miniature figures (wargamer and total geek here). My stuff can be found in the following place: http://www.coolminiornot.com/artist/voyager

I have a love-hate relationship with it. I don't like it - it's jiggly, hard on the knees and lower back, makes it hard to breathe and so on. BUT - the fact that, at this stage in my lifestyle change - I can get ~6min of running in 15min on the treadmill (walking the rest) is something I still can't quite believe. Will I…

I like hot & spicy food, but the scale is tricky. - American style hot (which is very peppery to my taste), maybe a 4-5. - Asian style hot (includes Chinese, Indian and the like, more of a burning sensation), I can go to about a 7-8 before it hit my limits. Yes, on a scale of 1 - 16,000,000. I own an extract rated at 1M,…

Vanilla, NElf Druid. Took that character through the expansions, raiding all the way :) Got most of the boss kills. I don't play anymore though.

So far, absolutely nothing. Let's see... 1. It's been the catalyst to a complete (and permanent) lifestyle change 2. It's kept me accountable to both myself and my friends where before I could (and would) have hidden so much 3. It's provided a mobile toolkit when decisions can be tougher, and made me more aware of what…

"no honey, I never get headaches, why do you ask?"

I'm not actually, I was quite serious about that one. Best advice I ever got (soda was my downfall there, but I've since fixed it)

Soda, Coffee, Tea, Fruit Juice and Milk are not water - when someone told you to drink more water, they meant plain H2O.

geek here! :)

I promised myself a tailored suit - charcoal grey (double breasted of course) and a proper silk tie. I'm also going to get on my motorcycle and ride the Nullarbor. 5000km (over 3000 miles) from Melbourne to Perth via the SW corner of WA with a stopover in Adelaide to see Tribal Mike for some ink.

Sorry that you have not met someone like that when you clearly would like to. I will be honest and add that I don't get every door every day or anything like that - but for any event/outing I always try to behave in that manner. I hold the stairwell doors open at the office too. Just the way I was brought up and what I…

See, that's the 95% of guys giving the rest of us a bad reputation! :P

Chivalry is not dead, but it's gotten harder to find ever since a charger stopped being a horse and became a car. :P In all seriousness, I have picked up the tab on every first date I've been on, I still try to open car doors, hold other doors open and always offer an arm when crossing the street. Guess I just like the old…

I have the Antec 900 case here - it's a breeze to work on. Remove the drive bays (they are on quick-mounts anyway) to make access much easier. It's no harder than building Lego these days.

Tall and broad-shouldered. always served me well.

Perth originally, Melbourne currently. Plenty of support here both at home and abroad :)
-
Dried herbs, spices (except salt) and sugar-free cordial (at ~1cal/litre it's just make-work)

6ft4 in the old scale, disposing of 40kg (~90lbs) initially.

I just completed a DFD to help trace an intermittant fault across 3 network boundaries

Reporting in - starting goal to drop 40kg (26 to go), after that we'll see. Perth boy living in Melbourne.

Depends on how long it takes and where my eventual goal ends up being. Might get inked though.

G'day mate! Perth boy living in Melbourne here.

Fat - Weird Al Yankovic. Seriously, no-one wants to see me attempt this. There isn't enough therapy available :) On the flip side, to the lady that said "Black Velvet" - that is an inspired choice!
-
The people here are just plain awesome, they really make a difference to your success. I'd never have gotten through this week - not just in terms of calories but also exercise times - if it wasn't for their inspiration and support.
-
I always ask myself if what I'm considering eating is "wasted" calories - could I get better value from that spend elsewhere. if the answer is "no" then I go ahead and eat it. In this way I'm keeping the stuff I REALLY love in there and leaving the stuff that I might like but could otherwise do better with out. I'm pretty…

Nah, not too bad. Just some muppet in a cage deciding to turn right without warning, made the mistake of both dodging him AND braking. Hit the blacktop about 35-40kph (so 20-25mph) - half the speed of the first time - but I got my foot stuck under the bike. I rode home (also like last time) but I can tell you, slow or not,…

Big fan of the lads here (see my profile, they're listed as inspirations), been following since Namibia. Remember they did the whole thing under full medical supervision, kinda like the Hairiest Loser in some respects. Props to the lads for getting the results they did all the same, here's hoping it means they'll be around…
