This is something I think about on every playthrough. When Dutch throws Bronte in to the swamp to the alligators John nearly loses his mind and the whole gang seems to be taken back by it….the same gang who have murdered hundreds of people between them and caused chaos in every town they ever walked through.

They massacred Blackwater, shot up Valentine, went to war in Rhodes, burnt Braithwaite Manor to the ground, robbed the trolley station in Saint Denis (killing numerous people in the process), and even tied Kieran to a tree in Horseshoe and mentally tortured him for weeks.

So why did they decide to draw the line here? I understand it was the principle of feeding Bronte’s body to an alligator, but I still don’t think anyone in the gang has the right to take the moral high round on anything lol.

I was never one to nap, could never focus on it. Until I worked a job that had 6am starts. Now it might as well not be an option, as soon as I sit down when I get home I’m done.

But this is even on days when I’m not that tired. Yesterday I only worked 11am-1pm. Got home, had some food, then sat down on the couch and fell victim to another nap. Napped for two bloody hours after hardly doing anything all day 😭 it’s basically a routine at this point.

Hello dudes, I’m not sure if you’ve all encountered this before or not but I’ve noticed a trend this year in clients going away on holiday, and never resuming their sessions after it. This has actually happened to me with 3 different clients this year. If their goal was solely to get in shape for that holiday then that’s a different story, but these were all completely out the blue.

Client 1 is originally from Malaysia but lives here in the U.K. he went home in February for 3 months and told me he’d get in touch when he was home to get back in the gym. He didn’t even tell me he’d cancelled his subscription lol, I found out when my manager told me.

Client 2 - went to Italy with her partner for 2 weeks, came back and finished her remaining 2 sessions for the month and then cancelled.

Client 3 - Went on holiday for 2 weeks with his wife and child, came home and text me a week later saying work is too busy and he can’t continue with me. This one was the most disappointing because he was making insane progress with me.

Anyway, not really sure how I navigate these issues? I know circumstances are different for each client, but this is just a pattern I haven’t been able to ignore. I’m in two minds of whether to talk them back in to the gym, or accept that losing somebody who doesn’t want to train will free up space in my diary for someone who does.

What’s your thoughts? Do you ever notice similar patterns? Worth noting that this isn’t the case with all of my clients, but just something I’ve noticed with a few.

So a bit of backstory, I (M 28) have been single for 2 years now, I’ve dated during this time but most of them were just one & done, I haven’t actually dated anyone seriously since I split with my ex.

Been chatting to a girl for a couple weeks and at some point in the last few days I’ve realised I’m actually starting to like her. The problem is since I’ve realised this I’ve felt physically fucking SICK with worry. I’m reading too deep in to stuff, convincing myself she doesn’t feel the same, and largely creating problems in my head that aren’t there. The bigger problem is when I notice these things creeping in, things usually go tits up.

This doesn’t happen often btw, I’ve dated girls in the past whom I’ve been in to & enjoyed hanging around, but never felt that much towards them.

Does anybody else get this? What do you do to get around it? More importantly how do you manage to not make an arse of it?

I’ve been a PT for 3 years now, and this year I’ve started venturing in to group fitness classes. I’ve done a few circuit classes that I thought were okay, but I want to make them better. I’ve got a regular spot at a gym close to where I live, as well as doing a few classes in the gym I work at.

Just wondering what everyone’s methods are for planning circuit-type classes are? Any examples would be great!

The circuits I use in work are pretty good and everyone involved really enjoys it, but my new gig is at a gym with members mostly around my age (20s) so it’d be great to push them harder!

I’ve been a PT for 3 years now, I’ve never had a solid idea of where I wanted to go with this job but it’s started to make sense lately.

I’ve realised I want to go in to coaching athletes at a competitive level, so need the relevant qualifications behind me. I’ve already coached athletes at a smaller level, but thats not enough to enter the field I want to go in. I’ve enrolled into university this September to study sport & exercise science, and after that I’ll be doing my masters in S&C.

I already work for a large chain gym who have sites that are used by Premier League football teams, so I’m in a good position to make some connections.

Just wondering from any of the qualified S&C coaches in here, what pathways did you take once you passed out of uni/college? I’m U.K. based, if that makes any difference.

Listen I know dating is all preference and there isn’t a right & wrong, but for the sake of this post I just want to know what your hot takes are.

I’ve got a few, but my main one is coffee dates are a terrible first date idea. They sound great, but they feel way too platonic and it’s pretty difficult to feel any kind of intimate connection when you’re sat in a coffee shop in the middle of the day with people working/studying around you.

I think they’re great for later dates when you’ve built that vibe and have a bit of chemistry, but there’s not many places I want to go less on a first date.

My nephew was born on Thursday, I already have a niece who’s 7, who I recently bonded with when I got her into tennis. I’ve always been in her life, never distant, always there, it’s just only recently that we’ve found something we both enjoy together. She’s very much a girly girl, which is obviously something I don’t relate to as a man. Again, it’s not that we’ve never bonded, it’s just that I feel like I haven’t done as much as I could.

The problem is I have absolutely no idea how to interact with kids, and I’ve never been good at it. I don’t have kids of my own, so my niece is the closest I’ve got to that. What can I do to better to be the ‘fun uncle’ if you will?

Just had flashbacks to a date I had last year. Me & this girl had been on 2-3 dates and was chatting one day about our music taste. We found out that we basically had the same music taste & loved the same bands, so we chatted about them for a bit.

She casually mentioned how she went out with one of the band members after a show one time. I kinda had a feeling what was coming next and it didn’t really phase me. What phased me was over the next 10 minutes she reeled off like 6 or 7 bands that she’d had s*x with, and still gets guest list off. Some of the stories included every member of the band too.

I’ve no idea why I felt it, but I was just a little bit like….ew? 😅

Put me off her at the time tbh, couldn’t quite figure out exactly why. But what’s your stories?

Safe to say the last 20 minutes of the match has done my heart rate no favours. I would’ve loved a nice easy finish, but who cares anyway 🥳

Still got a big adrenaline rush. Sod the Azteca, sod your altitude, and sod Rey Mysterio, it’s coming home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What’s everyone’s plans? I think I’ve got the zoomies.

Today I watched almost 3 hours’ worth of documentaries about space & planets, and I feel like my head is about to explode. I’ve somehow learned too much, and nothing at all.

The more I learned, the more it was just beyond my comprehension. I mean, it’s just f*cking massive init? Trillions of planets and here we are.

Why does anything exist, rather than nothing?

How did a pile of atoms ultimately evolve to be sat on the couch at 5pm on a Thursday craving an easter egg in June?

I’m in serious need of talking to someone about space but I live alone. The neighbours might be hearing from me soon.

Anyway, sorry the rambling. I feel like I know less stuff than I did a few hours ago, and I’m seriously considering working late from now on because the amount of free time I have doesn’t seem to be spent on anything beneficial.

What’s your topic?

I was on holiday a few weeks ago and whilst trying to drink my hangover off on the sunbed, I entered a non-verbal half hour. Completely drifted off into my thoughts and didn’t even realise until one of the lads asked what I was thinking about it.

I don’t know where it came from but the only thing I could think of is “what flavour is brown sauce?”. This went on for about 45 minutes. Couldn’t quite get my head around how the other sauces had designated flavour names, but they drew the line at ‘brown’ with this one.

Was it the last sauce they invented that day and they just couldn’t be arsed naming it?

It’s just me and my Labrador in the house for the next week as the family are away. Haven’t bothered to make any Saturday night plans, so I’ve fetched a few beers from the shop, put a bet on & going to kick back and watch the footy tonight.

Hopefully the dog stops trying to rob my crisps and all.

What are you up to?
