Habakure Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Congratulations Shmook, don't worry about the sleep thing. You get use to it (get sleep when you can). He did say son, so going with that, I'd say a boys name? Of course they may grow up and not be a male (gender) etc, but right now, they're male (If anyone remembers the royal baby thread, you'll know what I'm on about, with the gender part).

FireKnife Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I more put it as humour but then some people do seem to have a fascination with giving their kids a unisex name. As for me if I have a kid it is getting a nice typical British or English language based surname . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonfodder80 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I more put it as humour but then some people do seem to have a fascination with giving their kids a bloody stupid name' Fixed It's one thing that bugs me is people giving their kids stupid (and usually chavvy) names Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks guys! He's called Charlie. My wife spent a few days in intensive care and had to have 2 ops, and life-changing surgery due to losing 6 and a half litres of blood. She then lost another couple 36 hours later. Childbirth can be *fruitcage* dangerous, kids. And she is perfectly healthy. Walked every day, never smoked, not a scrap of fat on her, ate well etc. All that has helped her recovery though. The medical team just cannot believe how quickly she is recovering, considering she went from almost dead, to home and walking in 8 days... Edit, as for chavvy names, the midwives told us a couple. One lad went to give details, and called their daughter letisha. When asked how to spell it, he spelt 'lettuce'. Another had twins. A boy called Andrew, and a girl called Absidy. Spelt ABCD. Another called their daughter La-a. The midwife saw it written and asked how to pronounce it. Ladasha... Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'll be getting my *albatross* in gear to seriously start a replica rental biz for the photoshoots. Since I already explained to people that I will use the money to get more stuff (replicas, holsters, bolt-ons etc.), they're more understanding about the "pay me a quid to walt about with my gun for the photos" issue.

FireKnife Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sounds all good in the end then shmook, congrats all round . I just like when you get a guy with a strong Brummy accent calling his daughter Chardonnay and pronouncing it more like Shar-don-a . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Glad everything is on the mend Shmook. Went out with a girl named Jo once. Yes, that was her first name. I would call her Jay and pretend that I was just saying, the first letter in her name (when in fact, I was saying Jay. Hahaha, evil mind). Cherry bake wells. Eaten four of them in a space of twelve hours. They are bloody fit. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 After replacing the SATA cable, moving the drive one slot down in the chassis and chasing a whole farm of dustbunnies out of the forward air filter, my failing HDD cut the bull *suitcase* and started working correctly again.

amateurstuntman Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Drive overheating eh? Did the S.M.A.R.T. data not flag that up? Or do you not monitor it? There's plenty of light weight monitoring apps that wil keep an eye on system temps for you... Link to post Share on other sites

There's plenty of light weight monitoring apps that wil keep an eye on system temps for you... The latter. It was something I didn't really expect, especially with no external reason like 30 C environment temperature and stuff. Even more odd because the CPU and video card never had any overheating problems, and the drive was a safe distance from both. Although the strangest thing is that I looked at the SMART data when scanning the drive and it wasn't flagged up. So it's most probably a faulty SATA cable, at least partially. I swapped it with a spare I had around, and it stopped acting up. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Finally got my girlfriend to stop being an *albartroth* and go on a diet. Now we are both doing a 4:3 ADF diet, 2000 on and 400 off. This is my first off day, and it's 16 hours long - on 400 calories it's feeling a hell of a lot longer. But I'm sticking with it, I need to do something about my weight and I'm looking to lose 20 kilos in the next year. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm sure you've seen my postings on the subject. It works if you stick with it, I'm down 23 kilos since March. Just for fun I got all my SCUBA weights and put them all on a belt so that they weighed the same as I lost, put it on and I could barely climb the stairs, it was incredible. I can't imagine carrying all that around with me now - it's lunacy. Link to post Share on other sites
Desolation mkII Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm living by myself again now and can honestly say I havn't eaten anything unhealthy for a week now, nor any prospect of doing such. The amount if that my parents bring into their house is astonishing. I went from 15 to 13.2 whilst overseas last year, and have now gone from 13.8 to 16.8 stone in six months living with them. Almost entirely through bone idleness and poor diet, and probably a fair amount of drinking. I am not expecting to get back down to my glory days of competition running at 11.8 stone, but I am hoping to get a nice 13 back. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 I'd love to be back at my halcyon days weight of 95kg, back when I was a competitive skiff rower with both kneecaps un*fruitcage*ed... but that's going to take some doing! Moving to Hong Kong and my subsequent has definitely been my stumbling block. It is a hell of a lot easier to eat healthy in the UK. Unbelievably, I actually lost weight moving to Scotland...

Gunmane Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Best of wishes to your new lad Shmook. Now, raise him like a proper airsofter unlike the rest of us. I suppose getting to go to a field this Saturday is a blessing. Video games can only go so far in relieving "Back to University" tension. Link to post Share on other sites

Probotector Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 A&K SR-25 mags also fit in the Classic Army SR-25 ((I had to remove some material from the custom trigger guard installed on mine). Tight fit at first but they become less so after some mag changes. The magazines also feed fine. I am pleased with the results. Link to post Share on other sites
