Dry January
- Edited
bosstrabs Last day of work before a long Chinese New Year break for me, we got properly spasticated on red wine, so much so that a mate of mine has now earned himself the nickname ‘Taliban’ (verb: got talibanned), that is to say he was seen falling out of an open toilet cubicle tripping over the pants around his knees and faceplanting.
*The reference is that it, during the Afghan conflict, it was common to see pictures of dead Taliban soldiers with their pants around their ankles, as their enemies took a certain liberty with them before execution.
Roughly translated this means they had 3 glasses of wine each like absolute benders.
(and had the self imposed precautionary two pints of water between each glass)
Sean I’m working with a girl from Dublin and she’s shocked we don’t have butter on our roast potatoes here in the UK.
I thought of you as she was saying it.
Don’t forget the spring onions!
It’s probably been posted already, but…
Onto the final week lads
I’ve been doing the wim hof cold shower thing lately it def stopped the old cravings. Might try and get to march now, do feel pretty gd.
I was supposed to go running tonight. Plan was to run to my parents place and drop something off and run home (about 6k). Instead I walked there with a can of lager. It’s not helping my half marathon training, but the lager was tasty

There are no rules preventing drinking lager on a marathon are there? If it works, go with it.
Also suggest you have a word with @ScottBailey , he has a lager life hack that is a game changer
303abuser I entered the half marathon in March 2024, did nothing all of 2024 and started 2nd Jan. I did a 10k the other day which was good. Will do a 12k tmrw. The half marathon is on 3rd March, so left myself minimal training for it. My goal is to do it under 2 hours.
It’s a kick start to doing more running this year
I am doing Smallmanuary, which involves the self-discipline of reading Smallman’s posts without fulfilling the urge to get on a train down to London to frenziedly punch him in the neck.
