MFW has always been full of trolls and there have been ebbs and surges

Hello Keith - good to see you here now and then

Well, I missed it. But it was good to get away for a while. I was taking
two classes during intersession which made for a very heavy schedule. So
I was able to focus on academics for a time, which was good.

Having said that from my standpoint the current trolling is really
low-grade. No imagination - very juvenile sex orientation barbs.

boring

Is there anything more useless than a boring troll?

I've recently begun looking in again. I found the political content
just too tiring some time ago, got busy, and didn't miss it too much.
But, I'm seeing some good posts here again, and trying to pitch in.
All the fun's not gone.

That's good but you don't want to let your training slide.

It can't be accurately described as "trolling" Keith, it's more than
Tourette's Syndrome.

Are you keeping up with the rugby. The British Lions play the All
Blacks in the first test tomorrow. It promises to be a cracker.

Have a great weekend - you know I will!! ;o)

<raises eybrows>
I don't think so...

When I ask for real advice, I always get it just fine!
If people would just ignore all the troll threads like I do (at least
most of the time), they would get bored and stop it.

I do consider this a troll thread and probably should have ignored it,
but nobody's perfect. <G>

BTW, what makes incline benches work so much better than flat benches
for chest? I quit doing flats and started doing inclines after reading
here, and I'm making faster progress.

My pecs also get much more sore. ;-)

Cheers!

Hello Keith - good to see you here now and then

Well, I missed it. But it was good to get away for a while. I was taking
two classes during intersession which made for a very heavy schedule. So
I was able to focus on academics for a time, which was good.

It can't be accurately described as "trolling" Keith, it's more than
Tourette's Syndrome.

Are you keeping up with the rugby. The British Lions play the All
Blacks in the first test tomorrow. It promises to be a cracker.

We've been fortunate to see most of the Lions' matches, although well
after the actual game. Canada got handed our asses by the depleted Welsh
side, although the English narrowly eked out a victory over us with
their depleted side. And we beat the Americans. So we've been getting
those games as well, although there wasn't anything enjoyable about the
Welsh/Canada game except the reminders we beat the Welsh at Cardiff a
few years back.

The Welsh look amazingly strong and deep.

The Lions have looked good. It will be interesting to see the first test.

On the local side, I've been playing regularly and except for my left
shoulder not functioning too well, none the worse for the wear. I'm
really trying to get out of the first division games, but unfortunately
we often don't have a better front row player. Very sad, really. The
guys commented when they started talking me into playing that I was in
better shape than 1/2 the team. I noted "not after a game". The aches
just don't go away at 47 years of age.

And the attempts at "trolling" are pathetic. You would think that a

silly old fart like Bill DAVIDSON, after all the years he has been at
it, could come up with something more adult than "flooding" the group
with 750 kb plus of endless repetition of his name!! <sigh>>

It's great to know I'm still driving him nuttier than he already was. I
bet he does the whole team of Liars tonight.

MFW's demise started long before you showed up. You are just an
inconsequential annoyance.
