Excellent, where abouts did you stay? how was your trip?

It was a wonderful trip..... 5 days at the Caribbean Beach Resort. It is taking me several days to recover... we drove 14 hours down and 14 back. Good thing we had our portable DVD player for the car!

Have you been ill? Your face looks really gaunt compared to a year ago. I hope everything is ok.

Sorry for not replying sooner - yeah, no health problems now :) Basically in the first picture I was only a few lbs away from being classed as morbedly (sp?) Obese. In the second picture, I'm 60+ lbs lighter, and no longer at risk of having to have quadrouple heart by-pass surgey before hitting 40 (All joking aside, if I'd carried on living the way I did back then, I did run the risk of that happening - no exercise and junk food do not make for a good cardiovascular system)

I think it was just the way the webcam caught the pic + the haircut that day, the style of which made me look a lil thinner around the face than usual - here's one I took about a week ago, for a spoof-project type thing I was working on, and although I'm the same weight as in the other pic, I do look a lot better :)

Hey Hiro, I think you can afford to gain some weight :). I would do some exercises that focus on building up the arms. I think the loose sleeves there accentuate your slim~skinniness.

And to tell the truth, I think you look skinny. Maybe it's because I live in the USA, or Texas... maybe other members can agree/disagree.

The arm thing I'm the first to admit - hell my neighbours kid has got bigger arms than me, It's weird though, 'cause I've always had skinny arms. Back when I was a teenager I used to run 100m, 200m & Cross-Country, and the school P.E. teacher was forever trying to bulk my upper-body up, but it just never happened. It's weird, 'cause although my mom & Dad are on the thin-side, my dad, back when he was in his 20s, used todo Body Building, and got pretty big, so I guess I can't argue genetics :)

The USA Comment is interesting though, 'cause I've noticed recently on a lot of clothes there are two different size listings - A European size, and an American size. Seriously, what I'm wearning in that pic is classed as:

Shorts - European Size: S | American Size: XS

Tee-Shirt - European Size: XS | American Size: XXS (or 2XS)

But yeah, I wouldn't mind bigger arms, I might look into the P90X Programme that everyone seems to be raving about, see if that'll have any affect.

I saw a picture of your hair before it was 'corrected' :D I have to admit... it looks better now ;) haha!

In all seriousness, though, your hair does look nice blonde! Nice work from Jason! :)

lol Jason helped with the stuff that ended up wrong. I paid a professional a LOT (turns out they charge per hour on things like this) to get it looking this way. In the last 24 hours my hair has been bleached three times, colored, then colored again. :p My scalp hurts a tish now!

So worth it though!!!

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.

      Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By grunger106 · Posted

      Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
