    Srs. I'm doing it with another friend of mine already.

    I open the public weight-loss competition to anyone interested.



    Well 26. 27 in December (hence turning 27 this year). I've been on the forums since FM '05.

    It's definitely not young young, and more in the young professional category.
    I get why you're doing it, but I don't have much cash to throw around and my recent form diet-wise has been dreadful. I'm calorie counting now, though, so there's no lying to myself when bingeing. Plus its the final sprint to summer. 1kg-2kg a week from here and by the first festival at the end of May all should be well.

    I get what you mean about not feeling young. I'm 28 and really don't feel young. The 40+yos at work get upset when I say that I'm old and they're definitely old, but women tend to come in with the mindset that old = bad. I'd much rather spend time with them than an 18yo, though. Saying that, I have more energy now than I've ever had in adult life, so I don't feel like getting older is crippling me. Maybe I'll feel worse about ageing when I'm past 30 and slowing down.

    Mert being a full grown man is a dark reminder how long I’ve spent here and how old I am 😬

    Good to have you back even if we rarely agree on things.

    Welcome back, Mert.

    I was in DC a few weeks ago but forgot you were there. Next time I'm back let's play HORSE.

    I enjoyed the name joke Shindig made. I think Mort is the winner here.

    Genuinely very impressive, but it does look closer than the 3 point arc to me. But what the fuck do I know?

    I too could hit 10 for 10 from the 3 point line if my 3 point line started at the free throw line.

    Proof or it didnt happen and Mert is proven to be far superior.

    I haven't picked up a basketball in a decade but I'm pretty sure I could hit that many free throws. Someone send me a ball.

    Here is a video I made before hitting 10 of me going 5 for 5 that shows greater perspective of where I'm shooting from. It's consistently beyond the college 3-point arc (and not a free-throw).



    PS Bartholomort is also acceptable. Pls tho name change.

    On the bright side, I just found your twitter (amongst other things) and was disappointed to learn that you hadn't used it since 2015 but absolutely delighted to learn that yes - you guessed - it still has more followers than phonics.

    Now here's a question for those who have shot some b-ball hoops in their time. Wannabe Magic Jordans, if you will. Can you score an own basket?

    You can but it doesn't appear on your stats. The basket is given to the player on the opposite team who was closest to you at the time.

    Shooting 10 free throws in a row is still generally impressive though let's be fair.

    Not when it's clearly a phone set to record and you just shoot until you get 10 in a row.

    Ten free throws is impressive. Not sure why phonics is being such a pansy with this.

    Basketball was the only organised sport I was good enough at to get into the team (in the UK, lol at trying to compete against a bunch of 6'5 african dudes in Geneva) so I'm just getting high on my own farts with this argument.

    I saw it happen once, in PE at school. A lad (Swanny) received the ball, completely panicked and just chucked it. In it went. The whole class went nuts. Was from about half way too.

    Me and my mate still bring it up all the time.
    I'm a twit

    To be fair though at least he does the whole bit where he clearly hits "record" on his phone and then shoots.

    I'm sure that shit must be exhausting.
    @Mert do u have one of those new fancy iPhones with the app that can record your shots or whatever it was supposed to do?

    I just used my laptop, angled it to show the basket, clicked record and shot. Started over if I missed before 5 and then 10 in a row. Nothing fancy involving phones.
