[tomtuck01]

United buying players like sofas from DFS, buy now pay later Surely they could just pay £4m?

Why pay immediately if you don't have to?

[tomtuck01]

So, anyone but me getting eager for news about Football Manager 2013?

And no, this not a GD type thing where the user will generally post smething like this;

When is there going to be news about FM13 damn it!!!!!!

[Nottingham Forest]

I'm not overly fussed at the moment which is a good thing I guess. Finally found a save that I'm enjoying.

[SRL88]

I havent really given to much thought about it to be honest. Will be nice to read what the changes are etc.

Yet you've come up with a name for your FM13 Journeyman carrer!!

[SRL88]

No, I have my name for my FM13 career .

It isnt something which I sat down to think about. It was just something which popped up whilst watching a movie and thought that it would be a good idea for a name.

[tomtuck01]

Sure it is.

[SRL88]

I have just applied for a job as a Lecturer at Northumbria University. Now, I wouldnt normally have done so, but I hit all the criteria, and it says that you can be working towards a QTS. Now the pay, well, I wouldnt mind that at all .

[Nottingham Forest]

Now, being bored. I decided to look at that website and is that right? That amount? I wish I could earn that amount haha.

[Purefun]

What is decent though? You Always want more...

You could if you had gone to university and worked for it. But I won't start that debate again.

[Nottingham Forest]

I didn't want to go to uni Joe. I never really did. I didn't really want to go to college either. But I did.

[SRL88]

Yeah, please dont open that debate up again!!!

[Cleon]

Good morning all, lovely here atm altho rain later today is forecast.

[SRL88]

Yet I am alkl of 30 minutes away from you and its meant to be sunny all day here .

[SRL88]

NFL is back this week-end

[Cleon]

BBC show it now on Mondays.

[SRL88]

I am a massive fan of it. I will be up late this week-end watching.

[SRL88]

FM13 announcement has been made.

[joe__the__man]

Aye watched the 'press conference', all looks pretty standard as I doubt I'll bother with the challenge mode, but the thing that has me worried was when he said that games will be highlight only, or something like that.

When talking about FMC yes. But not the normal version that you play now.

[joe__the__man]

Ah thanks, that's a relief. Maybe I should pay more attention.

You can read a quick overview here http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/314457-*Official*-Football-Manager-2013-Announced!

[tomtuck01]

I see GD is on it's usual spazz out that the announcement of the new game brings.

[SRL88]

With the usual negative comments being thrown around despite no one actually having a clue about the game really.

[Nottingham Forest]

Lost a stone and 2 lbs in just over 3 weeks. I haven't been to the gym in 2 and a bit weeks .

If you ever stop what you're doing though to lose the weight you'll end up putting it on even faster and be twice the size. SO be careful. Oh and grtaz

I hate announcement days nearly as much as patch days:(

[SRL88]

If you avoid GD though then you dont hear the moaning from people. I try my best not to post in there, I must say.

[Nottingham Forest]

So you're saying that if I go back to eating sweet foods and drinking lots of pop and not eating proper meals then I'll pile it back on? I don't think I will and I'll get back into the swing of going to the gym next week. I don't really feel any different but I'm sleeping better and becoming less tired in the day. Other people have commented on how I look like I've lost a bit of weight.

I know I have as I can now get back into my 40 inch waist work trousers and I still have a bit of room in them .

Oh and FM13 . Have to say some nice features seem to have been announced as well.

Kinda can't avoid the FM sections when your a mod

[SRL88]

Cleon is right NF. You will put weight on at a more rapid rate if you stop what you have been doing. Thats not to say that you cant eat sweets or drink pop, but just dont stop eating the stuff which you have to lose the weight you have so far.

Your body as undergone a big change in the last 5 weeks or so. But if you've stopped going to the gym then even thought you've cut down you might find yourself putting the weight back on once your body realises and the fat isn't been burned as fast as it was in previous weeks. It's kinda catch 22 atm for you.

[Nottingham Forest]

Yeah, will do. It's eating the bad things in moderation. I never used to do that. I used to be the sort of person who'd have a cuppa and open a pack of biscuits and eat 3. Leave them and eat more because they were there. I've completely stopped that and although I'm eating the odd ice cream here and there. I'm not eating crap. I'm not snacking anymore or eating 2 greasy sausage cobs for breakfast at work. Instead, I'll probably have either some fruit or a cereal bar in the morning with a cuppa or a water and then water on my breakfast with either a slice or two of toast or a bowl of cereal.

It has been interesting today at work though. We've had fire alarm go off. Which an announcement was put out for people to evacuate the building to which it took a few minutes to sink in for the customers and then we've had a fire start in one of our freezers.

Oh . I don't want that to happen. I'm going to start going gym properly again next week. I may even go tomorrow if my dad goes in the evening. Next week I'll probably go on Monday morning, Wednesday afternoon and then Thursday, Friday morning.

[tomtuck01]

40 inch waist? ****ing hell!

[tomtuck01]

Also, can't say I like the screenshots of FM13.

Used to be a 42.

I like them.

[Gizmo7]

Congratz NF, keep it up

Glad your not coming in here moaning about wanting to lose weight and doing nothing about it anymore

[Nottingham Forest]

Still a long way from being fit enough to not get out of breath running after a short while or before I lose my belly. But little steps.

[SRL88]

Also, can't say I like the screenshots of FM13.

Something we will get used to very quickly.

Edit: I have to say, I really like the look of the stats overview for a player where it has the average minutes per goal etc.

[Cleon]

Remember that some of the screens are specific to FMC so wont look like that for thenormal mode I presume.

Or hope, rather?

[gechal]

I didn't think I was going to get sucked into buying this years version.

Then they confirm the match engine has been overhauled. Drat! I may have to get it then. Or wait until people feed back what it's like, in case it's broke or something.

Go NF go! We got a new gym opening up in town, 11 pound a month, open 24 hours. Sign me up baby!

[Nottingham Forest]

The gym I go to would never open 24 hours due to it being right next to a school. There are 3 gyms that I know of where I live. One which is just the abbreviated place of where I live and gym after it. It appears that a fair few chavs may go there. The other one is at the leisure centre and then the one at the school.

[Ty]

42" waist I am 28! I was 30, but toning up over the summer made my chinos no longer fit me and now sit around my arse ha!

10 hours straight driving today pretty much, my eyes are killing me. Leeds and back was a hefty journey!

[Ty]

Go NF go! We got a new gym opening up in town, 11 pound a month, open 24 hours. Sign me up baby!

Yeah we have a Pure Gym opened up last week in Northampton. 24 hours, £10.99 a month. I'll be joining when I move into my house there next week.

Presume yours is a Pure Gym as well?

[SRL88]

My gym cosists of a pair of running shoes and a bike. Dont know why people pay for the use of a treadmill or an exercise bike to be fair. I suppose I understand going for weights though.

[Nottingham Forest]

I'd use my brothers bike but it's broke. I don't know how to fix it as I'm useless. If/when I get fit enough to run without being out of breathe easily. I'll go running. Love going out in the cold at night. So if I can get a move on, I could be ready for November time when I finish work but can't be bothered to go to the gym.

[Ty]

Yeah, use a real bike and enjoy scenery or go for a run
