Following on from September 25th’s results, my newest Bodystat readings are in! I’m chuffed with the current numbers as they all generally fall within my recommended range. Although I’m determined to keep it going and improve further, I’m happy to know I’m going in the right direction.

Man Utd 2 - 0 Liverpool

Filed in Sport, October 23, 2006, 10:46 football, man-utd, premiership

Scholes scores in his 500th Utd appearance! U, N, I. T, E, D. United are the team for me!

There hasn’t been much going on and posts on my blog have been scarce as of late. I don’t intend for the blog to become a Man Utd love affair but this is one scoreline I just had to mention! What a great win it was, against our biggest adversaries and we made it look easy.

The match couldn’t have been much more comfortable and it was a joy to watch. Liverpool out of the title race? I think so. Happy days!

Benfica 0 - 1 Man Utd

That's the way, Saha, Saha, we like it! Saha Saha! Revenge, sweet, sweet revenge!

It’s been an up and down start to the season for United. We started off so well and looked to be in great shape but the past two weeks have seen a slight change of fortune. A dissapointing home defeat to Arsenal followed by an unfortunate away draw at Reading.

Gym Results - September 25th 2006

Filed in Fitness, September 25, 2006, 11:42 bodystat, gym

As you may have read earlier, I joined the gym in April this year and in July I updated my blog with news of my steady progress. Although I’ve not mentioned the gym since, I have been working away and I’ve even learnt to swim!

Whilst in the pool one day during a lesson with my wonderful instructor Heidi, we started discussing my workout program in the gym and also my diet. She was able to offer me some good tips and will be revamping my workout program every 6 weeks to keep it fresh and more importantly, challenging.

Not only that but she told me that the gym has the facility to take my body readings and let me know exactly how much fat I have. I booked myself an appointment and now the results are in! Though they’re not ideal but I’m generally happy with them. I had thought they’d be worse so I’m not disappointed by any means. I only wish I’d had these readings done when I first joined the gym, I’m certain the difference from then and now would be gargantuan!

Anyhow, to cut a long story short, I’ve made a spreadsheet with all my bodystat info and will continue to keep this updated each time I have my readings taken. To see how I’m doing, click here to view the spreadsheet.

Why I dislike eBay

Filed in General, September 12, 2006, 14:37 eBay

I always get eBay recommended to me, but I always refrain from using it, I simply don’t like it.

That however isn’t a good enough reason so I thought I’d go that little bit further and try to explain.

I’ve had two experiences with eBay that didn’t turn out so well.
1) I was purchasing an XBOX360 game, the seller had a good rating and requested payment upfront via Paypal.
Unsuspecting, I purchased the game and awaited its arrival. Sadly, it never did.
After a week or so, the seller was no longer a registered eBay user and after reading the help guides I made my claim via Paypal.
Thankfully my claim was approved and I was refunded the entire amount.

That inital experience left a sour taste, what seemed like such a straight forward purchase turned out to be a long winded claim.

With that behind me, I figured although I’d failed at buying I’d have a crack at selling. Here’s where my second bad experience comes in.
