Hated my job for the last two years - they just throw way too much at me and I spend my nights dreaming about orders and dread waking up. Went to hand my notice in today and the gaffer said he really didn't want to lose me and would give me a pretty decent pay rise. 

 

Now I'm undecided - I didn't have any back-up when I went to hand my notice in, I've usually landed in new jobs pretty quickly so I wasn't too worried about being unemployed. So do I risk fucking it off and potentially not finding a job over the Xmas period, or do I take the pay rise and continue to hate day to day life?

 

I think the healthy option is to fuck my job off regardless. But moneys nice.

'Redesign, rebuild, replaced' was tremendous. Cracking backstage segment between Owens and Rollins. 

 

Really liking how Clash of Champions is building up. Jericho/Zayn, Rollins/Owens and Reigns/Rusev should all be class. 

Cheers for that list Kaz, I'm around that area in a few weekends time so will definitely try a few of those boozers out.

 

Fuck using the quality of food to rank a pub though, all you need are a few cobs behind the bar and you're sorted.

I watched that Raw on a shitty pixellated stream and Ziggler looked the absolute spit of Evan Bourne. Well confused me.

Hail Caesar is great fun. It's not one of the all time great Coen films (Fargo, Inside Llewyn Davis, Miller's Crossing) but I preferred it to The Big Lebowski (incredibly overrated).

There were a few posts a while back about good pub lies. I heard a cracker last night. Some old bloke down the local reckons he went to the casting call to play Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 and it came down to him and Dolph Lundgren. That's a great lie. You couldn't make it up (except he did, obviously). 

I watched that animated Transformers film after it ended up in a 'Favourite Films' poll on here. It's shit. Not as shit as the live-action Bay films, but shit nonetheless. 

Currently playing through Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Pikmin 3, Super Smash Bros and Bayonetta 2. All are great. Acing Blacklist levels without being spotted and without touching an enemy is great fun.

Just heard that from 8th July Sky Movies will now be known as Sky Cinema.  People will still call it Sky Movies and then eventually they will probably go back to calling it Sky Movies. Why do companies have to piss about. Rant over.

 

I like it. I have an irrational hatred of the word 'movie' so anything else is an improvement. 

I rewatched them all last year and I'm pretty sure the drug scenes weren't on the Netflix version.

I love the Fast franchise too. One of the best franchises in cinema today, I'd say just behind the MCU and Mission: Impossible. 2 and 3 were both a bit shit but the rest have all been great popcorn movies.

 

EDIT: Oh, and Idris Elba's voice acting in Zootropolis was fine!

Luke Gallows looks pretty horrendous. The ring gear, tattoos & fake tan just isn't working for him.

 

It's the trousers I can't get over. They look like those knock-off Diadora button-up track bottoms that were big in the 90s. 

Not really bothered about Agent Carter being cancelled as season two was really bad, probably the worst thing the MCU has put out so far. Shame about Marvel's Most Wanted though.

Edge not knowing Christian's theme tickled me more than it should have.

Yeah, having two World Titles is stupid. The only time it vaguely made sense was when Punk and Sheamus were in a mini-feud, Punk as WWE champ and Sheamus as WHC, and Punk said to Sheamus something along the lines of 'at the most, being World Champ only makes you the second best in the world'. That's still relegating the status of one championship though which 50% of their roster are supposed to be aiming for. 

 

I don't agree with an official brand split at all to be honest, maybe they can just have an unwritten rule of certain guys can only appear on certain shows to give that show something unique. But if they were to go ahead with another brand split, having one champ across both shows is the way to go.

 

Imagine Reigns pedalling his 'I'm THE guy' line on Raw while Ambrose is World champion on Tuesdays. Stupid.

Great news, I think The Impossible is such an underrated film.

Thanks for that, great help. I have been meaning to go to the docs about the bloating - I've completely got rid of bread and lactose from my diet around a month back but there hasn't been much difference. I'll knock the fizzy drink on the head and give it a week eating healthily and if I'm still having those problems I'll get it checked out.

Figured this was the best place for advice;

 

I'm 25. Been skinny all my life, except for the past few years where I'm skinny all over except for having a massive beer belly. I get bloated easily so after pretty much every meal or beer it starts sticking out and makes me look like the Yellow bastard from Sin City. I'm not really arsed about bulking up or getting a Seth Rollins physique, I just want to drop the podge and genererally get into better shape. Anybody got any advice on the best way to start?

 

I don't get much exercise (around 60-90 mins of 5-a-side a week) and my diet isn't great (I work in a city centre surrounded by chippies and pork-bap shops, and I'm easily tempted) so that's an obvious change I need to make. Regarding exercise, I was planning on just doing cardio at first to drop the beer belly but my mate reckons weight lifting would be better for me as it would strengthen my core. Is he right that I should focus entirely on weights or should I be looking at a combination of weights and cardio?

 

As you can probably tell I'm clueless when it comes to anything that involves breaking a sweat, so any help would be much appreciated.

Those are gorgeous, been wanting a pair of those myself. Just waiting to see if I can get them cheaper through work.

I don't think it's the least interesting ever in NXT. The never-ending Richie Steamboat/Kassius Ohno and Corbin/Dempsey were far worse.

I'll echo the shouts for Mario 3D World and Captain Toad. New Super Luigi U is great too.

Yeah, you can buy Wii U games digitally on the eShop. Be prepared to buy an external harddrive though as the Wii U internal memory is pretty poor.

Watched quite a few crackers over the past few weeks, time for some QUICK REVIEWS;

 

The Hateful Eight - Tremendous. Starts pretty slowly but once it gets going it never lets up. It's been a few years since I saw Django but I probably prefer The Hateful Eight, just about.

 

Creed - Really enjoyed this, Sly is incredible and it does a good job of moving the Rocky franchise into the modern day.

 

Deadpool - Didn't love it as much as everyone else on the planet seemed to, but it was fun and got more laughs out of me than most 'comedies'.

 

The Danish Girl - Decent enough, but it was just your standard predicatable Oscar fare. Kinda fancied Eddie Redmayne as a bird though. Anyone else?

 

Grimsby - Hit and miss gags, but the hits were hilarious. There's a scene in a hotel room bathroom which I'm still laughing at now.

 

Room - Probably the film that's stayed with me the most recently, I can't stop thinking about it. Really powerful stuff. Not ashamed to say I shed a few tears.

 

Spotlight - Great cast, Mark Ruffalo probably steals the film but everyone's on top form in this. There's a few story threads I wish they'd have followed up on more, but overall they do a top job of telling the story.

 

The Big Short - Entertaining enough and did a good job of explaining the financial crisis to idiots like me, but by the end I was losing interest. Brad Pitt seems weirdly miscast. Steve Carrells good in it though.

Yeah I quite like it. Seems like the wrestling equivalent of some silly 90s late-night Channel 4 show.

I'm sure they've done it before when Cena/HBK went 50-odd minutes on Raw and they had to 'postpone' their main event of Orton vs Edge.
