  1. MVdP goes down pushing to close the gap. It’s going to be an interesting day.
  2. I actually enjoy this Zwift thing, >2hour rides a couple of times a week and I enjoy it; is there something (else) wrong with me?
  3. Good to know thanks, saw those at the local Tesco. We tried a Denny’s (not to be confused with the SA company) burger last night aaaaand it was not nice; although their sausages weren’t bad.
  4. I have no idea and I didn’t look into it any further as I don’t gopro but it’s just amazing.
  5. He’s a madman [emoji1] I hope he doesn’t push it (get pushed) too far one day.
  6. For those who like the GoPro systems here’s a nice new toy: https://youtu.be/OXrkgOBhGM8
  7. Interesting, how are you going to do it, literally 1 per hour or do 6 and take a rest etc?
  8. It’s why I went console years ago. The developers have to make the game work on the hardware rather than making what they want and then me having to keep upgrading hardware. I was just always having to upgrade. There is less choice of games though, but I can live with that.
  9. Quorn mince and spaghetti for dinner tonight. It’s edible, but it’s not something I’ll rush for. What’s for dinner tonight Wayne?
  10. Ah yes, that can be a challenge, any lifestyle change can be challenging when there’s different views or needs going on. Yeah I don’t see eggs, milk and cheese disappearing for us anytime soon either.
  11. Thanks, looks good and added to my list of ideas
  12. Outstanding [emoji1319] Go for it [emoji1303] But if I’m going to lie to you anyway then you may as well post the pic and recipe at the same time [emoji1]
  13. If you’re saying that you spend 67% less then I need some of that action! Thanks, any recipes would be welcome, what’s a convenient way to get some from you?
  14. Noted thanks, will be trying to get some recipes together in the next week and then go from there. Why not just drop more meat then or are you struggling to balance your nutrition?
  15. It’s that expensive part that could scupper the whole thing for us, but I’m hoping not. Picked up some vegan mince, sausages and burgers today, let’s see how they go. There are one or two companies passed in Ireland that are producing vegan products so hopefully that will help with the expense part [emoji1695]
  16. It worked perfectly thanks gents.
  17. Thanks, we’re eyeing beans as a mince substitute so will definitely try that and those curries maybe to replace the stew. Honestly it’s just that over time we’ve seen the odd thing about the plant based diet (GCN, Netflix etc) and the health and performance benefits that people have experienced and we’d like to experience those benefits too.
  18. Ah good thinking thanks, it’s an Apple TV so I’ll see if that works. [emoji1303]
  19. Perhaps you can help me with something I’m looking for, I’m looking for a way to broadcast the sound from my Harmon Kardon AVR to Bluetooth headphones, for when watching TV might bother someone else. HK used to make a product, but I believe they no longer do, and I believe that many others are just unable to sync the sound with the image on screen so the lips don’t match the heard word for example. Any ideas?
  20. Thanks Wayne, I’ll definitely look into those, the Mrs quite likes to cook “pretentious” meals [emoji1] and we’re not afraid of recipe books as I think we could probably fudge out meals on our own but we’d prefer ones that are better rounded in terms of nutrition and flavours. FYI it looks like they’ve changed their name and can be found here now: https://www.badmanners.com/
  21. Thanks, we’re keen to go straight for at least one day of no meat right off the bat though, we’re not overly fussed about having to have meat. I don’t think fish will fit in here though. [emoji1]
  22. 2 maybe 3 meals a week. Mince once in either wraps, spaghetti or similar. Beef once a week in stew or fajitas. Burgers, chorizo or pepperoni on pizza once a week. In summer one of those is replaced with a braai if we’re lucky.
  23. Okay, so here’s a post I never thought I’d make, but we seem to be going to give a bit more plant based and less meat based a try. At first we’ll try like one meal a week or something until we can figure out a few things that we like, what works for us and how to make stuff and if that works out we’ll shift up a gear or two and who knows where we’ll end up. Not sure yet if vegetarian (cheese and milk feature heavily in our house) or full vegan efforts will be the way but time will tell. My concerns at the moment are that it may end up being more expensive (and that would be a deal breaker) and that I may not find enough meals that I’ll be prepared to eat as a very difficult eater. So, a few questions, is there a recipe type book you can recommend, is the plant based cyclist book any good, what should we look to avoid (coconut milk) and what are good meals to start with? Any other advice for noobs will be appreciated as I make my way through the thread.
  24. That is savage. It must be hell; so close.
