The Chess trick was all memory MS. He had 7 chess masters and used his memory to mimic the moves they were doing against eachoher. In effect 3 chess masters were playing 3 chess masters through him. He then he said he played the last chess master himself.and lost.

Have a look at this about hydration.

As for the caffeine thing well I was always led to believe that it was a diuretic and made you lose more water than you were gaining much like alcohol and that drinking caffeine would cause you to become dehydrated but apparently through recent study this is not the case although most articles say to drink it in moderation.

Reminds me of a great one from the Legend Scullion when taking us a few years back. We started taining in November for the following season and he was giving us a few lifestyle tips like drinking "Orange Mi Wadi with a pinch of salt" and then he went on

"I dunno if any of yis are on it or been on it before and if it's been any use til youse but I've heard great things about this Creatine and youse should see Mickey (The Phamacist on the panel) about getting yourselves setup if you want til. Eamon Burns was with the County for a whole he could likely tell you about it!"

Eamon replies "You are on it too Scullion!"

"Was I? Well f**k it didn't do me any harm so go on ahead lads!"

Took a notion of watching some of the million s (AND MILLIONS) of the Rock's youtube videos over Chrstmas. To my mind he was the best I ever seen and his command of crowds and the microphone will probably never been equalled. Having said that it will also be a long time until you get the same kind of mix of personalties that would feed off eachother as well as back in those day.


Foley, Stonecold, Angle, Triple H, The Big Show and the Rock (Not to mention Kane/Undertaker who maybe just weren't as good but better than what I'v seen recently) were all great wrestlers and seem to be better than what the WWE have been churning out this last while. If you get a spare few minutes you should check out the Rock's 'strudel' speech with Lillian! Oh and I was actually at that ;)

GAA Discussion / Re: Are the new rules working?

I think everything is rosy in the garden at the minute but basically our referees had problems implementing existing rules never mind the new ones which to be honest are quite open to interpretation which is not good either because it will leadto inconsistency.

Wait until something meaningful is at stake and there will be uproar I think it's nearly guaranteed.

Downloaded the first 4 episodes last night and watched them straight through! Good one again with the plot twisting and turning like an Olympic diver. Pity I have to wait another 20 weeks to get the full story:(

Ah something I know a bit about. I think if all has healed you will need general knee strengthening. The session I do at the minute incorporates the following:

One legged squats 3 sets of 12 reps at a slightly difficult weight. This mainly for the quads, glutes an hamstring.

Dead lift around 60-70kg 3 sets of 10. Again for the quads, glutes and hamstring.

One legged Calf raises off a step, 3 sets of as many as you can until you fail.

Bridging lying flat on the ground with 2 legs bent on the swiss ball, then lift your ass and push the ball out and back in usually 3 sets of 12 to work the hamstrings.

Pelvic dip. Stand on a step with your affected leg keeping the back straight. Now drop your other leg and pull it back up to cebtre yourself again. 3 sets to fail. This works on your adductors.

I wouldn't do all these sets in a row though as it can be touh at the start I would work through each exercise once and then repeat them all again.

Depending on how far into your rehab you are you might look into mor impact work suh as siamese squats, jumping lunges and some hopping exercises. If you want some of those I can give you a few of those as well.

As BB has said though you will need to see a physio to get a more personalised programme for yourself to get back properly. Knee's are a hoor of a thing and i you're not completely right when yo ucom back you can do serious damage!

Just a quick question about the jacknife crunch. I remember I had problems with my back last year and I aggrivated it doing jacknife crunches. Went to the chiropractor and she said they are unnecessary as they place undue stress on your back and you get just as good results doing a straight situp or a from the leg lift.

They are part of a core strengthening programme I'm doing at the minute and I don't think I'm going to risk them bbut just wondering if anyone more in the know than me had an opinion on them.

I got a 500g media player/hard drive for Christmas and I've just started taking into the movie downloads. Great job hooks up to the tv through the scart cable and it's as handy as anything and very good quality for most things. Seeing as my laptop is something stupid like 40g I find it a massive help.
