You are really quite harsh on yourself! To win you'll have to be the
number
one, but you can still be good even if you're not number one. Plus there
are
always the error terms / whatever you maths teacher call them (y minus y
hat).



You mean I might get lucky.

Thanks Carol for the compliment. My first language is Cantonese / Chinese
(spoken / written). I have lived and am still living in UK for more than a
decade thus my writing is OK. But in daily interactions people can see /
hear
that I'm foreign in origin (my accent slips out occassionally) and that
muddle
things up a bit for some people because they don't know whether I'm talking
funny or I'm actually being funny with a very straight face.

smile I wondered if you might be Chinese. My first job was as a hostess
in a Cantonese restaurant. Mr. Ma was one of the cooks and Mrs. Ma spent
all day chopping celery for chow mein and chop suey.

A good friend of mine is Chinese, but born in Malaysia. Her accent is a
product of Ohio. G

Thank you for sharing.

Accent is a strange thing. I had Americans who told me that I have a Northern
England / Scottish accent and then Scottish / North West England people told me
that I have a New York accent. What is happening here?????? :-0

Great job that Damsel knows my surname is Chinese, often when I am on the phone
I have to tell people that my surname is "Ma, M-A, just M-A." because otherwise
they'd spell my name as Marr.

I think I should just marry someone and change my name. That would solve all
the problems! :-)

When you can do that you can lift all the overweight women who fancy
you!!!!


I can already do more than 500, but I hope there's nobody heavier than that
who fancies me.

Impressive dead. Not to be insulting, but you don't look like you have
enough mass to lift 500+ in the pictures I saw, but then again I've
seen small dudes that can lift tons. Big muscles are not always strong
muscles. Do you lift raw or use straps and belts?

Raw. I have used a belt from time to time when my back was a bit tight.

Also, I got to where I could lift over 500 when I weighed close to 240.
Since I've been cutting, mostly I've just been maintaining my strength. I
guess there's a lesson to be learned in there somewhere.
