D is for DESTRUCTION! >:-D
Today is the day that our old premises begin to be destroyed. Already
the doors and some of the windows are missing. Apparently today the roof
comes off.
KILL! KILL! KILL!

Meh. They're recycling all the materials, so it's not like they just
smash it to pieces.

I have no idea what that words means - but from experience, swinging a 4
lb lump hummar is... completely ineffective, actually.

When they knocked down this old garage opposite us they took the wooden/felt
roofing off by hand, then drove a digger into the brick walls repeatedly.
It looked quite fun.

Yeah - but probably harder than it looks. ;-)

My dad's sofa.
(Yes, he did ask me to do this. Said it would fit in the car easier in
pieces. After about an hour, having inflicted approximately 2% damage, I
got bored. And exhausted...)

See, we had to demolish a fireplace enclosure, and we used a good-sized
sledge and a normal claw hammer. But the materials used were chipboard
and fake stone, so it went pretty quick with those. I could hit our sofa
in particular places and not cause any damage, even with the sledge
(which I think weighs about 20 lbs).

I think I found *all* of those places... because nowhere did the hammer
do any more damage than merely ripping the fabric a bit.
I guess sofas are designed to not break too easily. ;-)
Heh - and all the times my dad told me not to jump on the sofa because
I'd break it... Mind you, I weigh a little more than 20 lbs. :-P

Yeh, sometimes it's easy to forget how much you weigh. I had to carry an
80kg table up stairs the other week - it took 3 people and it was quite
awkward. Then I realised that that's how much I weigh, and I have no
problems carrying myself for 30 km up and down hills!

What a coincidence - I weigh 80 Kg as well!
Anybody else here weigh 80 Kg??
PS. I especially like my mum's weighing scales. When you put your weight
onto them, it wedges the dial in place so it can't rotate. So if you
rock from side to side, you can make it read anything you want. Makes it
hard to get the "real" answer though...

Depends on where you hit them and how the frame is constructed (and of
what). The back of our sofa actually needs to be fixed, as the main
support across the top of the back is apparently broken.

You should've tried axe instead - and think where you'll hit before
hitting...

Pansy. I weigh 250 (about 115kg).
Though I'm trying to lose some of that.

don't know.

I've been trying off and on for a couple of years - I was around 235 when
I started going to the gym, but I haven't been in a couple of months due
to various family health issues.
My "ideal" weight would be around 195-200.

...well, the roof is still on. But some of the doors and windows are
missing now.
