Libya. Country 122/197🇱🇾 A land of ancient Roman ruins, vast desert landscapes yet a place that so few travellers get to experience. The Gaddafi hangover still echoes around the country – Libya is redefining itself after the fall of one of the most controversial leaders of modern times. As always with these chapters of history, you won’t always meet a local with the same opinion. This trip wasn’t just about untouched history and adventure travel; for me, it was also about reconnecting with legends I first met in Baghdad years ago. Another fun and action-packed journey with @onestep4ward Tours and I’m thoroughly looking forward to the next one. 📍 Trip Highlights: 🏛 Leptis Magna – Easily one of the most phenomenal Roman sites I’ve ever seen. This ancient city, once ruled by Emperor Septimius Severus, still feels like walking through a living history book. The amphitheatre, the market square, the towering columns… unreal. How is this place not world-famous?! 🏺 Sabratha – Another Roman gem with stunning sea views. Hard to believe we had this UNESCO site almost to ourselves. 🏰 Tripoli & Old Town – From the Marcus Aurelius Arch the (last remaining building built by him) to the maze-like souks, Tripoli oozes character. It’s a city in rebuilding mode—rough around the edges, but full of life. 🏠 Ghadames & Baadiyat Yafran – Desert vibes, ancient mudbrick houses, and a side of Libya you wouldn’t expect at first glance. 🏜️ Saharan Nightlife – Watching local dances and wandering under the stars of the Sahara, eating freshly baked bread cooked the traditional way in the desert—it doesn’t get more off the beaten track than this. #libya #everycountry #everycountryintheworld

@CoachDanGo As a Brit who moved to Asia and was already enraged at people walking into my house with their shoes on: I’m in heaven! Mind-boggling how more cultures don’t do this.

As an Asian guy I never understood why people walk with their shoes in their home.

@teddyagsmith Thanks mate. Paperback getting formatted now, turns out trying not to die in Somalia is not optimal for starting this biz if anyone asks: us.amazon.com/Conquering-You…

@manvsclock Nice work! Send a link?

If you're writing around a day job, what's your actual writing window? ⏰ 5-7 AM before work 🥪 Lunch breaks 🌙 9 PM-midnight 🎲 Whenever I can grab it ✈️ I've gone full-time And how many words do you average in that window?

@JohnQPublic864 @RealEmirHan Hahaha I also thought about putting her in.

@manvsclock @RealEmirHan Nah, Adrian. 1 - Thinks he'll lose, stays home til she thinks he'll win and rushes to the arena. 2 - tells him don't fight, demoralizes him 3 - same 4 - same & leaves their CHILD home alone w gender confused Robot on Xmas Day 5 - She gave Paulie power of attorney - bankrupted

Name a character who technically isn't a villain but you consider to be one. I'll start:

@PippiTheCat1 @RealEmirHan Absolute bum of a man. Pure parasite.

@manvsclock @RealEmirHan For me it was Paulie.

@RoybeLOLz @RealEmirHan Interesting take. Like he was a good baddie to stoke the flames to get Rocky to grow? Not a bad theory to be fair.

@manvsclock @RealEmirHan Isn't he exactly what Rocky needed though? He excelled by pushing through to prove Micky wrong, I feel like Rocky would've backed away from a softer encouraging approach as he'd take it as pity and patronisation, like he was being treated as a child. Could totally be wrong 🤷🏻

Most people aren’t ugly - they’re just fat

I thought Pike Logan was a badass until I saw this. My father is in town for his 90th birthday and knocked out seven pull-ups—no kip, no help. If you need inspiration, look no further. Happy Birthday, Dad!

God Bless you X fitness bros for the yoghurt, protein powder and frozen blueberries combo, as a sweet tooth healthy meal when dieting. Keeping me sane.🙏

This is Corki. She's 92. She has come to the gym 3 days a week for 5 years now. She drives herself to the gym. Some days she goes heavier, but most of all she just does something. She has kids, grandkids and great grandkids. She gets to interact with them all.

Right up there with: “that geeky kid from the Wonder Years is Marilyn Manson,” and the notion that Prince took out his ribs so he could autofellate, is the myth that refuses to die, that you can “Live Like a King” in Thailand for random made up economics.

@DeanTTraining Been trying this with bands in my home set up but don’t feel it as much as a I should. Bad form maybe, or just a poor replacement for cables?

Seated Low to High Cable flys are INSANELY EFFECTIVE at targeting the Upper Chest They actually might be the SINGLE BEST exercise at doing so outside of a really well-built Incline Machine Press And the best part is: You can do them at basically any gym in the world

Today we celebrate the birth of a Champ Man legend. A goal-poacher supreme plucked from the streets of Portugal. Rumour says he was a data mishap. A figment of the imagination. But mishaps don’t score 50+ goals and win the Champions League. To Madeira. You were real to us.

@onestep4ward I just assumed the stat was based on minutes on field! So the stat is appearances, even if just subbed on for a few minutes to wind down the clock?

Love James Milner, but context matters. He's 15th on minutes played. Behind Stevie G, Lampard etc.

@SamanthaTaghoy Yup. Zero self awareness. Painful to listen to/watch as all she does is scream and name call

“The BBC won’t put me on TV because I’m a left-wing brown woman!” Hi Narinder, As a brown woman who often goes on the BBC, let me clarify: It’s not because you’re left-wing. It’s not because you’re brown. It’s not because you’re a woman. It’s because you’re a screeching fool.

🚨 At 40-years old, Arjen Robben completed a 15km race in just 55 minutes and 1 second. 👏🇳🇱 That's 16km/h pace. Absolutely INSANE. 😳🏃💪

@JamesMelville 🤣🤣🤣

When a court sketch of Prince Harry ended up with John Hartson (as Prince Harry) and Alan Carr (as the judge).

Creatine isn't just for building muscle. It improves: - strength/muscle (duhh) - bone density - cognitive function - Alzheimer's/Parkinson's symptoms - blood sugar levels - fatigue and lethargy Every human being on earth should take 5 grams of creating per day, no exceptions.
