I'm guessing torrents if they do torrents of UK shows? Or do they have a website that you can watch episodes on?

 

[bignateyk]

When does it air?

You'd better record it and upload it for all us who probably won't be able to see it here in the US

My deadlift isn't very good . I'll 'Jerk' them over my head

I'll have someone record it and torrent it up.

Filming starts 19th April till the 5th of May. Training starts 7th-17th April. I get 3 days off and a weekend depending on which group I will be put in.

Cheers lads! I'm very excited about competiting!

Asian would possibly indicate I was from the India (gorgeous girls!)/ Pakistan (great food!) but I am from Cambodia.

It comes from the Chinese symbol for 'light' or 'morning light'. The pin ying is how it is suppose to be spelt I guess. But I my name was spelt this way when my family came in to the country in 85 as refugees.
