Which of these would you choose? I would really love to visit Portugal! I can't speak the language so well and I only know words such as "Ola, Tudo Bem, Oi, Sim, Contigo, Obrigado and Futebol". So I know I need to learn a few more basics! Do most people speak English there or would they prefer you to try Portuguese? Also, do they have good restaurants (cuisine), Nightlife and Shopping? I know sports are not a problem to find there as Portuguese are very interested in sports and crazy a bit Futebol right? :) Obrigado for your help! Thanks

When I send messages on Kik '...' appeared next to the message. I waited like half an hour and it was still the same! I re-setted Kik and when I came back on there was a red exclamation mark next to the messages. I clicked on it and sent the message again but the three dotted lines (...) came up again :/ My internet connection is good so I don't know why this is happening! Should I delete Kik off my phone and re-install it or something? Thanks :)

Hi guys!

Ok, so I'm 19 years old and I have started doing weights and my own workouts now for about 5 months. I have seen tiny results but I seem to be struggling with overall mass especially on the arms. My body type is an Ectomorph. Quite a long neck, long arms, long legs etc. However, I do have a bit of muscle to me but really want to improve overall mass. I train for Football (Soccer) and Tennis! So my legs are in good condition and strong but I want to add mass to my arms, chest, shoulders, back etc. I'm not at the gym but I do my workouts from home but I have bought myself a good pair of dumbbells that work me hard and found some decent routines online. Ok so my routine :

Monday : (Workout lasts 45 minutes)

*40 Squats - 1 Set

*20 Lunges (With weight) - 1 Set

*40 Sit ups - 1 Set

*Bicycle kicks (Until burning on abs) - 1 Set

Thanks for reading Please feel free to be critical and any advice would be greatly appreciated!! I'm going to posts my diet in the Nutrition section too. Thanks everyone and good luck with your programme Any help would be appreciated. Would it be better to do a workout based on compound movements instead? Also I have put on a little bit of muscle but it's so hard to tell because I'm tall and long! (My diet is good, I eat a lot of proteins like chicken, beef and fish, nuts and eggs and drink milk. Also carbs such as potatoes, rice and pasta. Also sometimes the odd bit of chocolate and crisps as calories is important for a slim guy I think!)

Cheers,

Pepe

Hi everyone,

So, I have a HP notebook with Windows 8. I've had it about a year now. Last week I dropped it by a complete accident. It worked fine the last 5 days but today when I switch it on the first thing that comes up is "Preparing Automatic Repair". After this the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. I left it on for about 3 hours and it as still the same. Anybody know what I can do to fix this!? Please help :) Thank you!

On TV I saw that Bernard Tomic was getting booed when he retired from his match against Nadal? Is he not popular over there? I saw him at Wimbledon last year and he looks a really good young player! I know there were some young players called Kyrgios and Kokkinakis who played very well in the Ozz open last week! But why do people not seem so keen on Tomic? Thanks for your help :)

On the PS4 do you have to pay to play online? I would not be getting Playstation Plus but say if you went on to FIFA 14 and wanted to play a online game against someone or one of your friends would it cost? :O Thanks!

Ok, so I've started working out about 4 months a go now. I do it 3-4 times a week mainly all with dumbells and body weight exercises. I've seen some not to bad results but only little. I'm a tall and slim sort of guy not skinny but athletic! But yeah like I can eat a lot and not put on loads of weight. I'm looking to take my body to the next level! I know when working out you have to be patient about a year right? I have a good diet, I try to have lots of vegetables and fruits and keep carbs and protein as high as I can :) Would a protein shake really help my progress to? Does it actually help to make you bigger if you put the work in? Also, are they safe? Is it just like the same as eating a big chicken breast when you take it or something like that? I know those cyclone ones put water on your muscle or something so I'm not keen to use that just something safe and useful! Could you eat a protein bar instead of having a shake? Thanks for your help :)

G'day all! Happy new year too :)

Ok, I'm from England but what is a Gelato? I know it's kind of like Ice Cream but what's the difference?

What foods do you eat in Australia like day to day common foods you eat for meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) Also, Is tennis and Football (soccer) popular in Ozz? I'm going to visit my cousins there soon but don't know what to expect! Is it like the show Home and Away? Like nice beaches and fresh food and everything? Thanks everyone for your help, get the snags on the barby mateee :D

Hi, I don't mean to come across arrogant or something like that but I was just wondering what people thought!

Ok so i'm a 19 year old male and I've got a receding hairline and thinning on my crown too :( This is soo annoying as this started to happen last year. I eat very healthily and do lots of exercise so it's down to genetics I guess. It's so hard to put your hair the way you want it! Like it looks really bad for my age. I've started Propecia and Rogaine for a couple of months now with no side effects but I hate the thought of taking this drug for a long time :/ I don't really want to shave my head too because I wouldn't suit it at all. I'm 6'2 tall and athletic and I'm playing sport a lot so you always want to look your best and its soo annoying like it drains your confidence. Maybe this year I will be starting University too and like I know girls my age probably think that someone loosing a bit of there hair is a major turn off. Like I know everyone says it's about personality but looks count a little too. Sorry to sound weird it's just I wonder what you think? Thanks, Pepe :)

I'm quite a tall, slim guy. I'm about 6'2 in height which is maybe 187cm. I'm really trying to bulk up all around. I can't afford the gym at the moment but I've started my own workout routine from home using dumbells and body weight exercises. I know the gym would be a big benefit but! I work out on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday and sometimes Sunday. I also train for Football once a week and Tennis once a week. I eat a good balanced diet and I'm trying to consume more especially Protein and Carbs to help bulk out more. Do I just need to keep working hard? I've seen some small results in about 3 months but nothing dramatic. How long will it take to see some decent bulk up? I mean I don't want to be like super muscle but this build would be what i'd quite like to achieve: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2010/11/11/article-...

Also, after a workout my arms seem to decrease in size and then like a day after go back to normal again? Anyone else get this too? Ok so my workout is :

Monday : 40 Squats, 10 walking lunges with weight, Attach weights to feet and 10 reps of those.

40 Sit ups, The Plank, Abdominal twists sitting down with weight, Bicycle kick with legs.

20 Hammer Curls (2 sets - 10 reps) , 20 Back supported shoulder press (2 sets 10 reps) , Alternated Bicep Curls ( 2 sets 10 reps) , Standing shoulder press (2 sets 10 reps) , Straight Arm Deltoid raise (2 sets 10 reps) Tricep Kick Backs (2 sets 10 reps) Crouched Deltoid row (2 sets 10 reps) Concentration bicep curl (2 sets 10 reps)

Wednesday : All these bodyweight exercises - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqgGhJywnHI

Friday : (Same as Monday)

What do you think of this workout? Do I need to increase reps or perhaps do some different exercises? I'm thinking of adding a Protein Shake in to the mix soon too to get more protein! Should I add anything to my diet? Also do I need to work out more times a week instead of 3? Everytime I workout I try to do it an hour or less as I read more than an hour is bad! I normally workout at like 12:30pm ish! Do I need to do it earlier or later? Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi Everyone!

Ok, so who would you all vote for the Ballon D'Or 2013? And who do you think deserves to win?

In my opinion I think the winner should be a player from Bayern Munich, either: Lahm, Ribery or Schweinsteiger because last year Bayern Munich were the greatest side around and no body could touch them. However, I don't think this 3 will win it :(( And it will be either won by Lionel or Cristiano!

If I had to choose between the 2 of them I'd go for Ronaldo but I know a lot of you will disagree. I also think Zlatan Ibrahimovic should have a chance of winning it too. But purely down to Footballing reasons I think the one of the three Bayern players I mentioned above should win. Do you disagree or do you agree with what I say?

Here is the Shortlist for the competition by FIFA : Gareth Bale (Wales), Edinson Cavani (Uruguay), Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Radamel Falcao (Colombia), Eden Hazard (Belgium), Zlatan Ibrahimović (Sweden), Andrés Iniesta (Spain), Philipp Lahm (Germany), Robert Lewandowski (Poland), Lionel Messi (Argentina), Thomas Müller (Germany), Manuel Neuer (Germany), Neymar (Brazil), Mesut Özil (Germany), Andrea Pirlo (Italy), Franck Ribéry (France), Arjen Robben (Netherlands), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany), Luis Suárez (Uruguay), Thiago Silva (Brazil), Yaya Touré (Côte d’Ivoire), Robin Van Persie (Netherlands), Xavi (Spain).

The Microphone on my laptop is not working :( My computer is HP. When you go to Sound section on Control Panel it just says "Currently Unavailable". And when I went to test it on Skype the name of the Microphone normally appears but it doesn't come up and says no Microphone available. My computer is Windows 8 if that is any help? :S Sorry if the detail is lacking I'm rubbish at computers! Any help would be appreciated, Thanks :)

Do you think the majority of people will just buy it for PS3 and say buy a PS4 later on or wait for the PS4 and get Fifa with that? Which one would you choose? Thanks :)

As we all know it looks highly likely that Gareth Bale is to Sign for Madrid and possibly even be presented as a player tomorrow. What does everyone think about this? Personally for me, I think Bale is a very good player. He is extremely fast and possesses great athletic ability. However, I think his price tag (£85 mill-100 mill) is ridiculous! This is a player who will cost Madrid more than Cristiano and personally I think Ronaldo is on a different level to Bale. Also, If you take Messi and Ronaldo out of the situation I would say Falcao and Cavani are the next top strikers, But Bale is costing almost the same price as both of those players! :O This fee for Bale will also take the Galacticos Debt in to about 600 million euros! I come to the conclusion that Bale is a very good player who can still improve to be one of the best but I think he would be better of staying in England as I feel he will struggle to adapt to the technical side of La Liga. Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this situation!! :) Remember this is just my look on the story so don't give me a good blasting if you disagree. Thanks for your help everyone.

Ok so I know that BT Sport starts showing their first games tomorrow! I was wondering how I can watch the matches on TV??? I don't think my TV is a BT TV like it says on the website, it's just a normal Digital TV. However, My Internet hub is BT Infinity, like the black one with the blue lights! Does this mean I can watch the games for free? And how can I get them on my TV? Or do I just have to watch them on the internet? Anyone else in the same boat as me or have a solution? Thanks very much for the help! Cheers

Hi, so you might have seen some of my posts about hair and scalp before.

Ok so next week I'm going to see a Trichologist about my scalp to see what the problem is. For about nearly 2 years now I've been losing my hair :( . I'm only 19 by the way. I went to the doctors about one year ago and he said it was jus due to genetics and there was nothing I could really do about it :/

I've got very thick hair and on the sides and back but an receding hairline and thinning at the crown and through the middle. I've lost a lot of confidence from this I really look a mess! :( But on my scalp when I touch it I can feel hard skin patches up there. Whenever I massage my scalp or brush my hair, always afterwards their are dry white/silvery flakes in my hair. Sometimes they are almost a scabby colour like a dark red. I noticed the other day I had a little sort of cut on my scalp but I don't know how it had got their. I've also got this other little spot which is a random scab that has just stayed their for a long time now. I also seem to have a lot of dry skin on my forehead after washing my hair and on my eyebrows. Could this be some sort of infection that is causing me to loose my hair overtime? Or is this due to fate and genetics lol? I saw this thing called Seborrhoeic Dermatitis and it maybe could be a mild version of that? It's defintley not dandruff though as I never have it falling down the back of my neck or something like that and it's never itchy. Does anyone have any ideas or maybe you've experienced what I've got? Thanks very much for your help!

Ok, my sound on my laptop is not working. I've got the volume turned up to a 100% and still no sound :(.

When I go on to the "Control Panel" and go in to the "Sound" section it says everything is working correctly. But when you go on to the speakers and headphone section and click on test it says "this device is being used by another application". maybe that's the problem? I've tried putting my headphones in to see if the sound comes back on when there plugged in but it doesn't work also :(

It was working just earlier today but when I came back to my laptop it was not working! I've tried shutting it down and turning it back on but nothing. If it helps my computer is an HP Pavillion G6. Please help! Thankssss!

I'm only 18 and I think i have scalp psoriasis but only like a mild version of it! Can this accelrate hair loss and cause similar effects to what male pattern baldness can? plus does anyone know of any natural or decent shampoos to get rid of psoriasis? and if you get rid of it could hair grow back and thinning patches get thicker?

Ok so I have male pattern baldness :(((

But on the top of my head (crown/vertex) the hair has thinned out a lot there due to gentics i guess and is coming out gradually :( But in this area when you touch it you can feel some small white lumpy flake kind of things! And when a hair from that region comes out there is like a small white lump thing attached to it! It's defintley not dandruff! but i'm not sure what it is? Do you think this could be causing my hair to thin a lot on top as well as come out or is this still due to male pattern stuff?

Its not itchy or anything like that! Also when you itch your head in that region and you go to the mirror there are some small white like bulby flakes some square shaped on top of my hair? Weird? haha! Any help would be appreciated thankssss!
