I still don't get why people give a shit about what other people wear or the tribe they want to belong to, to be honest. Life is too short. If that kind of stuff gets you gritting your teeth or wanting to hit people, I suggest you find something more interesting to do with your own life. Sex seems to help. Maybe you'll give less of a shit if you were getting some.

Lol, totally looks like Rosie.

I was groped in Hammersmith on a weekday lunchtume a couple of years ago when I was walking down the road on my phone. Chinese looking guy passed at a slow jog and grabbed a handful of arse as he went by. Didn't even change pace. I just stood there with my mouth open in shock. Couldn't believe it. Had a young, black guy grope my arse about a year ago in Kennington when I was bending over locking up my bike. I managed a volley of choice swear words that time and he ran off. I really would have liked to have punched them both in the face, but I think they rely on the shock factor and delayed reactions as we process what has happened. Hope you are feeling ok about going out running still. It can happen anywhere, don't let this idiot make you feel unsafe.

To excrete or not to excrete, that's the question.

I hate shopping for anything. Totally pisses me off having to waste my time on something so dull. My kids drag me out to buy clothes when mine start to look like I stole them from a homeless person.

So staff don't get annual leave in your workplace numbers?

I had a blood and sand last night and it was gorgeous, fitting too :-) I'm thinking Kickboxer, more than D Day though

Burning something in oxygen to get it's calorific value, bears no resemblance to the breakdown of that same substance by the body. The chemical breakdown of fat and glucose are different and the reaction of the body to each is totally different. High levels of glucose from carbs causes the body to produce high levels of insulin, which then act to remove the glucose from the blood and store it directly as fat. After years of subjecting your body to high levels of carbohydrate, your insulin response can result in extreme fatigue after consumption of carbs and eventually to insulin desensitivity and diabetes. Fat does not have the same effect on the body. It takes energy to break down (unlike most carbs) and the release of energy is slower and doesn't cause the damaging high insulin response that carbs do. Add to that the fact that the hunger response is switched off by eating fat, not carbs and you can see why reducing carbs and increasing fat intake can actually help you lose weight. Calorie counting has been totally discredited.

I weighed in at 84.5kg on Sunday and started a reduced carb diet and more exercise (I'd been slacking a bit of late) and I weighed 82.3 this morning. I had to go into work early for the BT guy (been waiting since 6th November for a line) so cooked chicken and veg for my breakfast (I made sure we had a hob when we built the kitchen :-D). Tasted gorgeous. I'm going to stock up on protein and veg in the office so I can cook low carb food and force myself to do at least 3 heavy training sessions per week, plus my usual cycling about the place and see if I can't get my flat stomach and toned muscles back 

I want to get to The Big Green Gathering this year. Did it a few years back as a litter picker (free entry & food :-)), but might buy a ticket this year. Not as expensive as other festivals, but it's full of hippies, travellers and the great unwashed, like festivals of yore :-)

Hi, I've pm'd you.

I'm sure I'd find something else to do!

Glad this guy got locked up, pity it was such a short sentence http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-30800652

Lol, just checked the triptogether link above. It looks like a hook up site! Maybe if it's an activity thing you'd be ok. I was thinking of doing 4 weeks on a Thai Boxing boot camp. You're welcome to join me :-) I'm actually crap as a travelling companion. I can cope with doing stuff with other people for a couple of days, then I want to go and do my own thing. It must be even harder with someone you don't know. Has anyone got any positive stories of this kind of thing? It must work for some people.

I usually travel on my own or with my kids/granddaugher but I know a lot of people who go on fitness weekends and I've been on a few. They are ok and I've done a 2 week holiday in Grenada with them, which was bearable because I did my own thing most of the time and I got on well with my room-mate. My mum used to go on day trips with a group and started doing weekends away and stuff with one of the women she got friendly with, but they went to Ireland for a week and nearly killed each other. I think groups are safer, lol.
