Be Excellent To Each Other

How would she know you do that, is equally weird!

What about absent-mindedly pissing while reaching for a cotton bud?

She was having a shit.

That's amazing!

Imagine the shot he'd have got with a Nikon though.

There really is nothing worse in this world than a shitty toothache

Agree I had a couple of them last year, my sympathies. Painkillers & cheque book for visit to dentist

I've ordered the Zombies! game. Need an Unplugged soon!

If you organise it, they will come.

(Seriously though, someone should organise one, I think Curiosity is likely to be a bit too busy in the next few months to set one up).

Yeah I got an emergency appointment (thank fuck) but even the 30mg x2 codeine are not even touching it now. Nothing like that throbby kicked in the jaw feeling to wake you up at 5am

Wouldn't mind, but now I have a sore throat on that side too.. I had an appoinment on the 21st December but obs couldn't make it because of the flu. Not sure what he can do as it's just collapsed into a gaping hole into my jaw, but I guess he could fill it for now or something.

My plan for the day:

Fun

=
Even more fun.

I did this one year, it went up like it was covered in petrol and the flames were about two stories high. It was most impressive.

I'm going to compost the chippings.

Some ash is great for compost.

I totally agree, but doesn't friend Curio get a discount from the only man with a limper handshake than Kovaks?

Either fill it in or take it out either way OUCH !! I hate dentist's they scare me.

Found my Ipod. It was in my glovebox all along (which I searched twice).

'Band of Brothers' is utterly awesome. When on holiday in the autumn we found the line of trees they were camped in during the 'Bastonge' episode - it made my hairs stick on end*

Remember this?

Well I don't remember filming and uploading this:



or this:



Hurrah for modern technology!

V2.0 > v1.0

Quite literally, sir.

I do remember that we drank 36 of those not-very-nice shots of vodka, and stacked them up in an attractive pyramid. A serving wench came and started taking it down, and we booed at her.
She told us that we'd only knock it over, and I scoffed at her and told her I was good at balancing (I am).
She told me she didn't want me to take the risk.
Then she knocked them over.

Bloody thing, and being as I live in a flat on a middle floor, the chances of me being able to fix it are zero.

Looks like i'll be running some coax around the flat at the weekend!

Cash in bank accounts guaranteed by the government has risen to £85,000 now.

Whew, that's a weight off my mind then.

Tramp with amazing voice

Aww, that's quite a touching story really. Hope he gets the job.

Worst hit-man ever.

Wow, that is an amazing voice.

That's pretty much my dilemma Pete; although I do a fair amount of exercise/weight training, I do love my food and have a slow metabolism. Fuck knows what I'd look like if I didn't do any exercise at all; I'd be the size of a house.

I do find that exercise helps with concentration and fighting fatigue though, which is a bit of a paradox I always think - but it's something to do with the brain releasing dopamines and all of that, as well as raising metabolism generally.

A guy in the office does zero exercise and never stops eating (although to be fair, he doesn't eat crap), yet is famine-spec thin. Lucky sod!

Yup, I reckon there's no better fat burning exercise than running mate, at least in my experience.

(Personally I hate running and have anything but a runners' build - I'm heavy (15 st+) and pretty stocky - but I force myself to do it nonetheless).

Dropped another pound or so.

Eep.

I sympathise entirely, but there again, I just love the way exercise makes you feel after you've done it. Were it not for my constantly reminding myself of this fact, with varying degrees of success, I wouldn't bother (plus vanity is a big factor too, if I'm being totally honest).

I'm not really going on a diet, although I'm trying to cut out booze, both for health and wallet-boosting reasons. I am going to try to get more exercise, so I'd actually probably need to start eating more, but better.

We should make a Beex Running Challenge. Every one add how far they've run to the total and we'll see how long it takes for us to cover the distance to New York.

I used to loathe the idea of running and then I started running set distances and measuring my times and seeing the improvement. I found it became a lot more enjoyable when I knew that each run was making me measurably faster. It's also been a help with quitting smoking, if I have a relapse when I'm drunk and try to run the next day or even two days later it's hopeless.

It's quite low, actually. You'd burn about 140 calories per mile at your weight, so you'd use up the energy in a Mars bar in just under two miles, and a Big Mac would power you for 3.5 miles. A marathon would burn 3,640 calories -- about one-and-a-half large deep-pan pizzas with meat topping.

People tend to over-estimate the important of exercise in weight loss. Unless you're, say, an actor losing weight for a role and can devote six hours a day to it, it rarely makes much of a difference. Eat less to lose weight; exercise to feel better.

There are excellent iPhone apps for this; they automatically tally your runs using the GPS and construct leaderboards amongst all your friends.

The quickest way to lose weight is to stop drinking, and men also lose weight faster than women. Also, if you are attending a 'fat club', purchase two pairs of trousers in the same style and color, one a size larger than the other. Wear the ones that fit the first week, then, then next, wear the outsized ones and keep pulling them up in front of the other fatties.

Gaywood - true, but three 5 mile runs a week will save you, what, 2100 calories in a week, which is 2/3s or so of the way to losing a pound per week.

Mali is correct re: booze, provided that your weapon of choice is beer or wine, and not, ahem, gin and slimline.

I have the Nike+ GPS app thingy, and I think that does all that on a website somewhere. (Can you tell how often I have been running? )

On a sidenote, the xmas advent calendar of awesome (which netted £42 in scratchcard winnings, yet cost £38 in scratchcards. Not too bad though, 10% return in a month ) Has been replaced with The Biggest Loser 6ft high, 6 week weight loss challenge chart for Mrs T.

What about if it is all three?

Then you're onto a winner. And keep drinking the gin.

I think you've only gone to further prove my point there; that's over a half-marathon a week -- a fair time commitment I'd argue -- to burn off about 10% of your overall calorific intake. Far more efficient to just eat 10% less.

Certainly true, and Time did a long series of articles on it last year. However, delving into them it isn't that exercise itself doesn't cause weight loss. It does, in a big way. However (to generalise) most people take on exercise as a new thing, find it a chore, and so 'treat' themselves, sometimes massively. As you pointed out, it takes a fair amount of exercise just to work off a mars bar, so if every gym session is accompanied by a muffin, you may not lose much weight. Add exercise without changing anything else, though, and you'd lose weight just as surely as if you changed your diet.

For me, the sweet spot came when I started cycling to work. I already ran, but now was doing an extra 5-8 hours of exercise a week, and not eating massively more (though definitely more). Lost nearly a stone over a few months (or, it took me a few months for me to notice - suddenly got excited when my 5k time came down by a minute).

I reckon going easy on the beer has easily knocked 10% off my calories total - 200 odd calories in a pint, and I was easily getting through 10 of them a week ( or the equivalent in wine ).

That's 3 lots of 50 minutes per week, which is hardly a big time commitment. It also keeps you fit.

hahaha not if I'm running!

To be fair it's more than that really. Personally if I do a 10k run it might take me about 50 minutes but by the time I've got ready, done the run, cooled down enough to be ready for the shower, actually had a shower and got changed again you can pretty much double that.

Don't shower then.
