Me neither.


*phew... is tired after being on new exercise bike*

exercise bike? new years resolution?

I bought it recently . Unfortunately last year I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem, and I've put on a lot of weight. I'm starting with an hour a day, broken in ten minute sessions.

ah, well good luck with that.

you are setting a good example. *nods*

*looks at crisps longingly*

by the way.... where's the bloody nods smiley?

I'd never been prone to putting on weight... blessed with a high metabolic rate.
However, this last year, with the thyroid problem,  I suddenly put it on  Nooooo!
I've gone on an Atkins style diet so apparently its ok... you can eat as much as you like, provided its the right stuff... meat, fish, poultry, eggs, certain veg ( i.e. high in protein, low in carbs )

as long as you are getting enough carbs... good luck with it.

after going to secondary school i put on heavily, you'd think with all those stairs in that bloody building it would be pretty hard, but no.. lol haven't really been able to get much below 12 stone since.. i like carbs too much... couldn't live without crisps.

Ahhh crisps, mmmm...
Also potatoes in general, don't know how I'll live without them

mmm potatoes...

*has a rincewind moment*

 Que? rincewind? That went over my head, as many things do...

rincewind is very fond of potatoes.. yes indeedy.

(discworld... i'm being a geek. )

Oh, I see
Will, it could be worse, at least I don't have to give up mushrooms...

that is a good thing. but then i'm thinking all the stuffs i like mushrooms in are probably banned. lol

Aye, true...

I see JM it taking a break from his Telegraph column. Hopefully he's busy doing some more tv?
oh b.t.w. I don't know where the nods smiley is... it never showed up for me anyway

oh hopefully... maybe the next big tg adventure.

Oooh I hope so. Wonder where they'll go on their next trip... probably not Mexico

probably will be mexico... bbc making them 'pay'.. joke disguises (sombreros/fake moustaches and the like)... dodgy accents...

forcing richard to eat seafood of some sort.

Heh heh oh I do hope so...that would be a great trip  
It could happen!... after all, they slagged of the USA... and returned, were mildly polite about them... no harm done.

can be done.

ooh! did you richard is selling one of his cars in auto trader. the morgan, so if you have a spare £100,000 just lying about it could be yours.

 lol, RH is selling it in Auto Trader?

yeah, was in the sun today. (realise that isn't the greatest source of the truth) 'one infamous previous owner'

 lol, I wouldn't buy a used motor from him... would you?

perhaps oliver... i think he would take extra special care of oliver. not that he'd ever part with oliver though.

deffo not sure about the morgan.

Yeah Oliver I would buy  if RH would ever part with him.

i wonder if he got the bullet hole padded up? or if it's still there for posterity?

Hitch, Did RH get shot at, on that trip? I can't remember it... *scratches head* Are you sure you're not mixing it up with his " I love Man Love" car ride through Alabama? I can say for sure he was shot at on that one

ah no.. olly got flooded and he had to blow a hole in the floor to drain him.

richard thought he was smarter than the other  two fording a river at a certain point... only to get stuck.

Ah yeah, I see. Wasn't that the one where they were tailed by the dreaded white VW beetle, in case they broke down.

indeed it was.

Oh Hitch did you hear, the guy you like who plays Moss in the I.T. crowd, has just directed a film? Apparently its great too, it got five stars in the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cul...Festival-review.html

yeah, called submarines.

he was on a show up here called the hour (co-hosted by michelle mcmanus of pop idol 'fame') talking about it.

sometimes i'm surprised by the guests they have on a naff teatime show... (they had noel fielding and his friend (not julian barrett) on recently too.

Maybe they want an excuse to come up to Scotland?
  Well at least its good to see a new British film out, thats not all about Lahhndahhn gangsters. Theres been a few of those so far ( mostly crap ).

oh! gangsters are so boring! (except the breccia... )

i mean, ignoring my mafia wars level, that's just me clicking links.... but gangsters just swear and act hard all the time... dull. :nods:

True, true.
Generally I don't like gangsters, though I will make an exception for Omar Little from The Wire. Technically he robbed gangsters though...

ah, well then. anyone that causes gangsters problems is fine by me.

trying to keep my red nose on straight an retain the ability to breath... very difficult without mouth breathing skills.

 lol, well done for enduring a badly designed red nose.

Looks like Comic Relief did very well last night, biggest total ever. Your pain was worth it

i ended up dozing off rather early.... never made it through alan carr.

ok, not that early... but i was going for a while...

didn't think the nose was that bad. normally they dig in and hurt my nose.. this was nice and soft, plus, my nose sticks out enough that i could clasp it to the tip.

did you partake of any rnd hilarity?

Err no... I didn't even watch it this year... but I'll watch the 1 hour highlights show on tonight.

I really should donate.
*opens purse and watches moths fly out*

ooh moth... i shall keep it as a pet and call it arthur.

donating is good.

Arthur the moth lol  i love it.
Saw the comic relief one hour highlights... err of course the serious bits were very affecting, but the comedy skits were pretty lame, considering the big names involved. I only laughed once and that was the Susan Boyle + Geraldine duet, when Subo's wig kept getting bigger.

yeah, subo was good.

the celebs round a table deal may have been funny if it hadn't already been done better by the ad mascots for children in need. *nods*

there was something i liked... but i can't remember what it was... not the newport thing... i must've been watching this in a  dozy daze.
