All them so called wonder diets are a load o ackers mekkin shite Pat. Obviously a lot o people o genetically the shape they are n eightin ardly fukk all they can be physically underweight, losing strength, fitness, health and overall well being. Bone density, metabolism play a big part in an individuals  ideal weight so never tek any notice o them loo-ad o bollox ideal weight for height charts, in my case accoordin ta them a shud bi 9 fukkin stoo-an! Fukkin ell at that weight a wunt bi strong enuff ta gerra fukkin ard on! Simply put, it aint wot thy eights, it,s ow much thy eights in relation ta thi overall activity level!

I think the camera took a few pounds off for a change! Still got a few pounds to get rid of to achieve my fighting weight and take the strain off my gammy hip and ankle,but the next couple of days of debauchery with the stepson and his mates won't help! 

I don't even ask how much TLO has spent on the diet crap Dave,thousands I'm sure,but she managed to put on 4lbs on the trip while I lost about the same despite the 3 or 4 gallons of Guinness consumed in Brecon. Just stuck to 1 light meal a day and no snacking and with all the scurrying about the weight fell,seemples!

Funnily enough I suggested it might do her for a dildo but when she felt the 60lb weight of it she declined the offer! I've got one of the empty shell cases in the porch as a walking stick holder but always fancied one of those drill rounds to stand next to it,probably could've walked out of the museum with it but didn't want it rolling about in the back of the van all the way home! Unloading them off trucks in their vacuum packed steel containers at the range was always fun as they then weighed 105lbs!

I feel like the world's most crippled man today after getting speed marched round half of London yesterday to get to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to watch the rugby final between Leinster and Toulouse. The Frogs won and then it was a marathon Guinness session in The Bricklayer's Arms near the ground before another tab to some fancy burger joint and the train station to get home to Cambridge. Must've done over 10 miles in all and could barely get down the stairs this morning to get to the airport,but a good weekend anyway!

I didn't even ask Don but I seem to remember a round of 8 came to sixty something quid,so about 8 quid each I think. When in Rome and all that! It wasn't great stuff either as the pumps there are altered so they can squirt the stuff out into the plastic glasses in seconds to please the impatient Londoners instead of the 7 minutes required over here,with a short offered to drink while you wait!
