    yeah.... I dropped my fagott back in 1996

    Well pick it up, wipe the fluff and dust off it, get some more gravy and eat it properly, stop playing with your food!

    Learn something new every day! I'll have to look these up!

    Good luck OP on your life style quest!

    Here's a recipe from one of our odder celebrity chefs - personally, I hate them :sick: but that's just me! Maybe my mum just bought cheap ones that weren't nice! I seem to remember them feeling a bit grainy in the mouth. Also I've never like offal in general.

    It's actually a very, very common term in Europe.

    Is "*kitten*" used to mean "gay" there as well or is it more commonly associated with cigarettes? Just curious

    Cigarettes.

    We're aware of the US meaning, but if you say the word *kitten* in the UK the first thing we think of is a ciggie. And it probably lacks the shock value here - rather like your fanny pack which will sound innoccuous to you, but does make us do a double take when we hear it! So a thread with that title has no shock value to us.

    Fanny pack sounds ridiculous to me too and I'm American.

    Hi, anyone else out there giving up smoking on the same day as starting diet? helllpppp!! lol x

    Hey! :)
    I didn't start the same day but I quit smoking first, quit about 6 months ago, started diet and exercise about 5.5 weeks ago...it takes a lot of dedication but you'll feel so much better, just don't deprive yourself TOO crazy with food, eat the things you like but in MODERATION and try to incorporate more veggies and lean protein :)
    Good luck :)

    I did the same thing at the beginning of september, and everyone thought i was crazy. I am now 4 weeks smoke free and down 10 pounds. It can be done with some hard work and dedication. Best of luck to you xx

    First got my attention for "friends needed" then saw the rest and sure wasn't thinking about smokes. : ]/ (Forgot about cigs being called that.)

    Best of luck! It's a tough road to do what you're doing, but you'll be so glad you started! In a short period of time you'll look back and say "Wow! It's been two years since I had a cigarette", or "It's been ten years!" and it will feel sooooo good!

    Plus you'll save a lot of money!

    A fanny is a...front bum in the UK, not a butt like it is in the US ;)

    Read the thread :P '*kitten*' is British slang for cigarettes. We don't really use it as a derogatory term for homosexuals over here.

    Today is day 8 for me, dieting, upping the exercise and no *kitten*. I am using an e *kitten* and well, it is going okay, much better than I thought. Thankfully the weather is deteriorating and I cant smoke at work so no going and standing in the rain for me...

    Feel free to add, I know I am going to need support along the way.
