  • I'm with Waldo on milk but my fave for the little ones is omelette. You can add just about anything you want to it to suit dietary requirements and it's quick! And of course if you don't add anything to it, they call it scrambled eggs!
  • True and False, UK driving licences don't have weight on them! TNP has never been to London
  • IMHO your photo suggests you definitely have the figure to rock in a bikini. But it's about how you feel. Nobody really pays attention when you are laying there soaking up the rays but if you are less comfortable when walking around, then a sarong looks great and draws attention away from the bits you may be more self…
  • True (generally) TNP has caused a motor accident
  • 1, 7 & 8... although I think I've got it wrong though, it's all with the same person!
  • They ran a programme on this here in the UK. I missed most of it but the basic theme was that 1-2 minutes at full tilt in your chosen activity, followed by going slow and then another 1-2 minutes at full pace, has a much greater beneficial impact than regular longer sessions at less than full pace
  • What goes around, comes around is a saying here in the UK. My neighbour, talking to my wife, commented that she thought I looked like I was carrying a lot of weight!!! My wife was gobsmacked! I've lost most of my weight, her husband is now as big as I was, but to boot, has lost most of his hair. Neither of us have said…
  • Damn right being knifed is better than being shot! Mortality rates for gun shot is over 30%, knives tend to be about 5%. Abdominal GSW is 17%(ish) whereas stabwound is just 1%. And you have a better chance of successfully defending against an assailant with a knife than a gun. That said, it isn't right that anyone should…
  • Good God, I'm guessing most of you live in the US! Pretty much everything you mentioned is illegal in the UK including pepper spray, knives and batons. Oh, including the Glockenspeil but that should be the case world wide. But not the umbrella, they are still ok (for the time being). I was really looking forward to my trip…
  • My wife has scoliosis, her lower spine was pinned in the 80's, she's 40 now. Her twist was lower spine only and it was operated on before it became too severe. She lifts light and concentrates on Karate for building core and overall fitness. Her view is that it just isn't worth the risk lifting heavy, the implications of…
  • Oooo thai fish cakes. nice and spicy, plenty of recipes on line, done with a satay sauce dip made from crunchy peanut butter! High protein and low cal (except for the peanut butter)
  • I'm in the UK but coming to NY for a week in June. Second visit and I absolutely love the place, does that count? ;-)
  • Bump, suffice to say there are so many fantastic people and fantastic achievements on here! Amazing and motivating!
  • Can oh so recommend the Covent Garden soup cookbook, it has 365 recipies. Readily available here in the UK, where most people will recommend the name, possibly available from Amazon or ebay for the US!!!!
  • I didn't really notice much at all, particularly when feeling discouraged, until I put a tape measure round my waist and loosen it off to what it used to be. It was only 7cm which does not sound a lot but even a couple of cm's looks massive like that!
  • I love a mulligatawny - spicy to help raise the metabolism. I cook loads of soups, and tend to mess around with the quantities of the ingredients to suit my diet. Generally though, the mulligatawny is: 1 chicken breast - in chunks, fried in a teaspoon of butter or olive oil Then add: 1 large onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 1…
  • And you Jules are most definitely a 10
  • Well, SHOUTING won't help
  • I told you so
  • I agree with Hannah, you are highlighting to them the stuff they know they should be doing and that makes them feel a bit guilty and probably a bit inadequate. It's easier to tease you and push it back at you than it is to say "you know what, you're right and I don't have what it takes to make the change right now". It's…
  • And that is why I want you to have your front teeth removed!
  • Pretty much all fish can be easily cooked by creating a tin foil parcel! A tiny bit of oil on the skin to stop it sticking, and then pretty much any herbs, vegetables or spices that you fancy. I love brown trout with lemon and dill, a teaspoon of butter or olive oil, some cherry tomatoes, asparagus and brocoli. Create a…
  • And with your nickname I'm worried you consider that a tip :wink:
  • Bad Taste, an early Peter Jackson film. Bizarre, gory and oddly funny.
  • Real books every time but I am a bibliophile! The feel of a book and the smell, especially really old ones. You can reproduce the text of a book but the the feel and look of my 300 year old book on poisons is what makes it special. Read books lined up on the bookshelves, evoking memories when I glance over their spines.…
  • LOL, that's disgusting but we have all either done it or had it done to us so you are forgiven because if we condemned everyone who farted in the gym to hell they'd all go bust
  • Use it or lose it
  • Same here!
  • I stole this one but it made me laugh If you were a McDonalds you'd be a McGorgeous coz you got real nice buns!
  • Ok, so not foregiven, but have you guys never done something that you later regretted?
