I disagree. I know plenty of cases where older guys date or marry much younger women... they don't get called creepy. They used to get called "sugar daddies" back in the day (especially if they're wealthy) but there's a male equivalent to cougar nowadays - I think it's manther. I'm not that clued up on modern slang. This…

The UK is pretty strict about this kind of thing - the law says that high school teachers cannot be in any kind of sexual relationship with students, even if they're over the age of consent (which is age 16 in the UK, and year 13 students are age 18-19) - this is a law that's enforced strictly and this would end a…

And quite often I'll have a burger with a salad on the side. :drinker: I love a well made salad. So long as they don't overdo the lettuce. I don't want to eat a crap ton of lettuce. I like variety and protein in my salads.

I want to see one about oxygen. Aka the metabolic waste of plants. A necessary component of many explosives....

Is there anything wrong with the idea of bacon salad? I mean why does it have to be an either/or choice?

A lot of criticism and problems from other people about food choices can be avoided. It's very common for people on diets and/or trying to get healthy, is to tell everyone all about it. This unintentionally alienates people a little bit - yep part of that may be due to their own feelings not yours, but often people just…

Are you eating enough the rest of the time? Binge eating in a lot of cases is the direct result of eating too little - it's a survival response that stopped our ancestors from starving to death. Unfortunately it's all too common for people to not realise this and to decide they lack willpower or they have a problem with…

Any diet lacking in protein is a bad idea. The body needs protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water to function right. And oxygen. What annoys me about diets like this is when you point out to people into them the issue of the lack of protein, they go on about all the micronutrients (vitamins and…

that's not due to lack of calories. You can get enough calories from lean meat, but your liver can't cope with the metabolic waste from metabolising so much protein from energy. The upper limit for the amount of protein the liver can cope with is about 400g for a healthy man in his prime.... though you need to adjust that…

wait... Americans have a north-south divide too? I'm from London. that means anything that's north of the Watford Gap is "up norf" there's a north-south divide within London too.

biology specialist (aka you have to teach physics and chemistry up to GCSE as well because of the national shortage of science teachers)

Teenybop not sure if this is recognised as a genre, but it's basically all the boy bands and other music marketed at young teenagers. Justin Beiber is a prime example. Bros and a whole lot of crap produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman in the late 80s are also classic examples of teenybop but even that I can't say that I…

poor clutch control or when the clutch itself is wearing out are the usual causes of grinding gears

I like the sound affects... and the music. The foam rolling thing is hilarious :laugh: :drinker: It's a good antedote to "I don't want to do _______ in the gym, I might look silly" - most of it doesn't look half as silly as you'd expect.

it's probably not as bad as you think - you will have lost water and glycogen from the muscles you're not losing, making them look smaller and feel a bit less firm. Unless you've been not using it for weeks then it's unlikely you've lost that much actual muscle tissue. I don't think there's much you can do about it over…

hi :) anthropology is cool :) I'm totally obsessed with paleoanthropology. See my blog: http://cavepeopleandstuff.wordpress.com/ And I'm 5'1" tall :) I also used to suffer from depression and anxiety... what helped me the most was counselling/therapy with someone who really knew what she was doing, plus heavy lifting and…

I think you should see a doctor/physio about that, because that's not normal at your age (34, according to your profile). You shouldn't be getting age related deterioration so young, and lifting usually helps to slow that kind of thing. You could have some minor injuries, e.g. overuse injury, tendonitis. Or some other…

pickled onions also, putting crisps (chips to you other side of the pond people) in sandwiches along with the other fillings. Delicious :) also, cold pizza for breakfast.

[/quote]and maybe this [/quote] Long hair and a beard is also :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: as is being a Norse god and smashing things up with a hammer

Bald guys are hot so long as they are proudly bald and don't try to hide it with a comb-over. Comb-overs are about the worst thing anyone has ever done with hair, ever, in the entire existence of humanity. Seriously. If you're bald, a short cropped style all over plus a beard is totally :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:…

that's what came to my mind too. Although I haven't ruled out the "she's stupid" option altogether. You can get big muscles without lifting barbells or dumbbells and doing those things while systematically avoiding barbells, dumbbells or other weight training devices is no more a logical fail than women who say they…

LOL shrinks your arteries.... where do people get these ideas from, and how do they think the human race survived before we invented things to lift heavy things for us? Hey, neanderthal men, don't try to carry that heavy bison home for your tribe to eat, lifting heavy things shrinks your arteries!

another non-kid one. I can speak a little Arabic, and one time I said "ma b'aarif" to this guy who's friends with my husband who also knows a little Arabic... but turns out he didn't know that phrase: me: ma b'aarif him: what does that mean? me: I dunno him: why did you say it if you don't know what it means? me: it means…

This is not something a kid *said* it was something he *did* 2 yr old boy, toilet training so quite often went about the house with no trousers on. He has a tablet computer... and one time his mum found him using his penis like a finger to operate the touch screen LOL

I don't see a problem with them so long as they're not actually driving the car while taking it. If I sold car insurance, I'd add a huge extra amount to their premium if it came to my attention that they'd taken a selfie while driving. What makes me laugh is the number of people who post pics of them doing illegal stuff on…

Bench presses strengthen the pectoral muscles (the ones that sit under the breasts) - breast tissue is fat and mammary glands, so there's no muscles in there to strengthen - however by strengthening the muscle underneath it, you give them a better foundation, so to speak. Push-ups are pretty similar in terms of what…

you're addicted to caffeine. Switch to tea or coffee. If you want to keep the calories really low, then have it black with no sugar. Although the calories in the amount of milk you add to tea or coffee is pretty low, so as long as you log them it's fine. Switching to diet pepsi/coke/whatever is another option. Caffeine…

WA isn't intentionally misleading - MFP lists EN for England and WA for Wales and NI for Northern Ireland.. not sure what the abbreviation for Scotland is. For some reason it also lists the ward that someone's from, which is weird because I've not come across anyone in the UK ever referring to the ward that they live in...…

lol.... damn ambiguity...

I totally get you about skewed risk assessment....... before I went to uni I worked in a small drugstore/supermarket for a bit...... one of my work colleagues told me how worried she was because she'd read somewhere (I'd guess the Daily Fail) that apples cause cancer and she wasn't going to eat any more apples. She smoked…
