Cheeky Bleeder at the Gym
As in some bloke who was cheeky, not literally someone bleeding everywhere.

Hello from Blighty
Hi folks. I've just been referred to the Oxford Weight-loss and Lifestyle Service (OWLS), and as part of the programme was asked if I'd like to take part in a study to determine the most effective exercise regime for those who are just starting a diet. There is a non-exercise control group, a resistance group and a…
