Luckily for me I *luuurve* broccoli. It might just be my favourite vegetable and now I learn it’s also been looking after me all this time. Researchers (that paradoxically anonymous body of self publicists) have determined that eating broccoli is a sure fire way of resisting the development of prostate cancer. The recommendation is that … More Real men eat broccoli!!
Hands up all those who know that 500 grams of green potato can make a 45 kilo person *very* seriously ill? It’s almost enough to put you off your bangers and mash.

Got this link to Mappy Hour from the wife… maybe she’s trying to tell me something. Either way this site might be the single greatest contribution to world happiness ever created. Remind me to thank her later!! 😀

Decided this morning, like a good pair of curtains, I needed to pull myself together so I girded my loins and dragged my sorry carcase off to the Diet Doctors for some motivation and advice. Explained my theories about testosterone… and as usual got sidelined. Will have to follow that up again over the next … More Hi-ho, hi-ho…
As I wrote a few days ago, in a moment if mad weakness I joined a gym… again. On my way out yesterday I noticed a little motto above the door which reads ‘Stay Focused’. The extent of my interaction with the place was that when I read it I didn’t see that… what I … More Gym-jams
