Good morning.
It's far from that, but hey ho. I am struggling more than a little at the moment.

I was reading about 'coach potatoes' this morning. Not quite sure what they are, Metro, you fucking wankers. Apparently we're the third most sedentary nation in Europe. Only the Maltese and the Serbs are worse. How embarrassing, eh?

What is it about a nation's behaviour than lends itself to a lack of exercise? Could it be our long hours culture here, I wonder? We cannot blame the weather: surely the Norwegians and Finns would have a better excuse. The Maltese I know nothing about, and the Serbs are of course bull-necked Slavs and are little better than lumbering beasts.

Alt: I am really starting to loathe the Olympics. Every company under the sun is putting out ever-more-tenuously related ads: there was one for fucking TAMPONS which they'd desperately shoehorned an Olympic theme onto. Olympic periods? Jesus fucking Christ. This isn't a question btw.

Morning
There was something on the radio this morning about some research suggesting that lack of exercise is potentially as big a health risk as smoking. Good. Too many fat, lazy people in the world.
We've developed into a nation of feckless layabouts, too idle to even walk upright in the supermarket. The number of grotesquely obese sloths I see meandering up and down the aisles, using their trolleys to support their gargantuan frames, like some sort of lardyboy zimmer frame, frankly appals me.

Alt: Report them to LOCOG - there are laws governing who can and can't use the Olympics to promote their goods, restricting even the use of words, such as 'summer' or 'gold'.

Public transport: unable to cope & tube drivers want a bonus just for doing their job.
Roads: loads blocked off in central London just for officials and sponsors, with huge fines if you drive in one.

Nice to see some anti Eastern European bias this time in the morning.

what signs of decomposition would you expect to "see" ?

Last time I checked there aren't any 3" long hairy bacteria with teeth. They deliberately kept the meal in a dry environment to prevent mould (because, OMFG, they had a vested interest in the results), so the burger just dessicates. Which makes it look the same as normal unless you look closely.
