Thread number one, no harm done.
This morning, right, I took the only free seat available in the carriage and the bird in the next seat was so titanically fat that I had to perch on the front edge of the seat and lean forward to achieve even a semblance of sitting down. Then I opened the paper and read that one in three final year primary school children in Britain is overweight or obese. That's fucking child abuse.

Fat cunts, eh? They're so....fat.

Alt: Trading places:
Whose life would you not mind swapping with? I mean this entirely superficially OK: no-one is asking you to abandon your loved ones etc so calm down. For me it's Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. I know he's a smug, speccy wanker and that his quasi-self-sufficiency is a lie propped up by his book sales and TV wages AND that getting up at 2am to stick your arm up a cow's jacksie or whatever probably isn't as LOL as it looks on TV but I still feel a slight pang of jealously when I see his semi-rural life. So for me it's Hugh or Keith Richards, either would be OK, thanks.

Hasn't there been several instances of children being judged on their BMI and it producing crazy results?
Also, I wonder how much of it is down to school dinners. I don't know how much they will have changed since I left, but they were hugely unhealthy when I was there.

My daughter's school dinners are fucking frightful: chicken nuggets etc.
If you get that shit at home as well you are pretty much doomed.
(, Thu 13 Dec 2012, 8:26, Reply)
Before I realised how easy and enjoyable it was to cook, I used to have chicken nuggets a couple of times a week
Not because they were nice, but because they were seriously cheap, and at the end of a long day, I couldn't be arsed.

Glad that attitude has fucked off, long done with chicken nuggets and chips for tea. Tonight's tea will likely be butternut squash and chilli soup.

I've started either keeping soup at work, or cooking chicken the night before, shredding it and putting it into the fridge
In the morning, add the chicken and some frozen veg into the steamer, take it to work, then at lunchtime put some water in the bottom, and there's a healthy (but a bit dull) lunch for you.

Also, I am aware that there are several euphemisms in the post above

You're thinking of a different strand of breaks. Freeland did nu skool breaks. Stuff like Forme, Bushwacka and Evil Nine.

Slowed down hardcore is more jump up breaks, like what your mate Matt Cantor was making.
