My weight goes up and down like, an up and down thing!! Early last year I lost quite a bit by walking an extra part of the way to work, and cutting out pies and that kind of thing. Alas the inspiration I felt which made me do it was lost, and the pounds came back. One thing that has stayed the same on average is my beer intake, I still sup as much ale today as I always have! Good luck with the diet (horrible thought) ISIHAC, and yes I think Medi will always be the same shape!!! Lime and soda, God 'elp us!!

I find is that endorphin production usually requires spending large sums of money. Fast cars, great heights, fast.... skateboards? Boats. Planes. Dangerous Sports. Horses. Dangerous dogs.... Public Debate.... Speakers Corner... Stand-up Comedy.... Very true, but having lived a life of debauched mayhem I find that it's gone full circle and I now get turned on by climbing a steep hill and looking over a fantastic landscape or imbibing a really good bottle of wine. Walking also has its unexpected dangers! Last week I was harrassed by a bloody horse, it's the last time I turn my back on one of those buggers, then I got half way across the next field when I realised that the lone Highland cow in the field was in fact a bull . Have you seen the size of their horns?

Have you seen the size of their horns? Oh yes! And they're real, and attached to a ton of prime muscle with an attitude. Not screwed onto the wall of your local Steak Restaurant! I did warn you earlier about horses. It was in my list!

My weight goes up and down like, an up and down thing!! I was exactly like that until about 3 years ago. Now it just seems to go up and up, like an up and up thing....

Not being a meat eater myself, I think the French have the right attitude towards horses

And I thought I had problems! Fortunately, I don't miss the alcohol much; don't know why. The diet was not a conscious thing, it just happened that way and actually started while I WAS still allowed to sample nice beery things. The not sampling nice beery things has just speeded it up a bit. Not complaining - I'm just not the man I was

That's always the best thing, if possible. Best when it's organic personal growth....... (Oh God, pass me my dungarees and a mantra sheet....... : So not-me, but I know it's true. Nice one, and the allusion is not lost on us. I can usually do a Ramadan-style 1-month-off-drinking a year. But after that, I seem develop a Coca-Cola habit....

Bleugh! Coke! Yuk! Fortunately, I have good taste in food. That is, I tend not to like anything that relies on factory-produced chemicals to give it flavour! And I hate fizzy drinks and things that are too sweet, salty or fatty tasting. My favourite foods are made of fresh vegetables, lean meats, dairy products, fish and various herbs and spices. Oh, and real ale! I rarely buy chocolate (although I will eat it!), biscuits or cakes- although having said that, due to a weird impulse my oven is as I type full of half-formed cupcakes ;D I consider myself lucky to have such healthy taste in food...but the annoying thing is I am STILL heavier than I'd like to be But then again I'm a woman [Good thing I reminded myself about the cupcakes. Mmmmmm cupcake!!! Anyone like to share?]

i want a cupcake! The ones you just baked that is. Some of us a privy to silly nicknames and are keen to avoid confusion ;D Personally, as much as i got quite passionate on the choccy thread, i like meat more than anything and would happily give up choccy forever to still have steak and pies and pasties and fish and what have you, i love brocolli too which is apparently odd and salad bars are currently the first place i head in the supermarket. Probably why i get away with all the ale and burgers at the weekend

I used to have "Medibot Syndrome" and went through life collecting monikers such as as "Cambodian" or "Biafran" in reference to whichever unfortunate nation was starving at the time. Then i hit 26 and took up Tai Chi Ch'uan. The warm-up consisted of doing a series of power breaths that concentrated energy into my "dan-dien" or "mid-section powerhouse." Soon afterwards, my midriff began to thicken considerably. I gave up the dreaded, evil Tai Chi but it was too late. By the way, i found unrequited love was a great way of shedding the pounds- sterling, that is. I would drink to find some relief from my problems only to wake up next morning to find that in addition to my original problems having failed to go away they had been joined by a thumping headache, sore stomach and an empty wallett

Mmmmmm cupcake!!! Anyone like to share?] *thinks* Aha! Save us a few and you could deliver them to us poor Salisbury people at Basingstoke Station on Saturday! ;D You'll be going West as we head.... well... the opposite way! I could swap you a homemade apple pie, only it'd be a bit big for you to carry to Eastleigh. And the Eastleigh probably have a strict policy forbidding the entrance to the Silverlake with fruit desserts of any kind. Just wish they'd ban their own flippin' drum.

Getting away from booze/food and back to the original post, a fan of KTFC has been living in Accrington for some years and commuting quite regularly to home games. Last week he moved to Burton Latimer, a little village just outside Kettering. This Saturday we are away at Leigh ... which is only 20 miles from Accrington lol
