A survey for the god-awful-since-the-redesign NW magazine has shown that women want to be super skinny and think a size zero is attractive. Well I find this very difficult to believe. Every woman I know shudders when they look at those painfully thin pictures of Nicole Richie and most curvy women I know prefer their [...]

What is it with Aerobics classes at the moment? I remember the days (long long ago) when it was a good 45 minutes of jumping jacks and grapevines, and then 15 minutes of abs and stretching (I can’t believe I just said abs…) Anyway, lately my gym seem to be danc-ifying their aerobics and [...]
Pill popping

I always thought that there was only a limited number of headache tablets that any one person could buy. I always thought that this was about a large packet of 16 or maybe two. But last week I went to my local Boots to get some ibuprofen and thought, I’d like to buy as [...]

Yes, yes! So chuffed that The Proclaimers are at number one with I would walk (500 miles). Not only is it great for charidee, it’s also one of my fave songs. I have very fond memories of sitting in prep (er… shut it! I’m hard, and not middle class at all OK?) listening on [...]
Semi-unique
Posted in GCSEs, Scientists, babies, twins on March 27, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Scientists stunned the world today (no rilly) with the discovery of semi-identical twins. Now, I’m no geneticist but even with my GCSE in Biology (grade C nonetheless) I know that twins are either identical or they’re not.
Some people just want to be too special.
Pepsi and surely
Posted in Pepsi, addictions, diet vs full-fat on March 23, 2007 | 3 Comments »
A rather happy accident has just happened. We’ve just had a nibbles run and I requested a DIET Coke or DIET Pepsi. Being a stupid boy who can’t shop, my colleague came back with a PEPSI. Yes, not a diet in sight. Silly boy.
I can’t remember the last time I had a Pepsi. The [...]

Not being terribly on the button as far as music goes (fnar) I’m not quite sure who the Klaxons are. I mean I’m sure I’ve heard at least one of their songs, but I wouldn’t be able to pick them out in a line up. But this quote from them in the NME peeved me [...]

I’ve had my beloved black calf boots for a while now and it’s fair to say that they’re pretty worn in. They’re in desperate need of a re-heel (damned cobbled streets) and have also stretched so much that I now need to wear two pairs of thick socks and my feet still move about [...]
Happy days…
Posted in SAD, Swansea, commuting, happy, spring on March 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Happy first day of spring people! I’m quite proud of myself for managing to ward off the usual SAD I get during the winter months. It wasn’t nearly so bad this year. Partly this is due to not having to get up at 5am for a two-and-a-half-hour train journey to work. I now skip [...]
