Whinge, Moan, Rant And Anything Else Put It Here ...

[Dave]

Been in the same boat this week mate. Feel like crap but lucky for me I've been able to do some work sat on my arse and still pulled in some money. Chesty cough, damned migraine blocked nose and sneezes that could reach the outer atmosphere. Also feeling weaker than Trojan on a potty

Now that made I .....

i'm in the opposite camp here fellas. As a qualified biological scientist i find bacteria and viral infections fascinating and more intelligent than many people. A viral cell has no nucleus and can reproduce itself faster than than most of Hull but it 'knows' exactly what it's doing. It has exploited a niche and is living life to the full, a bit like Simon Cowell except when he comes on the box i'd happily exchange watching him for a severe dose of swine flu. I've had my fair share of illnesses believe me and it's shite but they truly are amazing, adaptable and resilient and if you believe God 'invented' them you must be insane.

Anyway, women who slim down before their weddings, whats that all about? "I don't want to be a 'big' [1] bride" they say.
But everyone and their whippet/lurcher knows full well the day after the wedding the diet sheet :rules: will go out of the window and the stones will pile back on, so what's the point in the first place?


[1] big=fat

Hmmph. Maybe to have one day in our lives where we are not utterly ashamed of our ginormousness and don't feel the urge to smash a camera everytime one is pointed at us. :no:

Just maybe....

Didn't work for me anyway. I was a 'big' bride.

did like the way you meandered into that HRG......

thing is, emet can be slightly harsh! =D

size is just a size..............

[HRG]

Ha, I know. I've read one or two of his posts before! I find Emet an entertaining character round these here parts.

What can I say, I'm a sleep deprived fat bird suffering from grumpyness induced by a self inflicted chocolate/ice cream/cake/alcohol/everything nice restriction.

Ok nearly most of Hull but deffo all of Barnsley

Whoooooh, calm down, I'm hardly silth-like myself at 17st+ :-o (I am 6'2" and large framed, so not a massive amount over) , I just don't get wanting to change for just one day. Either do it permanently (for health reasons if nothing else) or not at all. And please, please don't blame hormones or underactive/overactive glands. Its no coincidence that Americans are the fattest people on earth while many African/Asian countries are the thinnest. Could be something to do with the amount of food available and eaten maybe?
For my sins, I drink too much, so I know exactly why I'm overweight and what I could do if I want to lose a bit.

Elephants are "large-framed" you're just a fat barsteward

Oh I wasn't angry, I thought the use of the non-existant word 'ginormousness' might hint at not being entirely serious. Maybe a little grumpy, but not angry. o:)

I'm fat because I eat and drink too much of the bad stuff and not enough of the good stuff, but unlike your good self I'm a shortie at 5'3" so look very big.

From a girly point of view though, I always wanted to lose weight permanently for health and confidence reasons, but sometimes you need an 'event' to get your massive arse into gear. Then you can look back at the pics and think 'I looked alright there' and decide never to be a fat bloater again. Huzzah!

But, er, I failed. Was doing alright 'til I took a nurses advice then it went a bit wrong. Anyhoo, just have to keep on trying.

As for America, they put out chocolate covered, custard filled doughnuts for the breakfast buffet. I was in heaven. Explains a lot though!

Todays rants are as follows:

1. Why the f**k does nobody know how to cook fish properly these days?!! All the chippies i visit around here have fish at 4 or 5 quid and i would have happily paid that to eat the pissing thing raw like the Japanese rather than the slimy, watery offerings they sell. IMO a well cooked fish should be fluffy, meaty and brilliant white inside and have batter that is crispy and nobbly. The fish i get dished out everywhere is pale in the middle, watery and the batter is like some sort of 'case' moist with a smooth sheen finish so that when you get the fish home and unwrap it, the paper takes all the batter off the fish in one fell swoop! Do us a favour fish shop proprietor and cook the **** things properly or go and batter your arse!

2. The 'new' England shirt. Red badge put on old shirt - £40 quid please. Genius.

3. Went ten-pin bowling today with my little girl and there were two youngish women on the lane next to us with a little boy. One of the ladies was normal as she spent the entire session playing bowling with the lad. Meanwhile, the other lady spent the entire session arsing about with her camera taking photos of anything that moved. She even took a photo of the actual scoring screen and some of a huge errant bumble bee that had somehow found its way into the alley. I wanted to say,'listen love, stop taking photos of shite and throw a few balls for fecks sake'. I can understand she might want to get a few snaps of the little lad enjoying himself but she hammered it. It was like a photography obsessed tourette sufferer who had to snap something everytime a tic occured. Jesus. Actually enjoy what you're doing love and put the camera down. People nowadays they spend all their time snapping away at events and places to visit that when they get home they've forgotten what they did when they were there. Freaks. They would take photos at their own funeral if they could. Let it go and enjoy the moments without having to reach for the gadget! Unless you get dementia or something there will always be something more powerful - your memory.

That sounds like a combination of fish being re-frozen too many times and the cooking oil isn`t anywhere near hot enough! Unless you march back in to the gaff and slam the fish down on the counter and complain how crap it is and that your wanting your money back then nothing will change!
