    The random disclosure thread.

    Pondering whether a man in my position should really be think about buying a Rolex on interest free credit over 3 years. The fact that I'm giving it so much consideration probably gives a pretty good indication of the answer to the question I've been asking myself over the last few weeks, oh well.

    A friend of mine once locked the keys in his car outside my house, with the engine still running.

    Got to go and pick up the cockerel from the poncey butcher soon. Probably have to sit in the car for an hour while the wife joins the queue of people collecting their well-reared - but ultimately KILLED - animal for Christmas lunch.

    Two hours in Tesco, but Christmas food shopping now done. When I parked, a woman getting into the car next to mine said "God help you."

    Pulling out of a narrow drive, into a narrow road, with a wall opposite, almost full lock, you cross your arms on the steering wheel, don't you ? Trouble was I was wearing a denim jacket, with the cuffs unbuttoned. You know what denim jacket buttons look like - perfect shape for getting wedged in the cleft between the horn/air bag and wheel spokes - just like a climbers nut !! I accelerated away but suddenly realised my arm was trapped and couldn't bring the wheel back. Managed to brake and eventually yank my arm free but it was a hair raising few seconds !!

    Popped into Waitrose at around 4pm today for some last minute food shopping with the wife.

    Place was a crowded, frantic madhouse.

    If someone could see us all from up there, it really would look like total insanity.

    Moving them without waking them is a key parenting skill you need to learn ASAP. Until then, it's the homeless person's weather forecast for you (warm front, cooling later).

    The random disclosure thread.

    I just had to go to "the other butchers" as our usual butcher was out of breakfast sausages and smoked back bacon...shhh, don't tell the missus who refuses to buy meat from there. I also felt like a bit of a tit asking for anything other than a duck, goose or turkey!

    Oh and Shepperton High Street is like a war zone...

    At work today but just nipped out for 45 minutes to get the missus some Christmas presents (because I really haven't been bothered to do ANY shopping this Christmas and I know she'll go to effort on my gifts).

    I do this pretty much every Christmas Eve.

    Still, gifts bought in 45 mins and I'm pretty happy with them. Nice and efficient as always. Result.

    The other half keeps telling me that she hasn't bought me anything "exciting", I know we've got a 7 week old baby Daughter and I'm nearly 30 but I can't help feeling bloody disappointed already.

    How selfish am I!?!?

    I'm amazed how big the liver and kidneys of a rabbit are. We're having stew tonight but I'm looking forward to the innards, devilled on toast, for breakfast tomorrow.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    My two kids have been on the santa tracker and then went to bed at 8pm....they're still nattering. They'd best go to sleep soon as I've still got to stuff the old bird....the turkey can wait for now.

    I see more boobs and back-bottoms in mine (front-bottoms don't sell)...

    Got a stinker of a cold today (SWMBO say's it's too "productive" to be man-flu - yuck) but am feeling rather out-of-it due to self-medicating with Rioja.

    It seems to me that ultimately the only way to lose weight (other than temporary water loss) is by burning more energy than one takes in from food. This is rarely going to be as quick as one would like, I would have thought.

    I wonder, can anyone point to figures: How much does 1 mile of walking weigh in terms of fat loss?

    Depends on effort put into walking that mile... but @ 3mph approx 20mins probably "burns" in the region of an extra 110-130 calories...
    ...it seems generally accepted that 3500 calories equals one pound of fat.
    (so a brisk 30 mile walk should see you lose 1lb !)
