The fella's away till Tuesday so I'm taking the opportunity to go veggie for a few days (I'd call it detox, but with the Fish's birthday drinks tonight and Matt's tomorrow... ). Tomorrow I'll be rustling up the usual batch of curries that look like baby sick, but for today it's Brock's tried-and-tested ratatouille with eggs poached in the same pan, served with toasted rye bread on the side.

Blatantly trying to force her into an arranged marriage with Shane.

OH GOD THEY GOT CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER, DIDN'T THEY? :( :(

Is the "issue" that she is to be "with issue"?

Cheap at half the price. (No, hang on...)

(Quality Paint skills there)

Aye, like that ever works

I just assumed "self-actualization" was a euphemism.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

If it's anything like this stuff - http://www.nidar.com/Products/Chocolate/Smash - it'll be bloody gorgeous. And dangerous.

That's just crazy talk.

Please let this happen.

Depends. Does he have a lisp?

We've got this far: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-23137477 Still fearing the worst, but hoping for the best. Fingers firmly crossed...

Next time you need to turn around, look her in the eye and tell her "Don't you scoop on your carrot suede mash".

The new signing's a Vainqueur?

Where are these magical Googling skills when you need to find a pub with a kids' play area somewhere, anywhere on Tyneside? I appreciate the sentiment, anyway, but nah - it's not that I don't know how to get fit or eat healthily, since I've happily done both in the past, I've just made a conscious decision not to ever since doing the GNR a couple of years back and it's time to revert that decision. The "excuse" payoff to my original post was merely the usual world-weary cynicism that I'm expected to display on here.

To provide a bit of balance to this thread (literally), I'm a fat fuck and have done precisely bugger-all for the last few years except eat crisps and drink lovely alkiehol with all its lovely dead calories. Anyway, I've joined the brand new leisure centre and pool five minutes' walk away, so there's really no excuse for not starting on the long road back to fitness again. But I'm sure I'll find one anyway.

Aye, I use an add-on in my Firefox browser, so it just burbles away in the background and I can take a look whenever I want to. My job has me online for most of the day anyway so it's a pleasant little distraction, just like this place. If I had to take out my phone or actively go to the Twitter website or something then I probably wouldn't bother.
