"Your'e" is quite impressive, though. Bravo.

Weighing yourself every day (at the same time of day) and tracking it is a good thing. Drawing conclusions from short-term changes or individual weigh-ins isn't. As long as the wider trend is a positive one, though, then It's just struck me that CT is basically adopting Gemmill's 5:2 daily fasting plan, but on an 11:1 monthly basis instead. He should write a diet book.

It's Pancake Day, and there's no need to be afraid... Time to rock out these big boys as usual: http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/3452/baked-spinach-and-ham-pancakes.aspx

And on a lighter note...

Nah, hate is a strong word. I'd tend to save it for something that actually affects me. Of course I might find certain practices (with)in the hierarchy of the Catholic Church dubious, distasteful or even disgusting, same as with anything in life, but that doesn't have to be conflated with "hatred". I suppose you could argue it's a matter of semantics though.

Can't even quote the date on your own poll correctly. And WE are supposed to trust YOU with the economy?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!! (Also, are those grease stains at the top? )

Hate? Not really. Anyway, I'm sorry for your loss but I'm not sure what it has to do with a silly picture I found on the internet.

Tweeted a bad pun about the horse meat "crisis" which was retweeted by Paul Sinha (who follows me for some reason), thereafter by Mitch Benn, and thereafter by dozens of their followers. I get a notification to my phone every time this happens and I can't seem to turn the fucking things off. (I suppose I should add #fml #humblebrag to that)

I really shouldn't but

I can see the 5:2 thing working. My worry would be overeating on the post-fasting days, in response to hunger pangs and the body telling you to make up for lost time. But if you can keep that under control, sorted.

Fishface and I have decided that your foodie blog needs to be cookeryandabuse.blogspot.com. Mouthwatering recipes topped off with a mouthful of bile.

Oh go on then, someone has to..... What did you have it in/how did you prepare it?

Nope: stir then serve. That's the stage at which you'll be stirring in butter/milk/seasoning anyway. Lovely creamy goodness.

So many gags coursing around, inevitably. Some good, some bad. I liked "The Pope's hardly the first person to lose interest in their real job so soon after joining Twitter."
