Awesome film. Take that lazy bloated Hollywood !

Deary me. Cliche jackpot !

as opposed to the evil spawn of the devil penniless chairman we have now? Take your point though...

I think you're on to something there. The Scottish have made some of the greatest inventions in history. And their diet largely consists of deep fried beef dripping, apparently Well, to be fair to the Scots, it is rather nice to be chewin' on a pair of dripping beef curtains. * desperately tries to think of a pun involving a saveloy *

Did they really need research to conclude alcohol makes you last longer?

I'm Spartacus... No im sparticus Oh, go on then ...... I'm Spasticus Autisticus. Artisticus, shirley? Not according to Mr. Dury , "I wiggle when I piddle as my middle is a riddle I'm Spasticus I'm Spasticus I'm Spasticus Autisticus" Genius Googled it and you're right goddammit. Must have been the cockney accent that fooled me. * plays the anti-cockney card to get out of jail * Cockernee card accepted Kitman *spaz*

Can't say I'd be too disappointed if Argentina don't stand a chance I can see it now- England 1-1 Argentina. Quarter final. 90th minute. Gerrard wins a penalty with a blatant dive. Beckham puts it away. Terry Butchers head explodes with delight. Geddin

They seem to have a chip on their shoulder about us having a chip on our shoulder. Bloody slave traders, always a chip on the shoulder.

Snappy. It could catch on

The Museli rule. Girls that eat healthy are evil. If she chows down on a full English and drinks beer then all will be well. You should only eat healthy if you've got something to be guilty about

Parky Jnr has started chess, is it time to slap her on the butter/lobster diet?? She'll be a world beater. I have faith. Give her some chips.

In all seriousness, it really has. It's deflating. They thought the kid was a basket case, but apparently he wasn't

Eat Flora. Be thick. Now that's a catchy slogan.

Nice one. I assume Tonga escaped the Tsunami that recently devastated Samoa? Aye, they sat the King on the beach. Island saved. The King: "Errr can you run that past me one more time? You want me to do what when the big wave hits?"

It's a load of hot air imo

Food research is riddled with fad-ism. Next week it'll be something different for fat Americans to obsess on. I remember reading some time ago Muesli munchers are statistically more liable to commit suicide since they lack carbs in the brain essential to counter depressive mood swings. That and the fact that muesli tastes like gravel misxed with squirrel droppings and takes ages to eat.

Running a marathon, grab a carbohydrate bar. Lifting weights, gulp a protein shake. But climbing into a fighter jet? Butter-soaked lobster might help. That was the surprising finding of a new military-funded study that sought to figure out what types of foods were best for pilots when missions restricted when or what they could eat. University of North Dakota researchers found that pilots who ate the fattiest foods such as butter or gravy had the quickest response times in mental tests and made fewer mistakes when flying in tricky cloud conditions. High-carb diets trumped high-protein in performance tests. "We wound up analysing the data every which way but upside down. It came out consistent every time,'' said psychology professor Tom Petros, who conducted and reviewed the tests. Fat has been considered a villain by some nutritionists. Earlier research in humans and animals has linked diets high in saturated fats to mental decline and shorter-term problems with memory and learning. Athletes and others with physically demanding jobs generally focus on a high-carbohydrate diet for improved performance. The study's researchers aren't saying people should now load up on biscuits and gravy, in fact researchers said it's hard to draw conclusions from their study because more tests are needed to figure out what's behind the results. Follow-up studies begin this spring. Researchers said the study is not aimed at weight control and noted that because the pilots are young, they're able to absorb a high amount of fatty acids for brain development. Military experts hope the research will eventually help improve pilots' performance. Statistics from America's National Transportation Safety Board show 80 per cent of civil and military accidents are caused by human error. The study tracked 45 student pilots to assess how different foods affect a pilot's performance. Every three weeks, each pilot spent one week on four different diets: high-fat, high-carbohydrate, high-protein and a control diet. The menus were similar so the type of diet wouldn't become obvious to participants. In some cases, the difference was in the drinks, condiments, gravy, salad, vegetables and desserts. "They loved the day they got brownies,'' said Glenda Lindseth, who helped lead the project. "They all got them, but some of them were a little smaller and some of them didn't have frosting.'' One typical meal was thin crusted extra meat and cheese pizza for the fat diet, a thin crusted chicken supreme pizza for the carbohydrate diet, and a grilled chicken breast with mixed salad greens, fat-free salad dressing and fat-free shredded cheese for the protein diet. The study used a flight simulator that required students to descend in cloudy weather when the runway wasn't visible and using only the plane's computers. The pilots then had to climb into a holding pattern. They also took tests that required memorising and repeating numbers and comparing shapes. "I could tell the difference on how well I was doing on the different diets,'' said Jeremy Ternes, who participated in the study. "There were times I thought, 'Wow, I was a lot more on today as compared to last week.''' He added: "I think a lot of people felt they did better when they got the lobster and the good stuff.'' Based on their test scores, pilots on the high-fat and high-carb diets performed substantially better than the high-protein eaters. The high-fat dieters did slightly better than the high-carb dieters. "With additional research, these findings may help decrease the number of aviation accidents due to pilot error, which is especially important for the war fighter,'' Lindseth said. More study is needed to determine whether the findings will have a lasting effect. "Most of the studies indicate that a diet of saturated fats like those found in junk food reduces cognitive performance,'' said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a physiological science professor at UCLA who was not involved in the study. "I will be more interested to see what they find when they monitor the composition of the diet.''

Little bugger. I'm not saying the kids are bored in Colorado but....

I'm Spartacus... No im sparticus Oh, go on then ...... I'm Spasticus Autisticus. Artisticus, shirley?

I sincerely hope the boy's OK

Can't say I'd be too disappointed if Argentina don't stand a chance
