Four pages in and no one's actually properly seen him play then, aside from a small segment on youtube. The fact Cisse and Foluwashola are shit and useless should be enough to want another striker in, regardless of his perceived pedigree.

Woakes or Morgan?

No and no. Though I've not had a bug of any kind this century tbh, not even a simple cold, but I wouldn't put it down to so-called superfoods. Apologies for the cheek, I'm glad you are recovering quickly.

If it works for you in that respect then at the end of the day that is all that matters really. Recent studies have shown that calcium absorption isn't enhanced by taking these kinds of supplements. For me, that is a concern as I don't have much of a calcium intake to begin with (I don't drink cream milk or eat sardine bones or any fish bones for that matter), most of my calcium is derived from consuming kale - so I need to make it count by ensuring my body absorbs as much of it as possible. UV inflicted mushies are the best source. At the end of the day like everything though, any supplement needs to be met with a half-decent nutritienal diet to be beneficial.

A decent mental leap I guess, fortunately I've not affected others (yet) around me before I've realised that I needed change. I've been told that I look and act relatively sober after two bottles or so apart from the glassy eyes and I retreat instead of becoming confronting when I get to a really bad state. Doesn't diminish the problem (as I see it though), and it doesn't take away from how I'm feeling about it either - it is a bother to me - and I don't want it to become a bigger problem then it is already. Of course I don't want liver or pancreas problems in a decade's time either. I'm still in my health phase/kick, and being a creature of habit that I am I will let this continue for as long as possible without disruption or excuses. What I do after this phase will ultimately determine the next steps that I need to take.

A vomiting bug, eh? No, I've never experienced one of those before.

I think I'm the same as you tbh. I can't do moderation. I'm either clean living or I'm drinking 2 bottles of wine a day - yes it has gotten to that stage now where I'm not satisfied unless I drink that much. Arranging dinner to suit what I fancy to drink is at the end of the day just an excuse to get stuck in and a sign of a problem, aside from needing 2 bottles to be satisfied. I'm in my detox/fitness mode atm, been at it for 10 days, so I can stop in phases , but it is just a phase and not permanent and that is the concern. Last time I had a blood test the doctor told me my liver was in the state of a hepatitis sufferer, and that was last October. Christmas/New Years has come and gone and I dread what state it is in right now. Getting to the stage now where I must consider permanent sobriety - there are no in-betweens for me. Congrats on you taking charge with it btw.

HIIT workout. I'm not vain but I must confess that I look like a fucking athlete. God like.

Vitamin D supplements are a waste of time. They don't do what they claim to do. If you want a good dose of vitamin D without sitting out in the sun and risking skin cancer leave mushrooms out in the sun for 20-30 mins before consuming. That is the best way.

Looking for something absolutely fucking filthy atm. Can anything get more degrading than Sasha Grey? Fisty, help me out here...

Not much that crosses my mind. I think I've mentioned it before but I have one raw beetroot a day blitzed (along with apple juice and tumeric) purely for health purposes. If you try this then I must worn you that the colouration of one's urine takes getting used to. Doing a number 2 could cause grief too if not used to it, but the years drinking copious amounts of red wine (which causes the same problem) in a sitting has allowed me to not blink an eyelid at this.

My lady is away this weekend for work (she works for an airline). Hmmm... might have a Russian themed visual fiesta.

Bit too old to be interested in that kind of thing. I believe you though, everything they do is off-the-scale good aside from that shitty pixelated porn. Studied and worked there for a bit myself so I know the culture. Probably the only country in the world that could handle large scale disasters without the need for martial law - the most orderly race of people I know - it is in their DNA. The food is fucking awesome too, and healthy despite Western fast food influence. There aren't any ugly, self-loathing obese pricks over there. Even those who are obese (Sumo wrestlers) are healthy despite their look. But again, need to unpixilate the porn...

Jap porn is shit - pixelated cunnies and all that. Not cool.

The English version of a hamburger has always been shit to be fair, especially those that are available on various British websites. Too much fucking about on the subject, diddling and daddling about semantics, putting this and putting that in the mixture to make it better. Keep it simple, keep it honest. Making a good hamburger does not require many methods or ingredients, it just requires just good produce.

A real burger has beetroot in it.

I would not endorse something that would make me leak like the Exxon Valdez.

FIFA announce that the WC in 2022 won't be held in June-July. Rather it'll be in December-January. Won't this be a bit of an arse for European leagues... Fucking corrupt cunts, there's nothing this sporting mafia organisation does that surprises me anymore. I just laugh

Blended with banana, kiwi, mango, non-fat yogurt and apple juice it isn't. Not fucking delicious, but it's not bad. Been doing a lot of blended stuff recently. I have raw beetroot (blended) daily without fail now.

KP versus Andy Flower showdown. Flower (from the outside) looks like a twat, especially given the weak comments he made earlier on in the Ashes series publically stating his worry for the short-stuff. Not what you want to hear from a leader. Excused them to play like cowards thereafter which they did. Oh and if anyone needs reminding, 5-0.

Watched all three series in the week after Christmas. I'm hooked. Never been into fantasy stuff, comic books, or RPG games when I was a younger lad, but this is quality. Need to watch it in blocks of 3-4 episodes at a time especially to start with so you quickly get accustomed to 'their world' so-to-speak. I shall do the same when series four comes out - record the shows and watch them that way.

One of my favourite slow cooker recipes this one, I make it often in the cold winter months. Piss easy to do and the end product is lush. If you want it a bit more soupy, which I prefer, just add a cup and a bit of beef stock and a bit more stout, and an extra teaspoon of cayenne sprinkled over the veg at the start doesn't hurt either; http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Beef-and-guinness-stew-recipe-306133 Edit - Been a few months since I last made this, I had forgotten to mention that chucking in potatoes cut into quarters, as well as celery and onion cut rustically as well adds more depth to the stew/soup hence the need for the beef stock. I also add in about 2-3 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce, 3-4 cloves of crushed garlic instead of the suggested one, and a couple of bay leaves. Chuck it all in the slow cooker and forget about it for five hours, come back and when the veg is soft (as the beef would be) it is ready. Absolute comfort food.

Think this will be over sharpish anyway, which I am not happy about. If it doesn't get through to the fourth day with a fair challenge available I'll be fucked right off,

Well done son

Try it in soups as well. One week have a Mexican variation - veges of your choice, beans essential, with smoked paprika, cayenne, Mex chilli mix, bay leaf, tin of tomatoes. The next week have a Moroccan version - veges of your choice, chick peas would be advisable, tumeric (fresh is best, but the powdered stuff is all right too), grounded coriander seeds, grounded cumin, masala, bay leaf, tin of tomatoes (optional but preferred). Obviously you need veg stock to make thses soups so make your own, and don't add salt to it. Only add it while cooking soup to taste, you may think you won't need it in the end. The key to this venture is to not get bored. Vary it up and good luck friend.
