Peptides are not one thing, it refers to a protein of less than 50 amino acids. You are certainly correct they are being explored as cosmeticeuticals for ageing but they are used as anti-cancer therapies, Alzheimer's etc. The idea that you can take 'peptides' for the rest of your life is not really very responsible thing to say, there might be some peptides on the market which have been around long enough for them to be considered super safe. However, anything that is referred to by numbers and codes has probably only really been tested properly on animals. What you are referring to is probably a growth hormone analog and i know that GHRH analogs have failed in clinical development due to myocardial infarctions. Be careful what you write on here when you know nowt about the subject.

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Bunsen Burners and a few cheeky retorts?

It's an interesting album but it's guaranteed to clear a dance floor at a party.

Husband comes from 'house' and 'bond' or'bound' or something in Swedish, also a word they have for window is 'lucka' as in 'fuck me lucka that'.

I've been listening to my old records and have come to the conclusion that house music peaked in 1996. I've been making a playlist of seminal UK (by region) and Chicago house from that period which i'll post up when i get time.

We had Confit of Duck yesterday for lunch, its probably my favourite. Served it with Salardaises potatoes (fried in duck fat and garlic) and green beans with shallots (you boil the beans for 2 or 3 mins then add them to frying shallots for 2 minutes). What made it extra special was the 2009 Pomerol which was lush. She'd been swimming and i'd been running in the morning so we felt justified in having the whole bottle with lunch. Fell asleep on the couch whilst the little one had her nap, perfect.

I see Android have cancelled Christmas, the bastards.

I'm working in Switzerland all week and will be dressed like an English gentleman for the most part in this Yorkshire tweed jacket.

I thought we were better than Swansea ad deserved something from the game, we were on top when they scored but without Colo we are too vulnerable to counter attacks. In fact we've looked vulnerable like that for most of the season. It's difficult second album syndrome but we looked better yesterday. Caulkin called it a mess but I though that was a bit harsh. We lost to Swansea at home last season at the same time as losing to Norwich. Bit worse this season but if you were in the 'lucky to finish 5th' camp last season you have to give prominence to the role of luck this season too. I wasn't in that camp so I don't but just saying. Edit: no we didn't, I'm thinking of the west brom game.

I'm going to assume there is strong evidence which makes them a threat to the security of his country. This is the reality of the war, they couldb win it through normal combat so they have to take people out who pose a real threat. If the threat is real, the actions are justified and the system is better served with a legally trained President with a conscious doing it than General Cheeseburger. As for the drones issue, as soon as the Taliban knew the US were preparing to reduce numbers and presence, they crawl out of their little holes all over the region to start taking back power. All this killing and stuff is going to happen anyway, its a question of how you want it to happen. It appears you would leave the moral judgements and the discretion to kill to army generals, which i find bizarre. The bottom line is this. He wont invade Iran, Romney would have.

“He realizes this isn’t science, this is judgments made off of, most of the time, human intelligence,” said Mr. Daley, the former chief of staff. “The president accepts as a fact that a certain amount of screw-ups are going to happen, and to him, that calls for a more judicious process.” The process was already happening, by installing himself in it, the decision to kill a military target is now not solely down to a military individual who is not a representative of the US people.

In every discussion about Obama there is the implicit criticism that he can do more to wield his power, you presented his preference for bi-partisan governance as his usual excuse for not getting things done just a few days ago. That article is basically saying he insists on approving the actions of others. Again this highlights a naivety about how the world works and the extent of executive oversight. What i take away from the article is that under normal governance, kill-lists are drawn up by senior military officials and implemented under their executive control. A US president does not have oversight of decisions like this. Obama has decided that the military perhaps are not the ones that should be making these decisions. As the article states, "Just days after taking office, the president got word that the first strike under his administration had killed a number of innocent Pakistanis. “The president was very sharp on the thing, and said, ‘I want to know how this happened,’ “ a top White House adviser recounted". The US army continues to make executive decisions which kill innocent people during a President's inauguration. They continue to draw up kill lists under their own executive power. Obama's oversight it not necessarily a bad thing if the bad thing is going to happen anyway. You could argue he should stop the killing of terrorists but if he acted like that, we'd be discussing Romney right now, as well you know.

As you say, from little acorns things escalate quickly

In the bogs obviously.

Aye, I only glanced at your cock in the Trent and you were sending me texts for months.

I remember very clearly when you first mentioned that on here. It helped me to give up properly, I'd reduced the smoking to one or two per day but couldn't stop altogether. I should thank you for that as the real motivation is my daughter but you saying that, or maybe the way ou said it had quite an impact. It can't be much more than a year ago, if that? I gave up finally in March after a couple of years of trying but not really. Any excuse to post the Becker article anyway, I love that paper.

No addiction is moronic, not according to Becker anyway. http://directory.umm.ac.id/articles/Becker_1988.pdf What was incredible to me after years of smoking was the realisation that it was the fear of giving up that paralyzed me from acting. Once I broke the habit I knew how easy it was. Not actually easy but a lot easier than you think. I started again for a week on holiday this msummer and then after a week or so of smoking again, I gave up again. Since then I have no fear of starting again as I know I don't have to continue, which is maybe not a good thing. Bottom line is i would now say I don't smoke even though the odd time I do.

Because in the previous post you indicate that there are factions at work in the US government over which Obama has little control. Which sort of highlights that he isnt the omnipotent figure that the hard left portrays him to be in their desire to throw all aspects of under-achievement (againt their own expectations) at him. Which sort of suggests that there are limits to the power of the most powerful man on earth (true story), which further demonstrates the crucial role of bi-partisan politics in a fragmented power structure. You know, the grown up way of looking at the world.

I sensed the tension in this issue from you, it must be difficult to reconcile the Petraeus narrative with the one where Obama personally sets off drone attacks, shoots insurgents and locks up terrorists.

It's not cramp as it feels tender to touch and it lasted a couple of days. I bought these trainers in May and must have done a few hundred km in them but I guess as they wear their form changes.

I've been getting pains on the top of my foot after running, just started a couple of weeks ago. Wrong trainers?

Define 'shit yourself'.

Who the fuck puts 16 tablespoons of it into a recipe??

The lass next to me could not have looked more disgusted if a rancid tramp had sat down next to her. It was a bug, our lass was sick at home about an hour later, she's next door in bed now still feeling rough. Must have been incubating for a few days. It basically strikes for 2 to 3 hours then leaves you feeling fucked afterwards. The brilliant thing about it was that it struck me during take-off. Is there a more opportune moment in life to have a massive bout of vomiting and the shits?
