Christmas Tree

You literally know fuck all. I would really like to give him credit for having a joke at his own expense. Expecting too much? Ssh, don't tell everyone. Overall a magnificent performance given the pitch and conditions. Thought it was a good "grafty" shift from most of the team. Jonas did well last night with his two assists but as somebody else has said, about bloody time. Tiote did indeed seem to run himself ragged and Barton looks as though he is suffering from Having Best up front. Rather than just play his normal game as he would with Carroll, he now seems to be pausing and looking for second options. Best got a goal, but the sooner he's at another club, the happier I will feel. With regard to Pardew, he is growing on me more and more each game. I think he's really giving this his all and has fully immersed himself passionately in what this club is all about.

Really though? The thing is, the whole calorie counting thing isn't really necessary if you've got a vague idea about food anyway. CT - you mentioned how you're learning about food and all that at WW, but haven't you been a member before? Didn't they teach you all this last time? Didnt stick it before and had the excuse of cost to give it up. Now the NHS give you 26 weeks free, that's another excuse not too, taken away. Learnt some stuff last time will learn more this time. It's like the biggest loser. Knowing every Monday your facing Davina on the scales means there is no hiding place and makes you think twice about that naughty snack.

Enrique on the wain tonight, Jonas ok however my motm was Tiote. Though he did well all over the pitch. Gret result with 3 points in the bag. Loving Pardew more and more each game.

250 pages long man Whats the summary.

??? Not sure what you mean? Is that not what a weekly bonus of 49 extra points is, or am I missing the point? Rather than saying you have 46 points a day, they say its 39 with a weekly "bonus ball" of 49 points. Its a motivational tool for different people. Some will make sure they dont use it and do even better, others will think at least once a week they can have that chinese take away. I will probably call it beer tokens. Its just a psychological tool. Because the program is meant to be about learning to eat healthy, rather than to diet. Its important for some from the off, to know that they dont have to give up everything and just exist on diet food. I agree with Dr Gloom that his way is probably better, but at the end of the day, its horses for courses. At the end of the day its a case of using the knowledge available AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WILL POWER, just like packing fags in. Funny though that the meeting leader and all of his helpers are vastly overweight.

mate, seriously, you're never going to cut fat going about it like that. good luck with it like but i just don't see it happening for you, sorry. cutting fat and keeping it off requires a complete rethink of your nutrition, combined with a proper training plan. fad diets like weight watchers don't cut it i'm afraid. don't mean to sound patronising like so don't take it that way. this is free advice from someone that found it very hard to cut fat for years. i tried a million different diets and forms of training until i found out what works. I know where you are coming from but what might suit a 20 or 30 something isnt always going to suit a 40 something. Personally I think the WW program is a good vehicle from getting from where I am at, to possible what you are talking about. Im starting from a position of an unhealthy job, unhealthy food and no exercise. The WW plan will start me tracking what Im eating, teaching me about foods that are healthier and more filling and rewarding me by giving me extra points (food or alcohol) for exercising. As I start to eat better, feel healthier and get fitter, then there is a good chance some of these habits will stick. Like most things done to excess, it is all about changing habits. I have even set myself a challenge of climbing sca fell in June to keep me focussed on getting healthier. I never see myself bashing the gym and all these routines as a lot of the younger lads on here talk about. It just doesnt fit in with my lifestyle of being a married father of four. I might not live as long but hey ho. i don't think age has to matter. depends on your goals. you just have to make time for excercise. there are guys i see at my gym in the 50s that are in way better shape than me; i'm talking really low body fat - abs popping out and everything. advancing years don't make cutting fat impossible. i was naturally lean until i hit late 20s when suddenly i woke up and all of a sudden i wasn't able to get away with eating and drinking what i wanted. so joined a gym and tried all forms of fad diets, i spent years down the gym getting crap results. i lost weight, sure, but never got anywhere near to looking ripped. i was basically trying fad diets like atkins and wasting my time by not doing a professionally designed training routine. it took about 3 years of wasted time (and money) before i did my research, read around, asked questions and worked out what i was doing wrong. i have a desk job that can get quite hectic at times. i quite often end up eating at my desk and working 12 hour days, but i make an effort to find time to excercise. by all means, stick with weight watchers but if you want to see real results - and by that i mean, lower body fat (not dropping pounds), better muscle definition and overall more pleasing body composition then i would seriously advise rethinking how you're going about it. i would be happy to suggest a training and nutrition plan that could work for you. i like to steer people on to the right path so they don't waste as much time as i did! I'll bear that in mind thanks, but I'll get going with this first.

To a degree, but like all things in life, a little bit of help changing habits doesnt do any harm. With regards to healthy food, I think each generation that comes along knows a lot more than the next, but I have no problem improving my knowledge and learning about things like mushrooms which are very healthy but also very filling. Food and its labelling, particularly to men of my generation who have happily polished off egg and chip et al over the years with no concern, can be a minefield so again learning about the advantages / disadvantages of Carbohydrates, Fibre, Fat, Saturated fat etc, can only be a good thing both to the person involved and the countrys finances. With regard to the last bit, I think the benefit of WW is kind of backed up by the NHS giving membership away free as a means of fighting the cause of obeseness rather than fighting the symptons. You're only 9 years older than me man Yeah but your educated and all that, can make your own pasta sauce and knows what Panacea means without google (thought it was a recipe).

??? Not sure what you mean?

Two things. The whole point of attending the hour long class is to learn about food, eating habits etc rather than just hitting point targets. Secondly, A normal pizza would be something like 25 points which wouldnt really leave much for breakfast, lunch drinks or snacks so most people would soon ditch the pizza for foods that used up less points. Well done to your dad btw.

Of course

How cool is that dude walking through town with a shark on his back Love the overcrowded train as well. How the hell they cling on when it gets going? They must lose a few.

First session at Weight Watchers last night and their (lying) scales had me down as 14-7, even though my own have me at a much healthier 14-2 Anyway, being beginners we had to have the full monty (which was unfortunately a briefing and not an all day breakfast). Im allowed 39 points a day with a weekly bonus of 49 points to use as I like. Not too bad really until you consider a pint of lager is 6 points. So today I have so far had.... Alpen 4 points M&S Vile Indian soup 4 points A Banana Free Going to have a garlic mushroom salad for tea which should be nowt, leaving room for about 4 pints watching the match at the pub.

Well Lua Lua's not back yet and Im saving Shane til Sholas back.

Feels like a 4-0 win for us.

Just mentioned this to the wife and got a similar response to the sketch.

Anyone know approx how much PROFIT is made per game.

US Marshalls 8/10 One of those dirty little secrets of a film to pull out when your lucky enough to get the telly to yourself and you just want to watch and not think.

This is the game at the end of a run where a manager now needs to earn his corn. Pardew needs to make some changes to try and find a short term combination that we can count on for goals. Best looked he was playing against Blackburn while recovering from a general anesthetic. I can forgive him being crap, but it looked as though his get up and go had got up and gone. After all his press comments about knocking on the door, I would have expected him to be running all over the place getting into great positions. The question is whether to drop Best or Lovenkrands in favour of Ranger or whether to push Nolan into attack and bring Guthrie or Barton into midfield. Its a difficult decision, for lots of reasons, but one Pardew needs to make. I would go with Harper Simpson Williamson Collochini Enrique Barton Tiote Guthrie Jonas Nolan Ranger

We've already got the Bobby Robson garden and the Bobby Robson bust taking pride of place at the entrance and the John Hall stand and Shearer's bar. Grateful as i am to all those people...It's a lot of praise when they never actually won owt for the club. As you suggest, I think decisions like this are more about the people making them taking some of the limelight from great people rather than shining a light on their undervalued contribution to our history. Aye, I agree with that. I think its nice for the ground to have its own names like the Leazes or gallowgate wherever possible. Sir John Hall was deserving of a shout for dragging this club in every respect into a modern thriving football club. Naming after managers is as Happy describes. Each generation usually has a deserving contender whether that be Joe Harvey, Kevin Keegan or SBR. There is no real reason why SBR should jump to the top of the list. All credit to them mind if the game and charity tie in is correct. (Probably organised by Ipswich though).

I love it, just love it. Two Platinum club tickets for the Bolton game off Mrs Tree this morning.
