Like they thought it was a mistake the first time. He said you can stop the medication and was happy to tell him i stopped it the day i started the keto lifestyle. Had a bit of a conversation with him about low carb/keto in general and why Type2 weren't steered in that direction. He just said nutritional advice is pretty much set in stone and they can't (except for cetain circumstances) offer any other guidance but the official guidance from up high. It's crazy!

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I've been drinking these for lunch the past couple of weeks. Essentially slim fast but tastes OK and keeps me feeling full between 12pm and 5pm at work. Certainly healthier than the stodge I normally have for lunch from the canteen https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/chilled-vegan/huel-chocolate-flavour-ready-to-drink-complete-meal-500ml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17628 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 In an odd way, that's probably the most processed food you could buy, which begs the question whether food being processed is always a bad thing. But 3 quid a bottle, 600 calories, and less texture than baby food, I'll pass I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Lad at work used to be on that shit and his fart were fucking rancid. He's a brexiteer from Billingham that thinks we should shoot migrants at the channel tunnel. He'd fit in well on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one and only time I've swam in the lake district (Grasmere) I was 18 and I came out with leeches on me, like that scene from stand by me. So no thanks. At least a couple of people died last week though, one on Brothers water, where we were very close to,, and one in Crummock water. More than 10 in lakes nationally I believe. Water is warm on the surface but can still chill you underneath, not a great combination if you're not a great swimmer (I'm not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17628 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 BTW, was a fantastic holiday, thanks for asking. The lakes are insanely busy and expensive now though. Walking between Howtown and Patterdale, we had to stop at a weird cafe I knew about,ainly because we were running out of water. 4 adults, 4 kids, each got a soft drink and/or bag of crisps each, bill came to £58. No cash on us but the owner took it on trust to let us do a bank transfer when we got reception later, which we did. Still, 2.50 for a snickers is a bit of a piss take. Just the way things are from now on I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the other kid that drowned in Loch Lomond and the further two that drowned in the Clyde, all in the last week or so. On a lighter note theres a local kid here about 8yo in hospital looking at getting serious skin grafts after paddling in a river and brushing up against some hogweed.

thebrokendoll 7085 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 on the north of islay by ardnave which is basically 2 houses and a farm. took the dogs for a walk and spotted what looked like a dead sheep on its back all four legs pointed skywards with 2 lambs stood nearby. went to investigate and the sheep was alive but very distressed, shitting and pissing itself. abandoned the dog walk and went to the farm and told the farmer what we'd found and explained where roughly it was and off he went zooming off on his quad bike. he came back an hour or so late really pleased as he reckoned it would've died within an hour it was that bloated with gas. anyway, he told us we could drive through his farmyard, go through several gates, follow the little map he drew us and park up on the headland where nobody else his access to. we now have our private beach, not a person, building or vehicle to be seen for miles. view from a sidedoor..... 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a spirits drinker at all and whisky in particular, instant heartburn. on a more positive note, for company yesterday evening we had oystercatchers, ringed plovers and choughs. swimming just offshore we had a group of about 5 seals and could clearly see the fins of 3 dolphin. and then just before it started getting dark a golden eagle being mobbed by gulls. the Eagle started flying back towards where we're parked up and was suddenly joined by its mate! fucking tremendous! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t see Craig David (or Kes) though. This was about 25 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapped and Brewery Tap are all right. Whitelock off the main street is a real old pub. What Newcastle equivalent are you after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
