I used to frequent a pub in central London after work and was always amazed at the memory of the older gentleman behind the bar. Place was always rammed and no matter how large the first round, he'd always ask "Same again?" when ordering again. (And he wasn't looking it up on the till either!)...

Yep, used to be be a skill / part of the job for the bar staff to keep tabs on who's next. Dislike pubs where the staff take no responsibility, in reality know and either serve who's nearest them or push it onto the customers to sort out and generally good manners and courtesy are less prevalent...

Yep, maybe borrow the AI plug in Amazon use for product reviews 👍

Apparently, experts say it's impossible to identify a psychopath by their appearance... Au contraire 😁

Unfortunately, prescribing and popping a pill (not just for cholestorol) has all too often become the quick and easy fix* (also see antibiotics, antidepressents, etc) due to a lack of time / support / investment in dealing with the numerous underlying causes :-( * I'm not saying they don't have...

Example Weegie 1. Soap Dodger Noun, as in: "Soap dodging Weegie b******!" :)

I hope the information shared didn't come across as preachy, wasn't meant that way, more general information on healthy eating, sustainability and that everyone is different and you need to find a way that works for you as an individual. The advice given on how to lose weight by experts and...

Also worth mentioning that high cholesterol in itself is not necessarily a big issue. My cholesterol was very high 10 years ago and changes to diet and exercise has reduced it significantly, but still a little higher than ideal. But, my Dr explained that in isolation, it increased the risk of...

Great example of the benefit of healthy fats in your diet (also being discussed on the weight loss drugs thread). The demonising of high fat diets for decades in favour of a low fat (and often high sugar) approach is now being shown as a major problem. Your body needs healthy fats to work...

The book I mentioned in post #52 talks to this in detail. The Dr who wrote the book has been treating patients for obesity through surgical procedures for many years and a very high level summary of his view is that in effect starving your body for weeks or months will result in a physical...

I had a similar thought yesterday, like watching a car crash in slow motion, drawn in, unable to look away, then wishing I hadn't seen all the gory detail when all I wanted to know was, is Danny okay? 😳

I hope you're not a medical professional... sharing that information... on this thread 😉

And, we're really not taking this climiate crisis thing seriously as a species are we :oops:

I was excited there for a moment...

To lose weight it is about creating a calorie deficit. Personally, exercising at the same time helps, although this can in itslef make you hungrier. The key is ensuring the food you are eating minimises blood sugar spikes i.e. sufficient protein, fibre, etc which reduces hunger pangs while you...

They definitely needed something as filler !

Love this programme and a have been a huge fan of Bob Mortimer for many years. Caught up on the latest series last week and have really enjoyed it, but felt last nights episode was the poorest by a long way. The weather seemed to dampen the first day, Bob seemed to lose interest in the fishing...

I think you should see the positive and count yourself very lucky that the response was so succinct 😜

Always liked something about Nigella 🤔

Which would suggest it is a cynical marketing exercise by Kelloggs...
