Bring on the pies!

[vernon]

Did anyone see Top Gear last night? Steven Fry's six stone weight loss left him looking more than a little rough. I had similar aspirations for weight loss until last night. Now I'm happy to settle for whatever pies cross my path.

Facially, too much weight loss can leave a bloke looking gaunt and older in comparison with how you remember them. I had this impression of a friend who had lost 5 stone in about 6 months, going down to just over 10 stone. Having not seen him for a while, the difference was stark. A more filled-out face certainly looks younger IMO.

I think any weight loss should be linked to a training regime. Just not eating as much and losing weight will waste the body, surely, whereas training more with leave you toned?

Makes sense. How do you exercise your face?

Do this or just chew a wasp!

He looked bloody awful. I was watching with a friend who said "aids or cancer"?

I thought he looked greyer, certainly (always hard to tell on a B/W telly)

Mr Pig, my Mum had a book at home, the sort of pamphlet that came with women's magazines in the thirties, and it had facial exercises to prevent double chins - stuff like pushing your lower jaw back and forth or opening and closing you mouth.

Then it gave you all sorts of dubious recipes for beauty creams using chemicals you probably can't buy any more!

Well he might have. Freddy Mercury's aids was only confirmed about three-hours before he died.

There may have been a clue in his keen backing of the "Grinder" application for his japs Iphone...

Ahhh bless!

Just like you, I talk too much.

Ahhh bless!

I find it's perfectly ok, the only time it's a problem is those home decor shows where they unveil three apparently clashing cans or paint, but they all look the same shade of grey to me.

And when I go to my Mum's I'm always surprised by things like the colours of wallpaper in soaps and stuff...

Or the colour of Dale Winton!

That too!

I have no idea what that means, thankfully ;0)

For about five years I was without a TV at all, through choice. I'm still not convinced it's worth having. Almost everything that I found to do when I had no TV was better than watching TV.
