A new fitness test for fishermen limits them to a BMI of 35. A Norfolk fisherman who's been doing the job for over 20 years needs to lose 5 stone to continue fishing. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hope it doesn't give Betfair ideas about whose accounts to close next. :lol:

Truck drivers would be a thing of the past if they did BMI tests on them.

Overweight fishermen are safe as long as they stay in the centre of the boat. Or better still, just keep their lunch in the centre. :lol:

While cheese is generally considered a comfort food, it is actually one of the worst foods to eat before bed.

Strong or aged cheese, as well as preserved meats such as bacon, ham and pepperoni, contains naturally high levels of the amino acid, tyramine, which make us feel alert. Tyramine causes the adrenal gland to release the ‘fight or flight’ hormone, which increases alertness for a number of hours.


It's a bit of a bummer when you fancy a bit of cheese, but never mind. Breakfast is in half an hour if you subtract sleep time. :D

I think Philomena Cunk and her BBC show could be right up your alley ;)

If you're unsure you can go to YT and type in "Philomena King Arthur"

Apparently there is a woman in my region that trades football. I have emailed her a marriage proposal.

I was beginning to wonder if there was a poltergeist in my PC with bizarre numbers appearing in my history list when I realised I was using the same history list as a servant running in the background. :)

I had a really nice meal at a small bohemian Southern Indian restaurant, but the highlight for me was the unisex toilet. Two hand-washing sinks but just one cubical, no urinals obviously.

It felt quite surreal coming out of a toilet cubical and finding a nice-looking blonde bird waiting to enter. I would have had my dick hanging out if I knew she was there. And how impressed was she, entering the cubical and seeing I put the toilet seat down for the next person? :lol:

Could not disagree with you more. Why destroy a historical artifact? Are you IS in disguise?
That chair represents the destruction of the feudal system and it's presence fortifies our democratic monarchical culture.
Cromwell sidelined the monarchy but it's still relevent. The alternative? Bush Sr, Bush Jr, Trump!

You're taking things too seriously again greenmark, I was talking metaphorically.

If Britain had a dimwit of Trump's calibre he would be welcome to run for presidency. He just wouldn't get elected.

OK. Sorry. Beer garden. Therefore latitude is required. Have a beer and packet of cheese and onion on me. (Are there other pub snacks I've been missing out on?)
