This exercise lark is insane
You know that point where you work yourself to the point you feel sick? I think perhaps that’s where I should have stopped at the gym at lunchtime. This is not a good way to impress the fit ladies in their skin-tight leotards. Although, fortunately, they do seem to wipe clean fairly easily.
Thank you for small blessings. At least I don’t need to worry about other people’s dry cleaning.
However, there is one plus side to all this working out (other than getting to see women sweating and panting without having to pay them or get them drunk first) – I’m sleeping rather well. Or at least, I’m sleeping deeply, because I’m knackered.
Unfortunately, this is coupled with waking up every time I roll over due to the agonising pain in my torn muscles.
Ow.
Mind you, I’m running on a profit now. Some muppet left their quid deposit in the locker so I pinched it. Bwahahaha! Now watch me do the same next week.
Film reviews from on high
I just got detroit Rock City back off Paul at work (recommended, by the way – very funny film) and thought I’d have a quick shufty on the net for reviews. Specific kinds of reviews. You see, it’s somewhat critical of organised religion (in particular one kid’s domineering bible-bashing mother), so I was curious to see how some of the christian web sites responded to it.
Thing is, most of the sites are awful. One didn’t have it, one required subscription, one had no search facility and another was blocked by our work’s SurfControl software for hosting inappropriate content.
So it looks like the devil does have all the best tunes. And film reviews.
Though it’s nice to see Layer Cake (a film I really enjoyed) being rated “-4 Abhorrent” on one site. Frankly, I think I’ll return to that site more often and keep my eyes out for all the ones they slate.
Mystery recipe
I bought some 6-packs of Virgin Cola the other day (buy one get one free – my usual means of food purchasing). “Great New Taste” is blares on the side.
And you know what?
Yep. It tastes exactly the ******* same as it ever did. Like Coke. They all taste like Coke. Except Diet Coke. That tastes like hamster wee.
World changed forever
Oh ****. The Other Chris, who posted in my comments a while ago, was right. Maynards seem to have bought out Lion and re-launched Midget Gems and Sports Mixture… and they’ve taken the liquorice ones out, replacing them with blackcurrant.
I see a letter of complaint coming on. I mean, what’s the ******* point? Midget Gems have sold by the shiteload for over 80 years. If anyone wants blackcurrant, they can **** off and buy Wine Gums.
My world will now never be complete as my liquorice Midget Gems have been taken from me. Wo is me.
Separated at birth
Doesn’t Malcolm Glazer look like Mortiis with a beard? Or that dwarf from Lord of the Rings? Or a rich, spoilt **** with stupid, smug little grin?
More food secrets
Yeah, OK. I’m bored and only have half an hour before hometime. So I was reading the ingredients list on my shiny silver packet of Orbit Professional White Peppermint Sugarfree Gum With BI-WHITE®. It “whitens teeth”, presumably courtesy of this BI-WHITE® stuff.
A quick look at the ingredients list reveals that their Corporate Secrets department have ****** up:
“Sodium Bicarbonate 0.1% (Bi-White)”
So, basically, it’s got baking soda in. Which apparently now goes under the name BI-WHITE®. I’ll look for it on the shelves.
This is about something else, namely your question about the Pyramid in Stockport. I’ve posted a reply, but in case you don’t catch it, here it is again:
I’m not sure if anyone ‘owned’ it as such. It was built in 1992 but was empty for several years before the Co-op took it on. There is more info about the Valley of the Kings project here.
There is also a cracking pic of it under construction.
Ahh the big blue pyramid.. ******* pain in the ass to work in apparently. Because of it’s shape nothing fits properly.. A mate of mine worked in there during the construction and he said it was a pain as well from an installation point of view (pipework & cabling), you can’t put stuff where you normally put stuff because the walls slope.
It was a bit of a white elephant until the Coop moved in.
SFG
****, ya mean Ive been drinking JD and hamster wee all this time, to keep slim?
It’s worked, hasn’t it? It’s well known that hamsters are never diabetic so don’t pass excess sugar in their urine. Coke just colour it brown with elk spit.
Good news on the exercise front:

Malcolm Glazer is merely Channel Four’s John McRirick without the deerstalker.*
Pepsi and Coke taste different, however in each case if the sugar doesn’t cause newly whitened teeth to rot, the phosphoric acid will. **
* May not be true.
** Scary fact.
Chris – I refer you to the comment I made yesterday when Caz posted the same link…
It does depend on what you’re after out of the gym. Though 6 minutes a week does appeal. One slight problem with the study… all the people were *capable* of cycling 18 miles before they started on the training. I however, am not!
