I think Josh takes the cake on this 1 :D



I've gained a stone since I started driving but what makes it worse is that all the fat seems to gather and give you beer belly! not that i have a beer belly *cough* I think we should all come together in boycotting drive throughs and encourage more excercise.


I'm having a premonition, oh wait, the above aint going to happen is it :(

I've got an idea! We should have a meet at a gym and while we are there we can get fit at the same time! The Virgin gym in Sheffield has a great big car park...anyone interested? heh heh!

yeah but we will all end up going to the McDonalds drive through when we leave the gym. It's a viscious circle

Well I lost quite a lot of weight having to walk around and cycle a lot at a hilly university (maybe 2 or 3 st).... Dunno how much of that I've put back on but it's currently hovering around 13st even after xmas.. can't say I was a light lad even after surviving multiple drunken rambles up Bangor's cardiac hill, but I wouldn't ditch the car even for issues of health. If I can walk to the shops, I do (even to work in the morning), but there's things I can't do without it. Working at the bar at night requires dispatching a 10 mile each way trip over maybe 50 metres of repetitive elevation in less than 15 minutes, in the cold and dark on busy A roads. Last time I did it on my bike, it took an hour (in a hurry!) and almost killed me thru a combination of exertion, temperature, smog and fast traffic.

Down with bicycles! At least until summer comes and the 2-window Polo becomes unbearably hot again.
