"We demand the finest vegetables available to humanity. We want them here, and we want them now." - 10 / 10 club - all welcome

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

are you talking about the thread title or my name?

Boco - Quentin Blake is on radio 4 in a bit if you haven't got it on

Guadalupe - sort of exotic and clumpy at the same time - non?

Am with you 100x, want to go on strike today, fed up of the incredible non-sleeping baby and all the boring housework.

F&V not so good either boo!

meant the thread title - didn't want to upset you by saying it was surreal.

You are not thick I am consistently vague.

I miss Fran - do you think she is with hc?

oh, I see, well, I'm not upset

I think Franny and HC are A Bit Hungover

Oh no, i missed quentin Blake - did you hear it Mrs Loupe? What did he say?

I am feeling decidedly delicate internally. I think it was the nettle ale. I am not used to such things these days. Am restoring myself with a plate of salad and seeds (tomato, yellow pepper, cucumber and fennel).

I too had my doubts about Guadaloupe, even though I thought it was a melon.

100x, I hope it is going well. I think your ds2 and mine would get on splendidly.

ok just had an email from someone else suggesting dinner and a romantic evening sometime soon how many nano seconds should i give it before i snap his hand off?

about 3..I said that sounds lovely

zippi you're good at this.

I'm crap i know nothing about this one except the profile..he is one of the ones i randomly emailed yesterday...now he says dinner in the west end and on somehwere? or he will come and see me?

what do is ay

he lives in camden

Gulp. Don't ask me. I'm hopeless.

does 'romantic' mean he want to woo you or wants to make you feel so 'romantic' (ie buy you a nice desert and a rose) that all your clothes fall off?

How about ''All fruit bright and beautiful, all peaches great and small'' for a thread title?

Balloons!

fruit does not rhyme with things

god knows..one of the languages he speaks is arabic...he is tall and fairish

it doesn't need to rhyme just scan. And it does. It could easily be ''all beans bright and beautiful'' if that's any better. (things and beans being a sort of half rhyme...)

I mean, ''All peaches great and small'' is good, no?

Do you want a scrap?

and in what way does nectarines rhyme with red balloons eh? eh??

(although I did snigger when I saw it)

all peachers great and small is good

depends on your diction

at least it has the same assonance

nectarines, nectarines, nectarines...
