Burning calabrese I think I'm burning calabrese I really think so - 10 / 10 thread

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.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

FK, we had gnocchi with chestnut mushrooms and spinach followed by homegrown rhubarb & orange cake with custard.

Tomorrow will be homegrown herb salad and something.

Sorry Pointy I forgot you did titles too and now it sounds like I am taking sides.

I do like this one, but I can;t wait for Tenpole Tudor next

I might wear a floppy shirt and velvet knickerbockers 'specially.

FrayedKnot · 14/05/2009 22:14

Oh...just what I am wearing now FK !

I HAVE to get through a mountain of work so I am consuming high calorie carb laden junk, and drinking wholly inappropriate rubbish in the hope that I can stay up all night and finish my work.

Apple pie,
magnum temptations x2,
Flake,
pizza,

strong coffee,

So I am switching off the computer and saying goodnight.

That has got to be the best title so far! Who thought of that one?
I won't get that song out of my head all night now...

pointydog · 14/05/2009 22:28

I hates it when a ten posts after me.

SuperBunny · 14/05/2009 22:31

Sorry pointy - I cross posted.

Why am I the only person who doesn't know this song. I watch the youtube link and I have never heard it before.

pointydog · 14/05/2009 22:36

how old are you, bunny? it was a very big song at the time. All very snigger-inducing due to wanking theme

SuperBunny · 14/05/2009 22:38

I'm old enough to know it, I think - 31.

Guadalupe · 14/05/2009 22:46

Phew, SB, really hope it all goes smoothly. I thought you were younger than me btw.

I am watching men have penis enlargements. It is a bit gruesome.

pointydog · 14/05/2009 22:54

31? I don't think you are

SuperBunny · 15/05/2009 03:31

No, I'm old! I feel like I am about 75.

TheMitsubishiWarrioress · 15/05/2009 06:47

No...SB, you are NOT old

I am 40 this year and I am NOT old so you are wee young thing...

Must listen to title song again..I NEVER got that reference pointy. I was sooooo naive.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 15/05/2009 07:47

I didn't get the wanking reference until someone told me a few years ago, if they hadn't told me I'd still be none the wiser.

Tea tonight will be Spanish omelette with asparagus and salad, followed by melon.

We had another bastard avocado last night. It looked and felt good, then when it was cut open it was as hard a fecking nails.

the wanking thing is urban legend afaik
the writer occasionally agreed it is true but think he found it amusing - originally when asked he said it didn't really mean anything, it just came into his head when he wrote the song
all that captain pugwash / master bates /seaman staines stuff is urban legend also
