    Just came across this

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Currently managing Australia for the money and my own team I founded for the challenge. Won't give out the name of my team, name is a little dirty :P Have already gotten my team promoted twice from Regional Division 2 to Conference North and have won a Cup with the team. Currently worth €2 million :D

    Iona institute makes my skin crawl. Gays are experimenting with children now when they try to raise them.

    Loving the new Paramore tracks debuting every night. Frotting at the mouth at some of them, they're that good!

    I think you mean frothing, yes? Otherwise...
    frotting

    Rubbing one's crotch against unexpecting people, furniture or walls. A favourite of sex-starved Japanese businessmen on the sub-way.

    I'd have said most brains of most people are 70-75% sawdust and/or bullsh*t, tbh. :p

    Random! You learn something new everyday I suppose. Like today I was watching old episodes of the IT Crowd and learned that a soldering iron is actually a real thing! :eek: I always thought it was just some random made up words:confused:



    Obviously I never did metalwork or the like.:D

    Well Mr. Soldering_Iorn, since you brought it up as H2O, rather than pure water content to weight ratio, I am due to tell you that molecule wise the human brain is ≈99% H2O, the rest 1% is DNA molecules. Granted DNA molecules are huge in volume compared to water molecules, hence the weight to water ratio 75%

    But what about your nerves? Electrical impulses can't travel on water and DNA, they need set connections of neurons made of proteins and many other molecules -DNA being only found within their nucleus. DNA is a blueprint or construction guide for the cell, but not a building material to make it.
    That's why I find it hard to believe your brain is 99% water and the remaining part is just DNA.

    5 years ago I saw a discusting picture of myself - over weight and in poor fitness. So took things serious and lost almost 4 stone. Did 2 marathons and have a huge collection of medals from races.

    Over the past 18 months I have managed to put on 1.5stone and saw a not so nice picture of myself with a double chin!

    So the focus is now back on with a 5km race tomorrow. And will post here weekly on how it's going.... Just to keep me on track. The goal is to loose 1 stone by October but would be delighted to loose the other .5 with it.

    Current weight: 93kg
    Current Bmi:29 (normal is 25)

    BMI is absolute and utter bollox, seeing as its a two dimensional calculation applied to a 3D figure, and also the "normal" range (20-25) was determined during an era of what is now accepted to be mass malnutrition.

    It only came back to popularity due to thrashy womens magazines in the last decade.

    I really, really wouldn't focus on it.
