I was in a restaurant yesterday for some breakfast. The entire place was empty with about 25 tables. Then soon after I ordered from the menu a woman walked in and sat facing me at the very next table. The whole place was empty yet she walked from the door over to the table right next to mine. None of the other tables were good enough for her, up at the window, the other side of the room, in the middle. No, she had to sit facing me at the next table so I would have to look at her every time I glanced up from my breakfast. I moved.

Wasn't the wife/girlfriend was it??:D

Swimming? Anytime I've lost weight honestly it's like 70% diet. Obviously moving is important too, even just a walk for an hour in the evenings. Since about xmas I've dropped 2 sizes because I lost my appetite/was a bit sick. Don't think there's any quick fixes. Input < output

I'm not going back to her again, she basically called me an alcoholic for having two lite beers a couple of nights. Plus she looks like washed up sh*t so it should be her looking to me for advice. People get a certificate and think they can power trip others.

Getting older bothers me a lot. At the end of this month I'll be the far side of 26. We have a girl on work experience one day a week, she's still In college so quite young. She told me today I looked too young to be manager. She was horrified when I told her I had a real degree, an engagement and x amount of experience before I became manager. "But how? You're so young!" How old do you think I am? "Mm 20, 21?"

Now I assume she was being generous or being a lick but my last client this evening started telling me how amazing my skin is , and it's the perks of being young. I say I'm not that young, and she says "you're about what? 21?" So twice in one day I get mistaken for being young.

And God be with the days when people would say "ah youre still Young" when you'd tell them your real age. Now it's "God you don't look 26"

Old is when you're tucking your nipples between your toes and saying 'back in my day blah blah.'

Old at 26, mwahaaaahaaaaaa, i'd laugh harder but I may pee involuntary.

There's something about 26/27 though. Only a couple of years ago for me, but that's when I started freaking out about getting old too.

I think it's because I still felt exactly the same as I had at college, but I suddenly started noticing that people of college age looked young to me. I was something different all of a sudden - a grown up.

I'm 20 yr older, been told I don't look it, and definitely don't act it, growing old disgracefully, (but not embarrassingly):rolleyes:

I'm in my 30s and got asked for ID last summer because I had no make up on and was wearing a hoody and tracksuit pants. I never mentally got past the age of about 19. When I start to really age it will be tragic.

I was in a pub towards the end of last year, went up and ordered a drink. The barman asked "how old are you?" I said 28, he looked again and said he thought I was 18. I've been ridiculed too by some older than me for saying I felt old, due to my upcoming 10 year secondary school reunion.

I've lost nearly 25kg in just over a year just through changes to my diet. I cannot exercise at all as I can't really walk properly and haven't exercised in nearly 2 years.
You're better off starting with changing your diet.

I'm down to 1600 cals a day and walk and started Kettlebells. I have a very good diet but the odd time I make oven chips have low fat crisps or a mini chocolate bar. I stopped white bread, coke and coffee and I drink low fat milk eat veg dishes or healthy eating options.

According to her it raises the blood sugar and causes weight gain around the middle. Basically when I got my degree it had Thanks To Starbucks written on it. When I study again I'll probably be back to the cup being moulded to my little hand.

Sure it's been done but the appending of the word "Gate" to any mildly controversial event is pretty irritating. Actually its extremely irritating!

I eagerly await an incident involving an actual gate and the ensuing "Gategate" headlines in the tabloids

I'm starting a veggie version of Atkins next week. I did the meat one about 11 years ago and dropped 6 stone in 6 months. It's not a diet I could do for more than a year, max, but it's a great way of shedding a lot of weight fast and I was never hungry on it. I've got a chronic illness that often makes exercise difficult or impossible so I'm hoping it'll give me the kick start I need.:)

There was a lot to lose. I'd had loads of surgery and had been immobile for a long time, of course comfort eating didn't help. I remember taking my wedding ring to be resized after I'd lost the weight and the jewellers were shocked at how much smaller my fingers were compared to the size of the ring.:o

The story in the news about that man who snatched that child in cullahill, and only for Her brother, she escaped. Scumbag was out on bail when he was accused of doing it. A known sex offender on bail for another crime. And people locked up for not paying their tv licences

What in the actual scuttery brought all that on? I'd be inclined to tell her I'm not particularly interested in whatever psychotic episode she's having, that'll be potato alcohol for you. I speak French to my wife, Italian to visiting dignitaries, German to the chap who maintains the cars and Russian to the dog. :cool:

I don't know what brought it on. She arrived 15 minutes late, I took her to the treatment room and she asked who was doing her treatment, so I explain I am, introduce myself and she started freaking out. Flailing her arms around, on the verge of tears, she asked me if I was irish, I said I was and she started with the arms again, speaking in a language I couldn't understand (now I know it was russian". She basically told me her face was precious and that I wasn't qualified to work on it (I've done makeup for tv3, I do some well known models, her ugly mush was way down my list of achievements). I applied eye patches to protect the skin and she started shouting at me that I wasn't listening to her. She had applied oil all over where I had to tint (so the tint wasn't going to take properly), she yelled at me some more to wipe it more, told me she wanted Grey and black on her eyebrows, wanted me to draw in the eyebrow with tint, and leave tint on the top of her eyelid so it would look like eyeliner.

I took the tint off her eyelashes and as soon as I done that she jumped out of the chair and ran to a mirror and started freaking out, the tint wasn't dark enough (she didn't give it time to develop) calling me "stupid ****ing irish", "you look like a ****ing prostitute", and when she got to reception she was roaring in russian. She eventually left, but my russian has been upset all day. She won't tell me what she was saying but it was a horrible atmosphere all day. My Russian kept giving me hugs, saying she was so sorry she was so horrible, then saying she didn't want to talk to me about it, she wasn't herself all day, I'm telling her cheer up and She said she was just frustrated, and that she was "so glad" that the lady said whatever she said in Russian and not in english. She said she was horribly racist and seriously offensive. But whatever it was, it was bad enough to get to another member of staff for the entire day.

The Russian was saying "you do great job, you should not listen to verbal assault at your work". I can only imagine what she was saying, if she told me in English I looked like a prostitute

And I don't even.

To be completely honest she sounds very unstable so I wouldn't even think about what she said. She should have been escorted out of the building.

When people (especially Irish people) use "the Irish" as a plural noun instead of as an adjective.

E.g. "the Irish don't X", or "the Irish are too Y"

It's a bit like the term "the gays", or "the blacks".

There's nothing strictly wrong with it, but there can be a whiff of disdain in it.

On the contrary, research indicates it may reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Also may be an appetite suppressant and looks like it reduces the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's.

Coffee is ridonculously awesome.

I love coffee. Proper coffee. I had to get my teeth whitened due to staining from the sheer amount I drank. I'm so down after today I can't even post music. I'm going to follow my own goals in future and ignore the begrudgers.

Trivial annoyance for the day, queuing for the self service checkouts in Tesco, dumb fooks in front of me had to be pointed to the free ones by a staff member. What the fcuk are you doing morons!?

What really grinds my gears is people with a trolley full of crap going to the self checkout. I choose these machines because I want to exit quickly; I do NOT want to be stuck behind you while you scan the first of 50 fúcking items and stand there thoughtlessly comprehending the machine's reaction. :mad:

I logged on here this morning to lodge a robust defence of Coffee, but your words will suffice.
However, I suspect Lexie was referring to the effect coffee can have on the look of your skin?
Either way, coffee is just fantabulous....provided you dont have it after 4pm. Then you will be pacing the corridors all night instead of catching Zzzzsss.

Coffee is great, but replace 1 cup of coffee you normally drink a day with a pint of water. That's my tip.

My TA. My daughter puked on me last night. Also the couch, a cup, a cushion, a blanket, herself and the floor. She keeps reminding me this morning that it was 'purple puke daddy'.

Shes been under the weather the past few days with a temperature. Been sitting on the couch mostly. But as soon as she puked she was milling around the place like there was nothing ever wrong with her, must have been a relief for her.
She seems much better today and has had a small bit to eat. So progress.
