The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

I thought you were already on 2 diets … mainly because you don’t get enough food on 1. Ha!

They had a great sense of humour back then.

you creeping swedish fuck

and here i was admiring that typically andy-like comeback. (nothing personal fredrik)

Hang on a mother f#%king second!!!!!
I was reading this quite happily until I came across:

“and the last time I had a week of eating home cooked, healthy meals was probably when I was a kid”

What the!!!????
You’re in trouble now Rob – what about all the careful cooking, that I’ve been doing for the last 2 AND A HALF YEARS!!!!!! What do you call that????? PPPffffff (scoffing / disgusted noise….) Thats the last home cooked meal you’ll ever get out of me……

is your next comment going to show you as a tough, take no shit man or a wimpy, under the thumb, squeaky mouse?

SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEAK
[And don’t pretend you’re any different Andy!]

First of all, can I say how very, very happy I am that Jilly has posted a comment on my blog. Sure, it is abit worrying that [1] I am being slagged off in it and [2] she has a tone very similar to that of Andy … but beggars can’t be choosers.

OK … OK … it is true that Jill has been keeping me fed with delicious food for the past 2 and a half years [well, excluding the first 4 months of our relationship where I cooked everything but in the interests of keeping my testicles intact, I don’t think I’ll mention that] but I am HOPING she is just taking the piss and knows what I was really talking about.

Mind you why should I care about her threat of no more home cooked food … we get great stuff delivered to us each and every day now! Then again, if I want to have a nice cosy sleep again, maybe I should just eat humble pie and try and get back into the ‘family bed’ … afterall, my fridge – while brilliant – is abit small for a nice, deep nap.

But wait … Singapore is a bloody tropical country and maybe sleeping in a miniscule fridge/freezer would be more enjoyable than the hot sticky air of a traditional Singaporean bedroom.

Oooooh it’s so difficult being me …

Love you Jill … and well done to Lauren, Andy and Fred for attempting to stir up the trouble. Lets see if Jill has taken your side or mine in this debate.

[Do we really need to guess? You lot are bound to win. Bastards!]

This from a man who pays out more alimony to more women, than Rod bloody Stewart!

[Now that … dear Andy … is a proper comeback]

Smartarse … but well done, you’re learning! 🙂

You better mean me Fred …

Rob … I know I am being thick, but what the hell do you mean by this comment?

Are you on drugs or – as is more likely – just taking the piss out of me because of Jill’s venomous [but nice really] comment?

(in response to andy’s pussywhipped comment..!)

Ahhhhhhhh ….

And you know what having chubby fingers means don’t you Marcus …

size isn’t everything Campbell

I’m going to ignore all the above comments because I think the post above says something quite important. I agree with it 100% and seem to bang about it all the time. Well said.
AND cooking is so easy. You can have a bunch of fresh ingredients and make a great meal in 20 minutes, nay, ten. It’s that simple.
The UK Lurpak work that’s running at the moment reflects a lot of this.
Maybe one day we’ll have a gymn that says you can cycle there, which means less time training there, and more time relaxing in the sauna.

HURRAH for NP and a decent comment [for once!]

I find it astounding we live in a society that treats health and excercise as ‘planned time’ as opposed to just incorporating it in daily life. I appreciate what a hypocrite this makes me sound given my above post – but I intend to get back in control. Honest.

I think I told you some research we did where we tracked what people bought at supermarkets and then what was left in their fridge after a week. While lots of people bought ‘healthy items’ at the beggining of the week … they tended to be the items left in the fridge because when push-came-to-shove, they couldn’t be arsed cooking with them and went with easier and less healthy alternatives.

Good intentions are one thing … but they don’t change your World unless you act upon them!

Don’t take Andy’s side Age … jeez, the guys head is big enough. [But not as big as his tum!]

Now if I was still running “it could get worse” I would have probably started a cooking show on youtube. Thank god it’s over.

The words ‘scratch’ and ‘pain’ and ‘arse’ should NEVER be in a sentence to do with cooking.

When I was younger and was upset at my Mum [probably for not letting me play after 9pm – well it was Nottingham] I’d nip down to ASDA and buy a tin of Heinz Spaghetti Bolognaise. Given she was [still is actually] Italian, it was about as insulting as you could get.

I didn’t lose weight previously because [1] I am constantly on a plane travelling and as such [2] constantly falling victim to this sort of thing. [http://robcampbell.wordpress.com/2006/10/18/big-bad-burger-again/]

For goodness in a hurry I recommend Birds Eye Microwave steam vegetable packs.

Steaming keeps more goodness and they taste amazing.

If I find myself in the unfortunate situation where I am conversing with someone who does not pick up on my – or contribute there own – reference to any Simpsons episode, the conversation is deaded. I strongly believe these people are just.. well… lower than me.

I’ve just eaten a chocolate bar called “Wunderbar”. It promised “a peanut butter caramel experience” and delivered.

I love you lot … I love the madness of it all and you’ll know why in about 5 mins when I post a ‘NEWSFLASH’.

I can sense you’re going to be rubbing your hands in glee very, VERY soon.

YAY! I’ve been wondering what you’ve been up too!

tut yer bloody self Mortimer.

Age – The Simpsons things with me extend to Peep Show, The Fast Show & assorted Terry Pratchett references. Oh, and Bill Bailey.

Ace Will.

Me its Simpsons, Family Guy and sometimes South Park. The odd Red Dwarf things might appear as well…

On its way Marcus

Peep Show rocks … absolutely rocks … but SPINAL TAP for me is the most quote-worthy of them all, even if I fucking hate people who quote comedy sketches in general conversation. [Current company excluded. Obviously]

NP: I am obviously a pathetic reader and I apologise totally for my completely misguided, inaccurate comment. But saying that, art and science is not the sole ownership of the geek – they just get the greatest attention because their ‘output’ tends to be acknowledged by society more than the person who spends 23.5 hours aday playing Everquest.

And Rob M … thank you from protecting me from the evil Marcus and his pimp-pushing ways.

Marcus, it’s only been 2 days but I miss you and your blog hugely. Really do … feels abit empty. Thank God NP is back [and Rob M, Age, Lauren etc never went away] or I’d be prozac laden.

Talking of laden, Jill’s cousin has a friend called Ben Laden. The poor kid gets the piss taken out of him more than any other living soul.

Quote or fact Marcus … quote or fact!

are you in rio too marcus?
