Rant Squash.

Papers please, papers.

So, our diets aren't massively different (though you guys drink a lot - @Moriath at 45 units and an additional 3,104 calories / week before any weekend drinking is taken into account).

I don't do the takeaway thing that often - maybe every three weeks. Mainly because whilst it tastes nice I don't always feel great afterwards - 'cause takeaway food tends to be on the stodgy shite side of the equation - but also because good freshly cooked food tastes nicer and my missus' is a good cook so I don't have to be lazy and go for it

But, and just because people expect me to be somewhat judgemental, this:

Is just laziness tbh. In the knowledge that we don't live in our natural evolved environment we know full well that we have to take care of our bodies in other ways or they'll fall into ruin. The result of inaction is that we'll A) be a drain on the NHS and B) our later years will be pain filled and hugely limited. Maybe we can watch telly whilst pissing ourselves and leaning hard on our families to take care of us, when they could be out enjoying themselves like we did?

Not looking after your body is simply mean


Edit: And before people start whining at me for moralising - it wasn't me who brought this subject up, remember...

But doesn't @Moriath have a fucked up back which would limit exercise somewhat hence not laziness?

I walk every day with my knobhead dogs, a brisk quite tough 2 mile ish walk. That's it though.

I shit you not. I saw a 70 year old woman at the top of Snowdon at 10:30am last Sunday. She had a walker like this and was obviously struggling. I asked her if she enjoyed her train ride and she gave me what for - she'd started her ascent from Llanberis at 6am.

I could have kissed her*.









*but for the beard.










*and the fact that she moved away as I started to wank.

I just sent a minion off to get some stuff from the supermarket for the kitchen at work. I also told him to buy a litre of Ribena. I will drink the lot today in honour of this thread.

I fully approve of your futile self-harming counterproductive action in the name of human freedom.

I salute you sir!

It isn't self harming you gigantic wallet bothering ram raider, it's beauty at it's highest level and he is filling his body with delicious natural things and he will be able to stop many robberies and bad things because of it.

Wierd that you've just added your disagree about zucchini being an americanism, when you've been demonstrated to be clearly wrong - by the bleeding dictionary @fettoken.

 

[fettoken]

Not in the sense that you brought it out to be, no. I interpret it differently.

You can "interpret" it however you like, but it IS an Americanism. Period.

The word Zucchini itself or the Plant in particular?

 

[Scouse]

The word Zucchini itself or the Plant in particular?

How can a plant be an americanism?

An Americanism is a word picked up and used by Americans where a perfectly good word already exists in the English language. In this case Zucchini is an Americanism - because it's a word used by Americans to describe what is actually already named a Courgette in English.

As has already been explained clearly and extensively...

 

[Raven]

Its a veggie dildo as far as I am concerned. It tastes too rancid to be considered food.

Actually i did a lot of walking on my holiday. But since then my back pain has returned which limits it again. However walking along a beach or over some interesting location is much more agreeable than the streets of bracknell. Ick.

While I'm lucky in that there are many lovely places close to me where I can walk with the knobheads are there none close to you @Moriath?

I have always been under the impression that in this country we are never far from loveliness.

Pulling your own teeth out with a rusty spoon is more agreeable than the streets of Bracknell.

I'm lucky, this is the walk literally less than five mins from my house:

It's why I'm thinking of buying somewhere near the beach in North Wales. Mountains and seaside. Fuck if there's a long commute. I can stay away during the week but at the weekends I want it on my doorstep.

 

[Embattle]

In another couple of years we will move from London to some where in Devon.

This is half an hour from the centre of Dublin.

Funnily enough I had a look at prices on Anglesey when I was over there earlier this summer (driven by childhood nostalgia); fuck me its expensive. I never really think of anywhere in Wales as expensive, but I guess it is a truly lovely part of the world (I'll always maintain Beaumaris was just about the perfect place to be kid, but probably sucked donkey balls as a teenager; I left when I was 12).

 

[Scouse]

Nice Gaff.

Funny you should say that, I was just looking myself.

Yeah. Beaumaris is hella expensive. Ideally I want somewhere *right on* the beach and a ride to the mountains from my doorstep - all packaged up with no more than an hour and twenty from, say, Chester.

It's a tall order I know.

I want a place near conwy. Exactly as you say it between the mountains and the sea.

Not within walking distance. Would have to drive to get there and then go walking but im inherently lazy hehe

Llanfairfechan or Penmaenmawr. They would be a bit too Welshy-welsh for my taste, but its about spot on for what you're talking about. Llandudno or Conway are probably a bit too far from Snowdonia. Looking on Zoopla there seem to be some nice houses that aren't too mad price-wise as well.

I had considered looking up the estuary near Llanwyrst but I want beach and open sea. But I do like Conwy

 

[Scouse]

Llanfairfechan or Penmaenmawr.

Don't like 'em tbh. To be fair, another of my requirements is not in a town (or on, or in sight of, a main road). I want a bit of land around me and no fucking neighbours.

Going proper rural if I can

Say goodbye to civilisation then. We were only a mile outside Porthmadoc this summer and couldn't get a 3G signal and apparently there's no DSL either. May as well live in a cave.

Beach at llandudno is like five mins drive away. But llandudno itself isnt that nice

We go to a river side apartment thats part of an old barn conversion or something. No 3g on three or orange or vodaphone. And slow broadband. Fine for a few days we spend there. But annoying for longer. Have to have sky too cause the tv signal is crap. But its literally right on the river. You could paddle to conwy if you wanted

That's kind of the point tbh.

Shit slow internets, patchy mobile signal, a few chickens in the back yard, all the outdoorsey stuff I like to do on my doorstep.

Struggling in Wales but don't want to go north as, frankly, cold winters. But maybe. I just don't know.
