DIETS

A couple of years ago I heard Ann Widdecombe talking about losing weight. She said that she was going to write a diet book, and that it would have exactly two pages. On the first page it would say

"eat", and then on the second page it was going to say "less". That's the only way to go on a diet. All the other fads and "methods" are a load of rubbish. – Jonathan

I have yet to see a diet that tells people that, if they consume less calories than they burn off every day, they will start losing weight. But then they wouldn't make money by appealing to people's common sense. – Toronto Icarus

M&S ONLINE DELIVERY

Don't moan and bitch about M&S and other companies who "cannot" (will not, more like) deliver to the Irish Republic. Take a stance – don't shop there. It's the only answer. – Aydee
