I don't know whether to nod my head or shake it Ben. Come on then, what sort of new fangled diet is it this time?

It's not a diet as such, I'm just eating sensibly. Nearly 3 stone lighter than January last year.

I've had my blips but as a rule I've cut out bread, drinking from home & other stuff that's not deemed healthy & increased my intake of veg, fruit & non-alcoholic fluids..

When I drank at home it tended to lead me to the fridge or the take away menus so it was best that I stopped.

When we go out I tend to give a little more thought to what I order but don't deprive myself & drink with moderation.

The blips I mentioned were caused, I believe, by feelings of deprivation of perceived luxuries, so I now give the diet Wednesdays off. We usually get a take-away & sometimes a beer or two & a bottle of wine. Initially we went a bit daft on Wednesdays but it's calmed down now.

One of the hardest parts has been cutting out the Mrs' cakes. We used to get the first samplers of new recipes but I now take them to work & watch them fat ****s munch away on them.

It's a lifestyle change more than a diet. A diet is less permanent

It was more a Ben McCheshire type image that Choose Life brought to mind for me given the big bit before it.

Was that the one last week, or the one the week before?








Haddock, chips, patty, mushy peas in a separate pot, scraps, pickled onion, plenty of salt & vinegar, bread & butter and a pot of tea.

Bang out of order that – putting peas in a separate pot – like some kind of apartheid.

This ‘gentrification’ of the form and etiquette of fish ‘n’ chips is not correct.

Au contraire, what you're advocating is more like some sort of arranged marriage. It being served in the pot is all about mixing freely in whatever way feels right. If they pre-pour the peas onto the chips it makes it more difficult to combine them with the fish. They could even pour them onto the plate (eating in) or one end of the tray (take away) to avoid the walled segregation issue you're concerned about. They just need to be pure until the chosen union is made.

Seriously though, you can eat whatever you like, if you don't eat anything at all after 5pm. FACT!

Hey I'm no member of the bourgeoisie, I just don't like soggy pea chips.

And don't get me started on the clowns that pour peas over the fish. Might as well have not deep fried it by the time you get the sad looking limp ****er home.
 
**** going to Willerby for chippy. Funky Fish is good enough for me.
