You'd think so yes, in which case you'd be fine..... ....but (and I'm doing lots of exercise currently), I didn't actually do it exercising. In fact I don't actually understand how or when it happened. So sorry, it's not safe out there Fats!!!
Ouch!! I’m Putting it down to someone who excercises has got injured. Excercise is clearly dangerous. Hope it’s better soon Ps. Careful where you put that ice pack
I pulled something yesterday in my lower back on my vibration plate - it's killing now, so no exercise for a few days. Yep exercise is dangerous - especially at my age....and I'm younger than you Fats, so watch out
On another note, had one of those DNA things done. Very interesting thing if you have the inclination. Turns out I’m 56% English, 24% Scottish, 14% Ashkenazi Jew (!?), 4.4% Italian and a dribble of Eastern European. So in my mind now, I’m Italian.
Interestingly, I didn't do a DNA test, but did try to make a family tree not so long ago. For most people using Ancestry.com is easy peasy, but for me it was a bit of a challenge as I am the first one in our family (well second as I am the younger child) to be born in the UK. My father is Indian and my mother Italian. Italian records relatively easy to look into, but the Indian side is a bit sketchy. I did manage to go back to about 1700 though. It was fascinating. The funny part is that many see me as a mixture as I am half and half, but I am pretty pure in that half and half. Unlike most I think i mentioned it before, but my great great grandfather is a famous Italian mathematician and has a square and library named after him in Naples. Really interesting
Out of interest where/how do you go about doing that? I know my family tree going back a whopping 2 generations so think this could **** me over.
Cheers, will take a proper look at that later. Do you just get some pie chart of your results with % of your DNA? Or is it a bit more detailed than that?
More detailed - it was actually my brother that had it done so not seen the actual report - he just sent me the overall results. Apparently most people have a bit of Italian because of the Romans!
Cool, I'll look into it. I remember a couple of years ago my mum telling me she had received a letter about some relative of hers (I think her great grandfather) who was having a statue unveiled somewhere in Portugal and was quite a famous author or something. Be interesting to see if there is any more about that. I know that my Grandmother was born in Brazil to Brazilian father and English mother, her father got put in prison for some political reason and her mother brought her back to England when she was 10 or so. Claimed that she had forgotten Portuguese when my mum wanted her to teach her it growing up, went on holiday to Portugal and she looked clueless when the locals were chatting away apart from the odd word (different language but only slightly different). She developed really bad dementia type (doctors wouldn't call it dementia for some reason, said it was something else and just old age) in her old age and I went to visit her once and she started chatting away to me in rapid, fluent Portuguese. One of the nurses in her home was Brazilian and translated and she basically thought she was back in Brazil in the house she grew up in, was pretty crazy and shows how powerful the brain is I guess.
