On The Run...

erm.. I know that I'm a bit of a lazy oaf right now but are all my friends ganging up on me?

First on MSN- Friday I think.. Rach " I just went for a run.."

Then Sunday- Luce "I went for a run yesterday"

Then I just check Michael's blog and yes: HE'S BEEN FOR RUN!!!

I KNOW FOLKS!! I KNOW I NEED TO EXERCISE!! THERE IS NO NEED TO RUB IT IN!! (I know my response should be to go and do a half marathon but given that wlaking up stairs makes my heart feel like its being crushed I may leave it.. ) bloomin gloaters..

Yep, we had a "lets go running to make Jude feel bad" conference.

Hmm.

Would it make you feel better if I said now "I went for a run on Friday and my back and shoulders still ache today"?

i really think exercise is overrated, and your response to all these people should be:

"you fools! how can pained exertion possibly be good for you!? look at your noisy wheezing and silly red faces! - and I bet you no longer appreciate the glories of cake, either!"

those of us who do no exercise should be confident in our moral superiority and not be oppressed by those who deliberately go out to look and sound ridiculous, all for the sake of "health".
we all know good health is achieved by a good diet - a proper balance of sweet (cake, chocolate etc) and savoury (courgette perhaps), balancing out those negative calories with positive ones... (making chocolate courgette cake totally calorie neutral, for example).

A friend of mine recently reminded me of this quote:

"Jogging is for people who aren't intelligent enough to watch breakfast television" - Victoria Wood

If you don't fancy jogging, play frisbee instead. It's far more sociable!

feeling bad too. just filled out a health questionairre attached to a job application that made you circle the number of hours you exercise a day that makes you out of breath. was forced to circle "less than 1" and felt like i should be on some reality show called "FAT CLUB: The 20-Somethings"
Where do these people find the time to exercise??? I don't know about anyone else but I work 8 hours a day, travel 2, and the rest of the time I'm eating, pooing or washing...

Living in a post democracy

How to live in a post democracy So- the last post was pretty gloomy, but all is not lost. Here are five things we can do. 1 Register to vote and tell everyone you know to do the same. Our best hope is to vote and make our voices heard in the time honoured fashion. Vote in everything, even if you spoil your paper. We have to show that this is still the way. 2 Subscribe. If we want a diverse media we have to pay for it. Become a member of the Guardian or pay for the Independent online. Or buy the Mirror. And for goodness sake BUY A TV LICENCE! You may also want to consider joining a Union. 3 Support the positive. For those of us who can afford local, organic produce then lets be intentional about it. Lets be intentional about using local energy supply and seeking companies who already have a commitment to things like good food labelling and non GM (which also includes Aldi and Iceland as far as I am aware). There is a list of companies who are anti TTIP. They are primarily...

Poppies, jingoism and the word absurd!

Morning one and all. Well I am back from holiday and in a particularly shoot from the hip place! So today's topic of tirade is poppy fascism! Its a strong comment but I think its where we have gotten to as a nation. As I tap away many folks are getting in a little tizzy about the fact that England can't wear poppies on their shirts on Saturday. FIFA is being pilloried as if they had run over the Queen Mother's cat in a hummer whilst playing gangster rap! What FIFA is actually doing is holding to the line that stops Israel celebrating the 1967 land grab, or Iran commemorating its losses in the last thirty years. Or actually more comparatively, it stops there being a Comic Relief shirt, or a Children In Need one.. or some other charity. Because in our latter day tyranny where one gets stared down if one doesn't wear a poppy, we have forgotten that the Poppy campaign is just that. It is a charity fundraiser. I am not saying that the British Legion is not worthy of ra...

Halloween Madness (but not as you might think)

I went shopping today with my family (dad, mum and niece). As is traditional in the family Smith, first stop was for a quick coffee before hitting the stores. Was just about to wander to a comfy seat with my latte when a suitably rotund witch acosted me and my niece to ask if we wanted to do the Halloween Ghost hunt. Now as you can imagine I don't really go for halloween, and was slightly offended that John Lewis (surely a bastion of demure Englishness) had bought into the loveless Americafest of Halloween. However my niece was intrigued by the lure of the lucky dip if she were to find the twelve ghosts hidden in twelve 'never knowingly undersold' departments. So after coffee the quest began.. the first one in childrenswear was easily found, but thats where the error was. We should have just stopped at that point. But no! It got into our little heads (well me mum and dad's) that we should now get all twelve. How hard could it be? So, we split up (tactics fol...
