I asked my son what he learned today at school. He said "Gay men like Sony, lesbians favour Yamaha and transgender people prefer Bose". Kneeling down, I put my hand on his shoulder and replied, "Son, those are just stereo types"

It's nice if you don't have to do anything physical, but working in that temperature is basically torture. I am fully aware of how heat acclimatisation works, but it's still hard for me to fathom how folk in warmer climes manage. I'm pissing sweat at 20c if I'm working.

It's been very hot here for the last week or so. 29c today, a little warmer tomorrow, but looks like it's settling down into something a bit more seasonal mid-week. I'm honestly looking forward to it - I'm absolutely useless in this heat. Happiest when it's no more than about 15c, and perfectly content at well below freezing.

That's beautiful - well done!

It's not quite a joke, but it had much the same effect on me 😄

Spotted this whilst out on a bike ride in Western Sweden this morning. I chuckled to myself 😄

Please, PLEASE just drop this now Dave. It's a one person crusade that honestly no-one but you gives a monkeys about. I know you're not a nut job as I've spoken to you outside of the forum, but it is now sadly the way you come across. If you respect this forum and the members that come here to contribute, please cease this campaign. It serves no purpose and it's just dragging the whole forum down. On a more general note, it would be nice for folk to try to be a bit more positive, or at the very least, objective. I would love to see more moderation, taking action against those that resort to personal insults. It really shouldn't be tolerated. You wouldn't speak like that face to face, so why is it OK here?

Nothing humourous in the last couple of pages..... 😑

This thread is just an embarrassment. For f*cks sake, will you all just grow up? There isn't a chance in hell you'd speak to each other like this in real life, so show some civility and stop acting like school kids. This used to be a really interesting forum where you could reasonably discuss controversial stuff (as well as all the arb related topics) but lately it's more resembling a cesspool than anything else.

Yep, I listen to a lot of those. I disagree with them a bit on their attitude towards protein though. They are not advocates of a higher protein intake, which for me, coming from an athletic background, is very important. I've taken their 30 different plants a week mantra to heart though, and sometimes get close to that in a single day. My gut microbiome is (I believe) a healthy place
