But it's even better - each additional 15 minutes per day reduces the risk by another 5% so you only need to exercise for 5 hours a day and you have reduced your risk of dying by more than 100%...then again 5 minutes of exercise and I would feel like death

In the name of science (well ..ish) I have been conducting an experiment for the past month. I put a book about bear markets on display to see how quickly it went out on loan. A month later and the books either side have gone off on holiday to peoples' houses but the book on bear markets is still sitting forlornly on the shelf. Before you laugh your socks off and talk about house prices Hamish, I'm not convinced a book on bull markets would have performed any better.

Clearly we are a clique living at the margins of society. Or alternative we don't really care that much either and just come here for a natter.

I've been looking for a book on gold ramping for next month but I couldn't find one as we only buy quality tomes. Like Jade Goody's life story and Horrid Henry.

viva: perhaps it's august and people are borrowing books to read on holiday? I'm very partial to chick lit when on holiday...the heavier tomes are for when my brain can cope

May be misskool is right. Personally I think that people like to spout off on subjects about which they are pretty ill informed, or reasonably informed but dogmatic.

After a thread in relationship forum I had to tell dh he was horrifically mutilated and to have a go at his dad, and to inform my dad he was probably Jewish until the day he died. Both are now convinced I'm a little bit mad.


DH is going back to work in the morning. We've not done anything in the house/garden this weekend but just enjoyed some domestic time together. We've both really enjoyed it, but feel a bit grim for not having ''acheived'' anything.

Also we have had a very minor but unrresolved disagreement. DH would like a tv in the bedroom. I don't want one..its not as simple as not using it when not wanted. My suggestion at compromise is to have one but with no arial, so just for films...I like being down stairs with the animals, and its fair to them.

lir: we only have one television in this household

there is no need for another one anywhere else.

My H is afraid of the dark.

He wants TV in the bedroom. If we have a TV in the bedroom, he leaves it on all night. I have to wake up and turn it off when he is properly asleep. I am not allowed to change the channel even if he is snoring and he awakes for 4 seconds to tell me off and change it back. I also have to shout sometimes when I simply can't sleep through Family Guy or Match of the Day, nor do I like hearing shouty, shooting, killing type noises when I am trying to sleep.

The other option is that we have no TV in the bedroom and he never comes to bed. He sleeps downstairs in the living room under my expensive Designers Guild throws, if I'm lucky I get a decent nights sleep without my husband. If not, I end up thumping on the ceiling (usually in vain because he can't hear) or indeed have to go marching downstairs in the middle of the night to turn it off because he's got it on LOUD.

So we fluctuate between each of these scenarios endlessly and he wonders why I'm not naturally an early riser. :mad:

I'm upstairs at the moment and I can very clearly hear that he is watching 24 down there.

oh, and some time ago I was wondering whether pumpkin seed brittle would be nice. Its not, oits DELICIOUS much earthier than nut brittle, a new favourite in this household. Particularly good for chaps too!

lol. I usually fall asleep to radio four. It drives dh potty and whenever he turns it off I tell him, while asleep ''I'm listening to that''. Its a very, very bad habit and I mainly do it when alone because its antisocial and not terribly good for one I guess...I think brains need quiet times.
