A Mish Mash Of Things

Well I think I may have found the most disgusting TV show of all time. Happened across it whilst channel surfing and am seriously lost for words. In a nation in the flabby grip of an obesity epidemic , the fact that a show that celebrates gluttony is not only commissioned but becomes popular says a lot about the moral fabric of that society. (no offence Norma)

I woke this morning at 0545 and yet again went for a nice run. I prefer running when there’s not many people out and clearly I am not the only to feel this way as I passed several others all doing the same. For home stretch, I did lampposts, alternating between jogging and flat out sprinting using lampposts as markers.

I went to the shul and on the way back went into Gillingham for some curried goat. I got a text from a woman I’ve chatting up inviting me for a date. Now I have to do some explaining. She lives down here but is originally from south east London so in that respect we are very similar. However she is of mixed ethnicity and she happened to tell me she was from an area of south London called Blackheath. Except when she wrote the text she spelled it Blackest. That’s very funny when you’re eating Jamaican food. Or perhaps you had to be there.

After that I wandered home but checked out the charity shops. Since I lost weight I have liked exercising greater choice in my clothes and I have a liking for skinhead style stuff. You can pick up some bargains in the charity shops but today I saw something that made my jaw drop. It was a shirt that XXXXXXXL! I did toy with the idea of buying it for the comedy value.

There’s a longer post bubbling under, to do with work but that’s one I need to think over. I’ll post it tomorrow.

  1. How could you possibly offend me? No one is more disgusted by the out-of-control astronomical proportions of Americans than I am.

  2. It's jsut i didn;t want you to think that in having a go at that show, I was having a pop at all Americans! I am still surprised at restaurants that offer meals that weigh 4lbs, and challenge you to eat the whole thing as if that is a worthwhile goal.
