I recommend this place[^]
Great food, reasonable price, friendly staff, easy to get to.
In fact, I am tempted to run up there too, make a CP Gathering of it.
Maybe get one or two of the other pseudo-scots to join us.

I would be up for that. I might even be able to persuade Mr M to part fund it  . No promises, but it's worth a try.

How many of you have managed to live up to your diet plans? (mainly to reduce weight). I have been repeatedly failing on my convictions about avoiding sweets. For the last two weeks I was cutting down heavily on food in take , Sweets and fatty/oily items. And all of a sudden, today I noticed a parcel full of sweets in the kitchen, the wife had brought in from her relatives. I couldn't resist & started grabbing them one by one and I would look like a camel loading up stocks for a non-stop Sahara cross run. I envy those thin ones that never put on weight even if they eat a whole camel loaded with sweets.

I have very selfishly decided a long time ago that I would not care about my physical shape or appearance. If I have to die at 45 because I do not want to drink less beer or eat less good stuff, then be it. Carpe Diem, and better live my life fully now than live 50 years longer with privation and so on. Sure, it is healthier to eat plants and soja only, exercise the whole day, not smoke, and not tell bad jokes in the soapbox, but how boring a life it is !

Bravo.
Where I work there are now loads of people making themselves miserable eating small amounts of tasteless food or wincing each time they move because of efforts in the gym.
Eating is a great pleasure in life, I see now reason to restrict that pleasure in the hope of getting a few more years at the end.

Carpe Diem? If only it were that simple.
The problem with really unhealthy behavior is that it usually doesn't kill you all at once. You don't suddenly die. You linger in misery.
For example, smokers blow off dying young but don't consider "living" with emphysema, wheeling around a tank of oxygen just to walk.
If you make it to diabetic, you end up eating with exceptional care - whilst your toes are amputated one-by-one, you may go blind, and lose other organ functions.
The misery comes when it comes - not on some scheduled date far off in the future. A few luck out* - most don't.
*Bacon-lovers don't consider looking like their quarry.

There is one simple way to put an end to it, should it come that far.

Yeah - but when that time comes, it's different than hypothesizing about what one will do.
When of my someday famous sayings: "It's easy to say you won't scream out when your feet aren't in the fire."
Crap happens to people all the time - no doubt - but it's finding that combination of hedging your bets.

Too true -- fat blokes just sit and watch news about skinny blokes dropping dead on the telly.

Which pretty accurately (but not the toes bit) describes the state of a guy right outside my office. He's been on the slippery slope for about three years but he just carries on eating and drinking like that's not what caused it in the first place. I've watched him say "I'm not allowed to eat cake" then 10 minutes later chow down on the largest hunk of chocolate mud cake possible.
He's one rooted unit.

All right for you ya young wipper snapper but when 45 is in the dim past you tend to take more notice, so I gave up smoking.

In my slightly younger days I did triathlon, so lots and lots of running, swimming and cycling. Ate like a horse but what I ate changed quite a bit compared to before. Sweet sugary stuff - cakes, ice cream, chocolate, etc. I hardly touched, not because I didn't like them but the body wanted carbs - pasta, potatoes, bread, etc.
And strangley that hasn't changed even though now I'm not exercising anywhere near same level (injury).
