But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Go and have a health check at your doctor's. That was the biggest spur to me to lose weight and take more exercise. My cholesterol was 7 and s/b around five, and my fat index was twice what it should be. I was a heart attack waiting to happen.
Join a gym. The cost is quite expensive and I find that a spur to use it, in order to get my money's worth. Esporta are good because membership gets you free usage of all their other gyms throughout the country(45 approx), which is great if you are travelling around as a contractor. Take up a sport such as tennis, squash or football. I now play 5 a sides with a load of other over 50s every week. We had a game at the Madjeski academy last week, and played on a tour to Athens in November. Great fun!!!
My diet consists of mainly porridge with skimmed milk for breakfast..... no fry-ups !!
No eggs, plenty of fruit, nuts and vegetables, fish, chicken and turkey.
No take-aways at all, but I do have the occasional curry at home.
Beer only at weekends.
Good Luck !!Comment
