Diet and exercise, it's the only way. Do it seriously for a bit then diet during the week and eat what you like at weekends. Works for me.

Last (only) time I was in there I had a go on nearly every diagnostic machine they had. Must have cost a fortuneOriginally posted by OwlHoot View PostLast time I was in hospital, in the mid 60s to have a third set of front teeth removed, the surgeon had a bowler hat and a pocket watch on a gold chain in his striped waistcoat. So I wouldn't say I've been much of a burden on the NHS.

I was inside IR35 for a few years though so they still owe me new hips when the time comes.
