    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.

    This is true. Do you think 25% of your daily calorie allowance from alcohol sounds reasonable?

    Last (only) time I was in there I had a go on nearly every diagnostic machine they had. Must have cost a fortune

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

    Mind you, I wouldn't say you were that portly IIRC.
