Hello everybody, excuse me repeating myself but....

Lanzarote – La Santa...it's still possible

Lanzarote - 1st November - 8th November
the cost is £360 – flight and accommodation.

With a few people still um-ing and ar-ing about the annual jaunt to La Santa, I thought I would re-issue the details. If you are considering coming, please note that each apartment sleeps three – we currently have two full apartments – so ideally three or even six more persons would be perfect. The apartments have to be paid up two months before (September) so I would urge any interested parties to hurry!
By my reckoning, there is still space for two more people. So come on!

Contact me for info.

Smelly gloves!

Remember – I've got gloves available(£14 or £25 for leather) groin guards, mouth guards or any other equipment available - just ask.

check the La Santa pics from last year on previous blog!

And finally....

I would be grateful if all regular attendees would furnish me with contact details. I promise no stalking...

After the recent ban of smoking in England and with all the accompanying furore - what about the freedom of the smokers, what about their human rights...yadda, yadda, yadda - my mind turned to the demon drink; alcohol. It's true that a ban on alcohol is unenforceable and to be frank, not at all an attractive proposition. The negatives of smoking are well documented; clogs the lungs, impairing, over time, their function, dulls the skin and the olfactory senses and of course, smelly clothes!
The negatives on alcohol are also well documented; slows reactions - because it acts as a depressant on brain functions - disrupts sleep, affects liver and kidneys. It is not the affect on the well known which I am highlighting in this blog, it is the effects which are not so well known, the facts which are not so well known.
Appealing to the vanity of most, the fact of the matter is alcohol makes you fat. The calorific values of the main food groups components are: carbohydrates - 4 grams, protein - 4 grams, fat - 9 grams, ALCOHOL - 7 grams. As you can see alcohol carries almost twice as much weight as carbs or proteins. Though it carries less than fat, because of the way the body metabolises alcohol, it has a detrimental effect on weight management. In it's purest form, alcohol evaporates quickly, this is why it is so harmful to weight loss. The body will always use the most readily available fuel - that's the basis of the Atkins diet, but that's another blog - because alcohol is so easily absorbed by the body, when a person drinks, the body uses the alcohol as fuel, leaving fat stored, visibly in many binge drinkers, around the middle of the body and also, unseen, internally. Not to say that abstinence is the best course of action, but excessive consumption of alcohol will have a detrimental effect on the body.
