Right thats me sorted then...

Next time I'm at the gym, I'm taking a four pack with me

Riding those cycles that tell you how many calories you've

just lost can kiss my ass.

I'll replace the lost calories with beer. The machine can't win.

As for weights, half a can between machines should make

sure I don't get too de-hydrated

YES

I'm living in Copenhagen at the moment and today in Denmark is Julebrygdag (Christmas Beer Day).

Officially it's the release by the breweries of the new set of Christmas beers and a way of celebrating the start of the darker nights and the run up to Christmas. Unofficially, like many other things in Denmark, it's a great excuse to drink lots and have a good time!!

Here's to clever scientists and sensible traditions :)

Isn't science wonderful for telling us what we already know?

isn't the point of exercise to burn off excess calories?

it's no wonder the fat bloke can't lose his beer belly.

How is that even possible? When you get drunk, you are feeling the effects of dehydration. You get dehydrated from drinking only beer...How is it possible that beer can rehydrate you, if that's the case?

Sorry, couldn't help myself. It's the weekend.

Having played ruggers in the military I can claim prior art to the knowledge passed down to you by prof "not so clever after all". When on tour our first aid kit consisted of cans of boddies, blackthorn cider and red stripe lager. Dependant upon the nature of the injury!!

Also comes in handy as a fire extinguisher for when we do the dance of the flaming arseholes!!*

* could not find a link to a video on utube because I did not look. Please feel free to do so yourselves.

At last Science has made amends for it's previous mistake, that of claiming women don't talk more than men.

I really couldn't bring myself to believe anything science said after that little paper got published, but this may balance it out.

Welcome back Darwin, I always knew I was a monkey once.

I didn't bring a coat, and I spent all my money rehydrating after some exercise, if someone wants to lend me a coat, and give me a lift home, that'd be great.

take the precaution of drinking beer first. Undue exercise leads to shortness of breath, stress injuries, and motor vehicle deaths (the cars don't die the runners, bicyclists do). Walk home from the pub it's all the exercise you really need.

Happy Friday!

I always found beer to be therapeutic. I found it helped me to sleep at night, whilst in strange environments (staying away from home while contracting), helped rise in the mornings to do what had to be done, remain working at ungodly hours of the night, once while being held up by my project manager, helped in breaking down language barriers to communication, they should bottle it and sell it on ...

The alcohol in beer is a safety feature, placed there to protect you against excessive hydration.

A literal translation of posters that can be seen in some French speaking parts of Africa. So obviously both Guinness and the African peoples in question know that beer is better than water...
