Its funny how people spend money. Like when a few years back we had big cut backs here I would buy a cheaper brand milk or bread or whatever ( never meat). for example; I use slimline milk and there was absolutely no difference in taste but now money is back floating about the house I grab avenmore milk from the fridge which gives a fairly big difference in price.
I am the worst ever with money and when have money will usually go for the dearer brand of an item because in my head I think ah yes must be better its dearer. Wonder are many others guilty of this. dunno would I spend 250 on a quilt though but if I was in a shop and there was 3 quilts all feather and priced 50, 60 and 70 quid , I would deffo pick the 70 quid one. its weird lolHer sky-ness

I think possibly alot of products could have nearly the same ingredients/ materials in them and we pay just for the name and the fancy packaging .Her sky-ness

“There is certainly a strong argument that an overreliance in public health on saturated fat as the main dietary villain for cardiovascular disease has distracted from the risks posed by other nutrients, such as carbohydrates.”

It's gone to shite though. Big crevice in it on one side (my side). Feels like a row of springs moved.
Comes with a 25 year guarantee, what's the changes of getting it replaced?

Have to say I was very impressed with Simon Harris. Had never heard of him until yesterday. He reminds me of a young Mandleson. All he needs now is a Tony Blair.
Hitch any chance of getting rid of twink. Maybe a jigsaw themed one instead.His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

As for better journals, there are many other studies that show this. Here's one form the BMJ. Is there a particular journal that you'd consider the gold standard, and I'll try find something.
Let’s bust the myth of its role in heart disease Scientists universally accept that trans fats—found in many fast foods, bakery products, and margarines—increase the risk of cardiovascular disease through inflammatory processes.1 But “saturated fat” is another story. The mantra that saturated fat must be removed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease has dominated dietary advice and guidelines for almost four decades. Yet scientific evidence shows that this advice has, paradoxically, increased our cardiovascular risks. Furthermore, the government’s obsession with levels of total cholesterol, which has led to the overmedication of millions of people with statins, has diverted our attention from the more egregious risk factor of atherogenic dyslipidaemia. Saturated fat has been demonised ever since Ancel Keys’s landmark “seven countries” study in 1970.2 This concluded that a correlation existed between the incidence of coronary heart disease and total cholesterol concentrations, which then correlated with the proportion of energy provided by saturated fat. But correlation is not causation. Nevertheless, we were advised to cut fat intake to 30% of total energy and saturated fat to 10%.”3 The aspect of dietary saturated fat that is believed to have the greatest influence on cardiovascular risk is elevated concentrations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Yet the reduction in LDL cholesterol from reducing saturated fat intake seems to be specific to large, buoyant (type A) LDL particles, when in fact it is the small, dense (type B) particles (responsive …

Strewel are you a reformed smoker yourself? Would explain the anger if you had to give up the hard way but now people have a much easier way to do it.
Same as the way I get angry that tinder exists now when I can't use it.

I think you would see a similar campaign develop in the media against a proper anti-fat pill if it ever came out. If smokers and overweight people can get off pain free it massively narrows the base of people you can look down on while being a lazy sod yourself.Last edited by Guest; 11-02-15, 09:25.

Tog is completely separate form the feel of a duvet anyway, they are important but different.
Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostTop floor in Arnotts has the widest selection of the finest luxury. Think we spent about €250 or so one in there last year. Ridiculously comfortable.
I'm pretty sure you could just go on amazon and get a really good duvet for cheap all of the time.

Never "double duveted" before though.
It hasnt been that cold this year though so the summer duvet was never taken off the bed.May you live in interesting times!
