Paging Strewel, any reason not to go to dubai during Ramadan,warned off by a friend,but reading up online it seems grand?

In Dubai you won't notice an awful lot of difference. A good few restaurants will be closed during the day and those open will probably only serve you where you are not visible to passing traffic. You would be expected to join in to the extent of not eating drinking or smoking in public.
Ramadan can be a good time to visit many ME countries, especially the more family oriented places. After the days fasting is over there are often large community gatherings for the post fasting meal called Iftar and people will go out night after night to break fast with different relatives and friends. It all adds up to quiet a nice atmosphere kind of like an extended christmas season.

Haven't heard it mentioned here, or maybe I just missed it, but Catastrophe is the best comedy series I've seen in years. All you people looking for a decent comedy should definitely check it out.

Seeing as you guys have been talking sitcoms over the last few days, how high does Community rank on your collective lists? It's my own personal favorite, by a distance (apart from S4 of course). I haven't watched any of S6 yet though... no spoilers please!

I didn't realize breakfast sitcoms were a 'thing'; I often do this as well. Do you have any particular criteria for choosing your breakfast sitcoms?

My number one criterion is that it is not Community, though I gave it a go as my breakfast sitcom for a little while. Other than that I like it to be light enough. If it has a lot of episodes then it's a bonus as choosing new ones is tough - a good recent example being Parks and Rec.

Ive been enjoying watching Oz from the start on channel 148 recently for breakfast , prob the best breakfast prison rape drama out there

I discovered yesterday that the actor who played the biker prisoner Jaz Hoyt (who was also in the band Biohazard) is married to my favourite porn actress. I discovered this due to seeing a video of her sucking his dick. If you have watched Oz then you will recognise this particular appendage.

Community was so money but when Dan Harmon left it was all over the place even when he came back it was iffy still some great laughs, drop a line when you've gotten to season 6 they're currently 7 episodes into it enough to give you a feel for it.

Don't mind the referendum posters saying 'We already have civil partnership, don't redefine marriage'. Clearly I don't agree with the sentiment and what it implies, but its just a political statement. But those 'Every child deserves a mother and father' posters send out a very distasteful message imo.

They do a great job of alienating each and every single parent family alright.

The weight loss industry is a mind boggling industry in a way. It's not the fact that people spend millions a year on products relating to weight loss, I can totally understand that, what's incredible is that even though it's such a massive industry, the basic science of weight loss still seems to be such a little known concept. If you consume less calories than you expend, you'll lose weight. Food has calories in it, and you expend calories by moving. The rest is filling in the numbers.

If the industry was largely related to the psychology of weight loss, I could understand that, but it's amazing how so many products can gloss over the basic science of the matter like it doesn't exist.

ow my head. Who buys all the sausage rolls in Spar? Every Spar starts the day with a metric tonne of sausage rolls, so presumably there is a vibrant market for them. Yet, i'd say its been a decade since I've seen someone actually eat a sausage roll. Maybe they are shame-eaten in secret.

They are my guilty pleasure and I have them every Friday morning, would eat them every monring only I'd be a fat fuck in weeks. Can't beat them with lashings of red or brown sauce

Facing financial ruin if the opinion polls are correct.

3-4 sausages
2 fried eggs
3 scrambled eggs
mushrooms
1 hash brown
2 slices of toast
1 croissant
2 cups of tea
1 glass of orange juice
1 pint of water

around 1400 calories I'd say

calories in sausages being a bit underestimated too. Most sausages are over 100 calories.

Has it occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, the prevalence and complexity of the diet industry indicates that obesity is actually much more complicated than that? Sure, calorific intake will place a theoretical upper limit on body mass, but if you want to use that as an excuse to ignore all of the ongoing research that indicates a multivariate problem with a significant amount of poorly-understood elements, then I'm not surprised it gives you so much cognitive dissonance.

Do you disagree that the basic science of losing weight is rooted in calories in vs calories out? My point is how do so many products skip over this fact.

Could eat that in one sitting no probs. Obviously not the best idea due to aforementioned calories in vs calories out.

[Hitchhiker's Guide To...]

[Jam-Fly]

to put it another way, if you were to give a clueless fat person ONE piece of advice to lose weight, what would it be? It would be to create a caloric deficit. This person still may not lose weight because of psychological, cultural, personal or in some cases, other medical issues. So weight loss products that target those other issues are fine with me, but it's the products that seem to ignore the absolute core principle (calories in vs calories out) that I don't agree with.

What I'm saying is the diet industry are partly responsible for this poor understanding. It's in their best interest to sell concepts like syns, weighwatcher points, 'free' foods and the likes rather than starting off with the science and then moving on to whatever their diet is about. Basically, the whole weight loss industry is so massive due to good marketing (which is partly hiding the basic and proven science behind weight loss) as opposed to scientific necessity. (And obviously I'm not saying all of the weight loss/diet industry is marketing bullshit, there's obviously a lot of good stuff too).

Highly impressive fck up by a student today - it seems he decided a few months ago to design his own course of study rather than the actual Masters he is enrolled in. Like he looked across the school and pick-n-mixed courses from undergrad, etc and chose to do these instead of the actual fcking courses he is enrolled in. What do some people be thinking?

That's his 2016 plan sorted so

That is one of the weirdest things i have ever heard a person doing. Was he handing in course work and doing midterms etc?

I would say that the supervision of the masters courses is terrible and this really should have been spotted much earlier tho
