Amazing - thank you! The "vote for my baby's photo or else" thing has also happened to me a lot recently.

I wanted to do something where I've made a commitment otherwise I just won't do it plus it would motivate me to be doing it with other people.

Read this - http://www.chrismcdougall.com/ - you will be motivated I guarantee it. Then run, before you get too old and fat to do it - like me.

Or your joints are too knackered, like me!

It's always worthwhile to open Facebook and be informed of your friend's toddler having their first poo or first wee in the potty (I've receive both updates in the past few days).

I really wish this Firefox/Chrome addon worked as described, sadly it's not as clever as I'd hoped: http://unbaby.me/

I've been wanting to do something outside of work to get me a bit fitter and saw a poster up in a shop I walked past for a beginners running club and all their sessions are in the morning when I would be working or getting ready for work. Rubbish.

Stand still, feet together.
Now put one foot on the ground about a 24 to 30 inches in front of you.
Now bring the remaining foot & place it the same distance in front of the first one.
Repeat this process & gradually speed up.

Hey ho, now you're running!

I won't charge you for this coaching.....this time.

[a-moron]

No, no, no.
*Wait!!!
*Stop running Lottie!!!

Everyone knows you have to stretch properly before starting that shit.

So Lottie,

If you just want to bend over to touch your toes.
Yep that's it. Gradually increase the pressure on the hamstrings as you get closer and closer to your toes.
Once there, grab and hold your ankles for as long as you can just to maximise the stretch.

You are now ready to embark on a wee run about.

I imagine Badger's just sitting on a chair 4-5 feet behind Char as she's doing this.

No, no, no.

Admit it, you just want her to stop at "If you just want to bend over to touch your toes."

No. No no no no. NEVER stretch cold muscles, that's how you pull and tear them. Warm up first , then exercise, THEN stretch afterwards. Never never never stretch cold muscles. Ever.

[a-moron]

Shhush you!!!!!

Can't you see we're watching Lottie over here.

Take your advice and stick it up your arse, that'll warm up them muscles.

The swollen gums of doom are back I think everyone on this site could predict my menstrual cycle these days. There's probably a calendar somewhere I can't access with big red numbers and a warning sign flashing on the screen.

[dimtimjim]

My PC is in the hands of the IT dept... Has been since 11am. Now, you all know I like a work-posting session as much as the next Badger, but honestly, after 3 hours of nothing but (restricted) tinternet to entertain me, I'm well bored.

SHeffield IT. I'm sure there is an abbreviation in there somewhere...

I feel a bit heartless with my dislike for baby Facebook updates, but I blame the never ending barrage of shite parents post for my cynicism. Poor kids, it's not even their fault.

Do not feel heartless. Feel like a rational, reasonable human being.

[Latina]

The link that chrysostom posted (and some of the comments within) makes a valid point that I hadn't even considered... These kids are going to grow up and stuff posted on the internet doesn't go away.

If I had a baby and wanted to tell everyone about it (which I'm sure I would), before each update I'd ask myself if the kid - when old enough to understand - would mind if they knew what I'm about to broadcast about them, to the number of people I'm about to broadcast it to.

And people on Facebook can have hundreds of friends, so it's not the same as keeping potentially embarrassing photos in an album on the shelf.

[a-moron]

Ach * the kids.

I enjoy posting pics of them and they can deal with the consequences.

Make 'em tougher for it.

[James H]

It could be worse, I made a concerted effort to exercise more back in May. I splashed out on a shiny new bike, and I've used precisely.... twice.

The nights are now drawing in and it's getting colder, it's now destined for a life in my garage!

How did I miss this "article"?! http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/se ... sfeed=true

I didn't speak to one person on Friday who hated Chris, although the guy who declined to comment (who isn't on here) was a thoroughly pleasant chap!

Google Ads feeling I need adverts plastered all over my screen (on this website) for 'local slags'... If this was my laptop, I could maybe understand, but what combination of fecking keystrokes have i managed to press on a work PC that google Ads has picked up assuming I'm after some cheap dutty minge.

Do1 Google, you slag.

[a-moron]

Thinks the man doth protest too much.

[chrysostom]

The google banner ads are usually to do with the content on the page itself, as opposed to your cookies.

Char, Latina and Yuds have posted in the thread.

I'd love a 'local slag'. My favourite sort.

And having seen what Charlalottie looks like she isn't one of them. She's more of a long term commitment type of girl, classy and beautiful.

Oh you're in trouble now.

I just presented 2 facts. You're the one thats linking them.

Keyword targeting

If you sell hand-knitted scarves online, you can create an ad group for your image ads with keywords like "wool scarves" and "knitted scarf." Contextual targeting allows your image ads to appear on Google Display Network sites with similar themes, such as websites about clothing, accessories, or blogs for knitting enthusiasts.

The ladies of CM.net calendar??? Seems like the right thing to do.
