    Can't sleep

    I came in from my window cleaning round and dropped off to sleep for half an hour. But 2 hours sounds a bit long in the day ? Then again like you say your body tells you when you're tired etc. I like the afternoon short kip, and have one 3 or 4 days a week. Feel more refreshed than sleeping at...

    What Album Would You Save ?

    I listen to the Danny Bowes show on Planet Rock. And he likes listeners to send him questions to his programme. I asked him this poser " if he had a fire in his home and he only could save one album, which one would it be ? " He loved the question and chose Bowie's Aladdin Sane. I chose Fire...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    I've always wondered if those giant Sumo wrestlers are fit as they look obese? Maybe fine for short bursts, but can't see them going for long fights. Then again if they landed on you it would be goodnight Vienna !

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    The boxer who beat AJ ? He was overweight, but he proved to be more than a match for the more muscle bound Joshua. But the lower weight boxers seem to stick to the weight needed. My son had to train for a charity boxing contest, and he said it was gruelling, and made football training seem tame...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    Ever done boxing training ? Got to be the toughest work out going. I did a session a couple of years back, enjoyed it but couldn't move the next day. I do It occasionally now but not as intense, worried I may keel over ! So much respect for boxers, super athletes.

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    The thing about exercise and keeping fit you need to keep it up, no good doing it for a bit and saying sod it I'll get back lying on the sofa. I reckon any type of exercise is better than nothing, going for a walk is a great start. I've noticed people dog walking has increased over the years, my...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    Growing up in the 60's I used to watch the coal man carrying bags of coals down our path. He had a stoop through the carrying. My dad told me years later he wasnt that old but that job carrying heavy bags was that tough it aged him.

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    Never had any weird sensations like you mentioned. But when you carry ladders around I have no feeling on my right shoulder blade, it is permantly numb through all the weight and carrying over the years. I once broke my collar bone falling off a mountain bike, and had hardly any pain there on...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    About ladders. They are a great invention when you think of it. I've worked with wooden ones when I first started, now aluminium ones. I used to go up them like a squirrel up a tree ! I still am fairly nippy, but like to pace myself now. When I finally retire it'll feel weird not going up and...

    Exercise Or No Exercise ?

    A few customers on my round over the years have been housebound, and hardly got out their homes. One lady was overweight through lack of exercise and had a wheelchair to get about. I often thought she won't last long living like that, but amazingly she passed away in her 80's. She used to watch...
