I sometimes feel like I’m the only person that feels completely indifferent to The Wolf on Wall Street.

I’m sure I thought it had some good bits, good performances. But I can only remember a couple of things about it. My abiding memory of it is that it’s way too long and I just didn’t care by the end of it. But it’s provided it’s fair share of memes and gifs to give it it’s due.

Edit - apparently it’s The Wolf OF Wall Street not “on”.

I really didn't like it. Just glorified clearings in the woods. There's enough clearings in the woods in the real world without watching a film about them

Article with a very interesting idea, a Planetary Food Diet which may interest those who are interested in changing their diet based on what is ecologically sound.

The diet to save lives, the planet and feed us all?

A diet has been developed that promises to save lives, feed 10 billion people and all without causing catastrophic damage to the planet.

Scientists have been trying to figure out how we are going to feed billions more people in the decades to come.

Their answer - "the planetary health diet" - does not completely banish meat and dairy.

But it requires a ginormous shift in what we pile onto our plates and turning to foods that we barely eat.

What changes am I going to have to make?

If you eat meat every day then this is the first biggie. For red meat you're looking at a burger a week or a large steak a month and that's your lot.

You can still have a couple of portions of fish and the same of chicken a week, but plants are where the rest of your protein will need to come from.

The researchers are recommending nuts and a good helping of legumes (that's beans, chickpeas and lentils) every day instead.

There's also a major push on all fruit and veg, which should be make up half of every plate of food we eat.

Although there's a cull on "starchy vegetables" such as the humble potato or cassava which is widely eaten in Africa.

So what is the diet in detail?

If you served it all up this is what you are allowed each day:

1. Nuts - 50g a day
2. Beans, chickpeas, lentils and other legumes - 75g a day
3. Fish - 28g a day
4. Eggs - 13g a day (so one and a bit a week)
5. Meat - 14g a day of red meat and 29g a day of chicken
6. Carbs - whole grains like bread and rice 232g a day and 50g a day of starchy vegetables
7. Dairy - 250g - the equivalent of one glass of milk
8. Vegetables (300g) and fruit (200g)

The diet has room for 31g of sugar and about 50g worth of oils like olive oil.

Surprised by the nuts to be honest as they need a lot of water to grow but the rest makes sense.

so does that mean flying from Paris or Berlin to the US  planes would have to change their flight path to avoid uk airspace?

If the government shutdown carries on over here there may not be any planes flying from the US. The Air traffic Controllers haven't been paid for a month already.

Found myself supporting Derby in that, so pleased with that shootout.

Yeah me too. Southampton are a nothing team and Derby having more games to get knackered and injured is good for us.

She's inviting all the party leaders to meet with her.

Another waste of a day towards the Brexit date 

Watched "Informer" on Amazon Prime. 

Might have been a Channel 4 or BBC thing over there, not sure.

One of those good, slow British cop things that are much better paced than 99% of US police drama.

7.8/10 - kills a few hours.

Awful news. Hope you get better soon and are back here talking about your career.

3 hours before they turned up. Can you imagine eating a big mac that's sat out for 3 hours, with cold congealed cheese, and cold fries? I'd rather starve.

I'm only surprised he didn't give them the bill when they left.

Mexico is gonna pay for it !

Irony on so many levels.

He had to pay for the 'meal' himself because of the government shutdown. So he ordered elite student athletes shitty fast food.

It's his worst nightmare. His pie in the sky allotment shed dreams just crashed into reality. All the dicking about Corbyn Labour has been doing has now hit him in the face. He's been hiding in his shed, vaguely pretending to have some notion of "negotiating a better Brexit" despite knowing it is impossible, pretending to want an election even though he can't get one and now he's going to have to either oppose Brexit (which he actually wants) or support it and further reduce any chance of ever getting elected. The dickwad.

The irony of all of this is that May wanted to remain and Corbyn wanted to leave (despite campaigning for remain.) 

You couldn't make up this farce.

There is no appetite in parliament for no deal, because that would be a stain on national politics for years to come, so the only outcome I can see that makes sense is to have another referendum. 

Blimey I think the last two years have already gone way beyond that already !

"You" is a terrible teen, silly drama, with some weird twists - The dialogue is Beverley Hills 90210 level - absolutely awful.

I was ill and just kept watching in a semi-lucid state and absolutely hated myself every episode. Awful.

Sean Dyche still continues to do a great job. Manages to get the best out of very average players (Westwood, Bardsley etc) and keeps getting results to keep Burnley up. 

Wouldve loved him at us. Sad reflection that even Burnley are a better proposition than us now.

It's interesting that he bought them up to the PL, they got relegated but the owners stuck with him and he got them up again and now they've completely stabilized.

Do you think our fans would have that kind of patience? I don't.

We aren not going up this season and given the last month you have to question or not we have the right man in charge.

Elphick must be livid he was recalled from his loan and taken off. He has every right to be too.

Awful awful awful

Oooooh close from Hourihane.

Shame it was our goal.

Forget this season. Don't rush Gresford back.

Just hope Dean Smith knows what he's doing for next year.
