Occasionally there will be a unification fight, but most times there's the IBA, IBF, ABA...etc. titles. How do you compare titles? I have "Worlds Greatest Dad" socks, does that make me a better dad than the owner of the WGD Mug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted September 7, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 7, 2016 First tie-breaker is did you take a picture of your spawn standing outside your front door on the first day back to school. Immediate elimination if the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Can I ask how much water does everyone on average drink a day? I been told about nothing less than 2-3 litres. For last 6 months I have been having 3 litres a day but I keep needing to go bathroom and sometimes there is no toilet in site. I am wondering if thats really necessarily to drink that volume?

The mistake people make is assuming your 2 litres needs to come from a 2 litre bottle of water. If you eat an orange, that's mostly water etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 In terms of fluids I drink I'd say I have between 1.5 and 2.5 litres. Then there is the fluids in the good I eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College You can also drink too much water which means you'll start getting deficiencies of various salts as you are flushing them out. About 2 litres including what comes from food is probably about right. More if you are more active. The eight glasses a day comes from (1960's?) US government advice which included water from food, not actually eight glasses of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have heard drinking too much water gives you problems (who would have thought?) it was from a personal trainer at my gym who told me. One other thing I found out today when drinking water is look at the ph level if it's high your good, if it's low it has more acid in it which is very bad for you apparently. I guess I better check that when I next buy water from aldi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don't get dietary advice from gyms. Any clown can set themselves up as a nutritionist. Find a qualified clinical dietitian online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By default it means exceeding more than is healthy / appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted September 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Does the international break bring to the fore our obsession with food? With little or no football to speak of, we've had the burger thread, the bacon sarnie thread and a couple of pages of apple talk in the cheer you up thread. What next? A new thread called "What do you have on your toast?" or "How do you peel your cumquats?". Edited September 8, 2016 by choffer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've only just realised that the small, funny tasting, soft apple that I took from the fruit bowl at work last week was a peach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
