Good to see I got a few responses to my question about the footy next week LOL. Get stuffed then. I thought I was popular with all you guys....... whoops, people sorry

[Booney]

Any Cows supporters going to the Geelong game next week?

There'll be 45,000 of them, I look forward to you meeting some.

So did we get clarity about the Prince of Albert..... is it a gay pub.... or was my gaydar out on Monday?

Walk in there with your leather pants with the bum cut out of them, I'm sure you'll get your answer within the first 5 minutes.

Would I get an offer to push in my stool perhaps......or the old line..... how do you fit 4 gay guys on one bar stool?

Pretty sure you both just got sacked from MMM

I’ll expect my severance pay in my account in the morning.

Anyone going to the Ice Hockey at the Ent Centre tonight?

No. Was seriously considering it until I saw the lineups and it’s probably C grade at best unfortunately

Where is JTC?

I miss him, especially when I'm barracking for England in the World Cup!

Just heard from his missus, all is good, I blame the SANFLS stupid byes/split rounds.

Any news from the Portuguese explorer?

More than likely enjoying his spices collected whilst traversing the Indian Ocean.

'Spices' you say lad, the type that result in increased hunger and a desire to listen to the Eagles/Credence?

Is a cholesterol level of 7.2 for a 47 yo that bad?

Got the all clear on all other tests including liver and kidney (god knows how) with the cholesterol being the only issue.

Apparently red meat alcohol and lack of exercise causes high cholesterol, no idea how mine is higher than norm.

7.2 is VERY high no matter the age.
Was funny that this morning we had our yearly work medical and the nurse says to me “Gee your carrying a bit of excess weight” and basically said the results wouldn’t be great. 5 minutes later she had an astonished look and commented that the tests must be wrong as my data told her I was one of the healthiest she had seen in months.
Cholesterol of 2.29, blood pressure excellent and Glucose of 4.2.

Mine was 13 when I was first tested 25 years ago down to below 4 with a Lipitor a day, and still able to eat red meat, drink alcohol and sit down all day.

Cheers. Hmm, will spend 3 months drinking to excess but will replace red meat with chicken and fish (not an issue as I love chicken and fish, it will be a bigger issue to my missus) , if that doesn't work I'll get some tablets.

Cholesterol is an interesting issue. In the early 1990s 7.2 would not have worried an insurance company, but now conventional wisdom is that it should be 5.4 or less. Also a few years ago more emphasis was placed on the ratio of low density lipids (bad) to high density lipids (good), but that is not the dominant view now.

In the 1980s Cardiologists would not eat eggs or let their family do so because eggs contain a lot of Cholesterol. Now the latest research suggests that Cholesterol in eggs is completely broken down and you generate your own (because Cholesterol actually has a place in body function and is not just a by-product). The studies also suggest something in eggs lowers your own cholesterol production.

All this raises questions about how significant diet is versus genetics, but the picture is not cut and dried. Statins are certainly indicated for people with high levels and bad LDL/HDL ratios.

Cheers for the info Psyber. Yeah my ratio was quite good.

How does this OFO bike system work? Do you ride it to a location and lock it up at the next point? Pay via card?

Seeing all these bikes dumped on the news...... surely they have some sort of ID/bond system?
