We sound pretty similar, on my last check up I was @46 for resting heartrate and I exercise 4 or 5 times a week but in my conservatory where I have a running machine, exercise bike and rower........... gets harder though the older I get

My best was 44, and the cardiologist couldn't stop going on about it. Now whenever i have a check for something, they always end up saying, do you know you have a low resting heartrate. Apparently it is a good thing and means a long life, that is unless i have trouble on the motorbike. I don't drink or smoke, don't eat junk food, or any fried stuff, so my only vice if it is one is the means of transport.

You just have to be careful on a cycle in the UK @Space Lynx. i have cycled a lot and never really had a problem. Just make sure you use hand signals, and have lights on, specially now it is dark early.

Yeah a long life if everything else goes well and we don't pick up anything nasty on the journey

My cousin in Shropshire lived to be almost 100. He walked every day in the park for 30 minutes a day, even in his 90's, he ate two bananas a day, and took a shot of sherry before bed each night. Had Guinness with lunch every day, and his lunched were from the local pub, fried junk daily. lol

I hope I have his genetics. I try to do one banana a day because of him though, and someday I might take up his shot of sherry before bed at night.

Apparently my irish family genetics are pretty good. My nanna smoked 60 park drive a day and lived over 90, my dad is in his late 70's, and still fine. I have a couple of errors, but nothing major, bad back from accident as a yoof, hypothyroidism, and double vision which is caused by a muscle problem, otherwise all good till my 90's

How early? Light here typically 8am to about 4pm here for Nov, Dec, and Jan Hardest thing about winter.

@AusWolf Hope all is well. Losing loved ones is hard.

Accents do not belong in a text based conversation, how dare you.
Anyway..What was Jaguar thinking with their new logo. In fact every company has lost their minds with creativity with logos.

I managed to work out the 1st half, the other half sounded like complete gibberish.

Perhaps it's my flawed Russian ears that perceive rural Britspeak this way. Initially wanted to master RP but ended up talking like a semi-American semi-Russian sky high redneck.

Thanks for the thought. I've just arrived back to the UK. It was nice to see my dad and help him with all I could, but whatever is happening in my soul is... I don't know... I feel like a part of me died with my mom.

I don't trust any pre-made microwave stuff. Spag bol is made with real meat, chopped tomatoes and my own herbs and spices. Cooking can be therapeutic, too.

Also, I've never understood why some people eat pasta with (garlic) bread. It seems like more of the pointless "carbs with carbs" thing we discussed earlier.

As for Morrisons products, try their Morrisons Best pizzas. Those are really amazing!

Flavor and experience. Pasta and garlic breads have very different flavor profiles, obviously. It's as much about the enjoyment as it is about the necessity of nutrition..

Bread doesn't add much to flavour, not that a well-cooked bolognese needs more anyway. Each to their own, I guess.

Really? I love French bread with light garlic, basil and butter seasoning. Difference in taste palettes maybe?

I do too. I just mean it doesn't add much to the flavour of an already flavourful dish.

For me textures are as much a part of eating as flavour.
I like a nice garlic bread when I have a pasta dish

I haven't been to Greggs yet on this trip, think I will go there today. They have some decent new holiday themed drinks for only 2.49 that look decent. I will say this though, I went to a small town cafe recently and had a sausage roll, and it was twice as good as Greggs sausage rolls. I also can't order the pizza ever again from Greggs, not after eating the one @the54thvoid recommended imported from Italy, was 10/10 and about the same cost as Gregg's since it comes two in a box, Gregg's pizza never came close to that one.

So, the question is, what should I get from Greggs besides one of the festive drinks? Triple Chocolate Muffin?

Nothing.

If you want the best 'Greggs experience' without the Greggs price and Greggs disappointment. Find yourself your nearest Morrisons that has their own bakery inside. Everything is made fresh! Look for all the stuff you'd normally see in Greggs like the chicken & mushroom or steak & Potato bakes, pasties. sausage rolls etc etc

Greggs today isnt the same as they were 20 years ago - Back then they used to be good. A lot of their products now are made by some factory somewhere then frozen and distributed to individual branches and heated up when they need to stock the shelf. (none of their sandwiches are even made on site)

The only time you eat from Greggs is if youre too drunk off your tits after a night out/spectating a local football game or on the verge of dying from starvation. In which case, that chicken slice will be your last testament supper.

distrusted to individual branches

Sounds suspicious

going to take your advice and just avoid them, yeah that sounds pretty bad.

They even do steak & ale and chicken pies. Well worth your money
