It’s almost the end of September so Goodwin Smith has released its Autumn/winter collection for men. They’re a decent quality shoe company that believes in hand stitching and decent quality soles. It also believes in keeping prices realistic; I’m not suggesting that … Continue reading Hot shoe shuffle
It’s probably a bit late to get that beach body into shape by now, particularly if, like me, you’re significantly rather than a bit over 35. So here’s a good idea I’ve been sent from someone trying to prevent so-called “swimmer’s ear” – I haven’t tried it, can’t vouch for it but the principle sounds great.

An excellent and balanced article on a number of diets (OK, 10 to be precise) and their strengths and weaknesses. Few are without merit completely but many have their claims exaggerated. I’ve had success on the 5×2 mostly because it reduces the calorie intake overall, which is kind of how you lose weight.
