Jamie’s Eat to Save Your Life

Sigh, Jamie Oliver is effecting my shopping habits, his Foul Dinners has stopped me buying chicken dippers and now he’s after my coke (the red fizzy kind of course) and chocolate consumption, the bloke deserves a knighthood, he goes places where countless other chicken welfare / health documentaries don’t go, he gets right in your face and literally shoves you in it or in tonight’s case shoves you into the fatty liver of a morbidly obese dead man.

Now my diet isn’t that bad; I buy minimal ready made processed stuff (and even less now due to chicken dippers being banished from my freezer) and don’t have that many takeaways but I eat too many bars of chocolate and I drink too much coke (although I don’t eat much else sweet stuff as I have a rule if I want cake / biscuits I have to make them first). But I don’t get anywhere near the recommended 5 a day fruit and veg (and neither do my kids either , it doesn’t help that they’re so fussy) and I am probably a little overweight (all that coke and chocolate) so although I don’t really eat that much processed food I live off cheese sandwiches and pasta. I think if my diet was on a report card it’d be a ‘C+ could improve’, I need to try, going to try and think of the fat dissected man everytime I’m tempted to visit the corner shop for my sugar fix, no way do I want to squash my lungs and heart into half the normal size of diaphragm.

Well done Jamie.

Torchwood Series 2 Episode 1

I wanted to like this but I couldn’t. Now I generally liked Torchwood series 1, my favourite episode being the one where they go into the valleys to investigate supposed alien goings on only to find the bloody murders were actually done by the locals, I also liked the episode with the pilot, I hated the cyberwoman episode but didn’t everybody? So it was with disappointment that I wasn’t totally blown away by this episode, I expected more from the Doctor Who family. I did like moments of it; as a Buffy fan I did like James Marsters and I do like his English accent, I wasn’t too impressed with his overly gaudy costume though. I’m no prude but there were also way too many references to sex, it seemed like a lazy way of filling the script.

So, just a bit of a disappointing episode, however the trailer after this week’s episode did look good, I will of course be watching again.
