Not a problem when I'm on the bike but for your average bus user that's a lot of calories not to get used. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44142 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:47:10 +0000 kaputnik 44142@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If wasabi peas are the answer to the pension pot problem then I am looking forward to retirement </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44126 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:35:40 +0000 chdot 44126@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> RadioForthNews: </p> <p>Next generation of Scots will be so fat it'll cost the NHS £3billion a year to look after them - 40% will be classed as obese by 2030. </p> <p>"</p> <p>Original Tweet: <a href="http://twitter.com/RadioForthNews/status/129058951756128257" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/RadioForthNews/status/129058951756128257</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44115 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 03:58:36 +0000 custard 44115@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>its the answer to the pension crisis ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44109 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:01:30 +0000 gembo 44109@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Kirst - someone at work gave me some of those Japanese peas yesterday- the wasabi flavour went right down my nose - quite painful [tho cleared a headache] - very similar to my experience of picked onion monster munch but without the furry fingers afterwards </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44107 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 22:23:08 +0000 Kirst 44107@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, what do they expect? It's not like they've made any attempt to improve the weather. They can't expect us to eat salad in a howling gale.</p> <p>I was in Greece for 2 weeks in September, and the day we came back, we were sitting under a tree in 28C heat eating fresh figs from the tree. We flew back to Newcastle and were sitting on the platform in the pissing rain waiting for a train home eating pickled onion Monster Munch. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44100 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:56:01 +0000 wee folding bike 44100@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fat tax? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44098 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:03:44 +0000 crowriver 44098@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Extra strong ones.</em></p> <p>With really stout stilts on flyovers, like elephant's legs. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44097 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:53:26 +0000 chdot 44097@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"The answer to this, of course, is to build more motorways"</p> <p>Extra strong ones. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4230#post-44096 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:49:00 +0000 crowriver 44096@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks like Scotland is 'world class' in the obesity stakes.
