  1. How do i stop smoking?

    I've tried unsuccesfully for some time now and can't crack it. Anyone have any wonder cures?

    Fairly backtracking here, but have you tried gradually cutting down one by one until you feel you only need one a day?

    You could try nicotine/tobacco free herbal cigarettes - you get them in Holland and Barrett. I think I saw a marshmallow flavoured mix in there too if you like rollies...

  2. Have you tried tofu? Outside of the 'meat substitutes' nuts are high in protein (I know guys doing weight training who used to eat tonnes of peanut butter for breakfast). It varies but most beans are high in protein and soy milk is pretty high protein too. When I am cooking and looking to bulk up food go to the tinned pulses aisle and buy loads of different types of beans. They are great for making chilli/bolognese/burritos and soups with. Also somewhat bizarrely cheese strings have a fair amount of protein and are pretty low in fat.

    Also you must be buying cheap protein powder. The stuff I have isn't too bad at all (I have tried various myprotein products due to a handy discount I got a while back). You can also get meal replacement shakes and other stuff like flapjacks/cookies/bars that are high in protein and usually taste fine if you want a bit of variety instead of just protein shakes., it's just the weird dry texture that makes them hard to eat.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have tried tofu and it tastes good, but I try to avoid anything with soy in it because of the apparent risks I've been reading about. No idea whether to believe it or not.

    I buy "Pulsin' Pea Protein Powder" and it tastes awful (it takes me over an hour to eat breakfast because of this), but I mostly look for natural stuff and haven't found an alternative yet. Only problem with beans is that they tent to bloat my stomach at times and nuts are too high in fat to have more than a handful in a day. I forgot about the protein bars though! Will have to get myself some.

    I do wonder if tofu is good for you in very small quantities...

    And Chris, choc milk = high in sugar. I'm fussy like that, though it does taste good. Bean casserole could be an idea, thanks!

  3. Hate the taste/consistency of meat, Quorn just reminds me how much I dislike meat (and chemicals), but I stomach it anyway... Eggs are smelly and can't be eaten for every meal, so end up living on disgusting protein powders so I don't die. Suggestions, anyone?

  4. Gine Rinehart. The fucking cancer of humanity. If there was there one person I wish I could see lose all their money and never ever make it off the streets again, it would be this cunt.

    First this: http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-richest-woman-20120830,0,3323996.story

    And if that wasn't bad enough, now this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-19487985

    I hope her AIDs gets cancer that starts in her face and puts her into locked in syndrome and she invests her entire $ 30 billion into finding a cure for but she dies 5 minutes after they tell her that they've found the cure but it'll take 10 minutes to prepare.

    She inherited her billions, which means she didn't really have to work for anything. How can she have the nerve to imply that people are sitting on their arses doing nothing to earn money? I can't with this woman.

    LOL, "If you're jealous of those with more money, don't just sit there and complain". I'm so jealous of her, especially her smokin' hot body that she clearly worked very hard for and it's clear to me that she did not sit on her arse for a moment. She could do with waking the fuck up and realising that there are many people who try, but can't achieve what she has for fucking obvious reasons.

  5. Out of fear of sounding like a moron, I dislike seeing exes passing by. It's like I need to be mentally prepared beforehand, although it's not so bad when you see them lying on the ground outside some bar with an unfortunate looking chick.

  6. My BT phonebill used to come through to me as "Mrs". They actually refused to change it. Said they weren't allowed unless I want to the effort of posting them scans of my photographic ID. That sounded like a bit of a pain in the bollocks, so I wrote to some high up dickhead at BT and told them to get fucked. Said I'd gotten a better deal with Sky who could also spell my name. They changed it gave me £15 on my account. I don't know why it takes a high level complaint to get shit done, but it pays to do it sometimes. Freebies and compensation. I'm like the Robin Hood of consumerism. Except I don't share.

    You should have posted them photographic evidence of your nut-satchel and they would have probably changed it without you having to fanny around phoning them.

  7. Not really a pet hate, but I don't appreciate people getting my name wrong. I ordered something online and they've somehow managed to put the delivery info in my invoice through as 'Mr' before my quite fucking obviously female name, even though it's just an exchange...

  8. I've been near people who just generally smell like they've bathed in their own sweat... I don't get it. Pretty sure if the guy showered properly once or twice a day there wouldn't be enough time for bacteria to build up and cause a stink that was so awful.

    Or maybe men are all just smelly creatures, I dunno. :p
