Do you just throw all of that in a blender or what?

Reading up on it, apparently you're not even meant to peel them. Wash them, leave the skins on, and feck them into a blender :eek:

Notice any difference since you've been on it?

Hard to say really. I'm feeling pretty decent although probably drinking slightly less booze at the moment. Also quit smoking so should probably be feeling worse.

I reckon I'm getting a decent placebo effect at least.

Exactly yeah. I add in a fair bit of water to make it a bit thinner and it's pretty drinkable. Apparently adding lemon juice can make it nicer, have also heard of people putting in ginger.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find anything beets-wise except those pre-cooked ones

We've a new entry on Knex's often forgotten about to-do list:

- Buy a blender.

Any suggestions? Would be vying for cheap over fancy, tbh.

Can't wait to see Wolf Of Wall Street. Going to see it tomorrow afternoon.

Hoping to watch it tomorrow night myself, 3 hours is too much of a commitment for me mid-week

Have my annual review with my TL and manager this afternoon. My company has lifted it's pay freeze so it will be including a salary review and on the bonus that will be paid in March. I'm pretty sure I've score top marks across the board so should get the maximum available for both!

Best of luck buddy!

Not to be passing judgement on your friend/relative but it is a bit much to expect everyone to wear a tux isn't it?

The Black Oil

No idea...it's my sister who's getting married. I just do what I'm told. :pac:

Morning all, crappy enough out there this morning though it is Friday so yippee!

Quiet weekend on the cards for me. Gym in the morning and my folks are due to come up for Sunday dinner so it will be another grog free weekend!

D'Agger

Well I didn't make the gym this morning but I cleaned up the PC, backed up files and it's ready to be wiped this weekend, plus the Christmas tree is put away so productive enough.

Gym after work, maybe a glass of wine or two and Wolf of Wall St. relaxing until Sunday when I've a match, first of the year, should be a tough 60 mins

I know, I know... Not into wine myself, but suddenly this bottle just came out of nowhere, so you wouldn't say no... I am weak! And then mojitos for a fiver. We were hammered before nightfall Head is alright.

Now, when does dating become something more regular? Last Saturday wasn't really a proper date.... :pac:

Hit off instead of snooze on my alarm this morning, and as I've been pretty tired recently and not getting much sleep, woke back up at 7.55.

My bus leaves at 8.15, approx a 12 min fast walk from the house.

Managed to get a shower in, get ready, brush my teeth etc, and made it on time. That there, Gentlemen, is the joys of being a man.

:cool:

Kudos on your manly feat sir!

I'd have booked a taxi and taken my leisure whilst smoking a bubble pipe...except in the shower obviously

Snooze is the word of the devil - I have never worked well with it - I am one of those people who have a loud alarm clock on the OPPOSITE side of the room from the bed. It is the only way for me.
