    Dochas.ie have a weekly newsletter in which jobs are advertised. It really depends what skills you have though. Doctors, nutritionists, agronomists, and engineers are usually sought after, as well as people with specific training in international development, economics and research.

    Just at a social level to be honest. Like I said, I've only really been actively trying to get fit in the last two years. I'm still at 18% bodyfat but compared to what I was (in the overweight range) that's allright, and my plan is to get down to 12% this summer, maybe 10% if I push hard enough. Only went back playing rugby last season so I'm pretty ****e tbh, spent most of it rehabing old injuries.

    TBH at anything below J2 level fitness means feck all. I could be the fittest person in the squad but still be absolutely shocking. The fitness thing is a bit rugby related, but mostly just personal. I'm 28 now and I feel if I don't get into top shape now it'll just get harder with each year that goes by.

    Gas...i'm leaving the thirties in a few weeks and it suddenly dawned on me that the weight has crept on the past few years. Was slightly over 13 stone and was only going one way. Just over a fortnight ago i decided to eat slightly more healthily - cut out the sweets, crisps, coffee in the morning with a muffin.

    Tipping now at 12 stone 8 - that's with no exercise, just a removal of crappy foods. I'm on a protein shake mixed with fruit in the mornings and no carbs in the evening (pasta and spuds at 7 p.m aren't great tbh).

    Next plan is to incorporate some exercise into the mix...probably will rejoin the carlisle gym as i live about 2 mins from it and get back into the habit of swimming. It's amazing even what a decent walk or jog every day can do.

    Funny that the wife has a friend who is 45. She walks everywhere and does a 5k jog every morning. She went on holidays to greece this year and posted pics of herself on FB, in a bikini sporting a full six pack - wife said she wasn't a bit jealous - her eating habits and exercise plan this last month would suggest otherwise...

    Its not every day you get an ultrasound done on the liathroidi. Fairly pissed off at the hanging around though. The scan was done at 3 but i haven't heard boo from anyone since. Just want to go home at this stage

    That's great, fair play.

    Now, about these pics...

    Same here, big four oh coming very soon! I got back into exercise this year, would have been around the 13 stone too, cycling 3-4 times a week with the odd run and I droppped to 12 in about 3 months, not eating any less but definitely healthier. It's amazing what a bit of exercise does for the metabolism. If you're exercising enough you'll need those carbs and protein in the evening too...

    Only in Switzerland...

    So there's a wild bear out in the local forests which has been ravaging the sheep, and even took out a couple of donkeys (!). I would have thought a gun + bullet (or some other form of stopping the beer eg zoo) would have been in order. But in fact, it went to arbitration at the local council. As the bear had "only" taken out 20 sheep in the last month, this did not reach the threshold of 24 sheep, and the bear was spared. But it's on notice not to get too greedy... I wonder what the threshold for small children is per month?!

    Wonderful. In the absence of having children of my own, I take great pleasure in seeing my nephews and nieces cringe at my dad jokes. I needed more material. I've been living off the same ones for too long.

    Two fish in a tank, one turns to the other and says "I'll man the gun, you drive".

    2 dyslexics in the car...one says "can you smell petrol?"...the other says "i can't even smell my own name!!"

    The same 2 lads are out on the town - one says "i could eat a McDonalds"..the other says "you spell it, i'll pay for it"..the other says "fcuk it, we'll have a kcf!!"

    *apologies to any dyslexics - they were the first 2 jokes that came to mind*:o

    Best of luck. For the best in the grand scheme. One less to get caught in your fly when drunk.

    All the best with it.
