In other words, leave home worried that you'll miss the bell for last orders, incentive enough to arrive out of breath.

Who cares about calories? so long as you have enough energy to drag your fat arse down to the pub why worry?

It was you with that Boom Box that annoyed everyone within three streets then? (Could never understand those things, a package case on your shoulder full of about 12 expensive batteries, just to annoy the neighbors.

Would have been cheaper just to throw bricks at their windows).

(weighing in between 10.5 -15 kg).

Combats, helmet, body armour, boots.
You would have been real fun when it came to Brucie and his conveyor belt wouldn't you, most folk were happy with the cuddly toy!
