Another one in the eye from evil pie - Not being deliberately argumentative - Who are you trying to kid?
Before I deal with you lets deal with Daniel Negranu - who said today on twitter that if he was down to his last $5000 he would get a job, work 70 hours a week and build up a bank roll.
Very commendable I'm sure. Would anybody seriously want to employ a poker player who managed to get himself down to $5000, especially if he was honest at the interview and explained he was only there to get a poker bank roll together. I rarely tweet back but in this instance could not resist. I told him that if I was down to $5000 - I'd have $4900 more than I have now.
Well you know what it's like once you start, I just had to have another go at him, kinda like him and dislike him at the same time.
I tweeted: If I was down to $5000 dollars I'd go out and have the best hooker in this town, which would leave me with $4,970 dollars. I had to stop myself at this point as, had I continued I wouldn't have been able to get on with my work saving the planet.
Now Evil Pie, you will have to realise that sometimes grown ups lie too, especially to get a point over.
But do you seriously think that I could pull off a lie of that magnitude with the whole world looking on. I know you have amazing confidence in me, but even I had to tell the truth on this one.
It works something like this. Long before the advent of the internet and mobile phones from the period of 1939 to 1945 we were at war with Germany. It just so happened that there was a shortage of food here, because we are an island nation. The government, proper people, not like the government of today, took the decision to ration food. There wasn't much meat about, there was actually a case of man in Ealing eating his mother in law, but that's another story.
Anyway to get back to the point. because rationing continued after the war until 1953.
14 years in all, a population of 48,000,000 people (bless them) lived on a diet of mainly vegetables, consumed less meat in a month than Evil Pie eats in a day, and rarely laid eyes on an egg. This was indeed an honest trial of a diet. In 1953 the population of Great Britain was fitter than it had ever been before, and were an average of 7lb lighter. Children's diets were enhanced with Cod Liver Oil. The British dug for Victory, and as everyone knows they kept calm and carried on. In my book
www.truthaboutfood.co.uk the evidence is corroborated by the work of Strom and Jensen
Mortality from Circulatory Diseases in Norway 1940 to 1945 the same effects were mirrored in a shorter period.
What's happening at the moment, is your life is being hi-jacked by multinationals who take real food and turn it into absolute crap and charge you a fortune for it. Terrorism is nothing compared to what these fast food outlets are doing to you. The bankers might have stolen your money, but these unscrupulous bastards are taking the food out of your and your children's mouths.
Trust me there really is a bigger picture out there. While your thinking this El Sid's a bit of a sheister, they are picking your pocket and offering you a buy one get one free.
Watch what you eat and look after yourself, because things are about to get worse, and the worst thing to happen to anyone when the Great Depression proper arrives, is to fall ill.
All the best, sorry it's only a short reply, but am about to send an E Mail to the managing director of Tesco's about the disgusting over-refrigeration of vegetables.
I know you do a lot of moaning on this site, maybe it's time you started moaning about what really matters. All the best Evil Pie, save and prosper, eat well and avoid all carbonated drinks.
Yours, always truthfully, El Sid.
