    I believe a certain world famous golfer uses the golf buggy instead of walking.

    could never quite understand why electric caddies came along ... or the buggy ...

    but then I never did understand golf ... why hit the flippin ball if all you're going to do is chase after it ... ?! If you want to hit it again and again - get a dog trained to retrieve it ... or tie it on a bit of string.

    I can see how it’s happening. You can get a movie on a streaming service, so you don’t have to go to a cinema, order a takeaway, and get it delivered, without having to walk further than your front door, and spend hours, sat down doing nothing, and eating calorie dense food. It’s never going to end well.

    Kids these days should take a leaf from your book and cycle everywhere with a 40kg backpack. That'd soon whip them into shape!

    :lol::lol:

    BTW - can someone give me a link to where I can get a full chinese for £2.50? I'm definitely up for that..

    I live in Hong Kong and even I can't get a full Chinese dinner for that price!

    A golfer might question why a cyclist would cycle 100 miles and achieve nothing but ending up back where they started from!

    But yes, golf buggies are tragic along with their users.......

    Check out "Primate Change" by Vybarr Cregan-Reid.

    Basically a book on how we are now adapting (evolving) to the changes we have made in the world

    Sure but 35,000 years is insufficient time for evolution in humans let alone since the end of rationing.

    Oh and £10bn a year to treat diabetes in the UK. We're not evolving, we're devolving.

    Tried to post the picture of man evolving/devolving but Google is playing silly beggars.
    Sad, but accurate.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    10 of the best places to try a freakshake in the UK.

    the Unicorn freakshake has 1,280 kcal per serving, more than half the daily recommended amount of calories for an adult and four times PHE’s proposed calorie limit. An average 25-year-old would need to jog for nearly three hours or vacuum the house for five hours to burn off the calories, Action on Sugar said.

    But it's plenty of time for the bugs inside us to have adapted / evolved to exploit both us and the freely available calories...
