I’ve not read of any studies looking at this (as in large scale double blind placebo types). Got a reference?

Studies on vitamin D + depression, knock yourself out

I take vitamin D, but only because of the terrible sun exposure chances of having an office job in Manchester.

If you have a decent varied diet, including meat, you shouldn’t really be deficient in anything.

1 tablet and buzzing? Not from the vits. Unless you got in the sun for the first time this year today?

Not got a leg to stand on.

But, on the other hand, if you just ignore them they are hardly likely to take it further.

I was going to ask something similar but decided to break with convention, do a search, and add to this thread instead of starting a new one.

I’ve been using the ones from Cafe Tutto and they seem pretty good without being outstanding. Any other recommendations out there?

Sounds like there’s a realistic chance of a counter offer. What would you do in that case?

Scandium.org

Brilliant!

Agreed njee, it’s all just aluminium alloy. Scandium has a cool name that can be used in marketing guff. Just another alloy though, no difference.

Conti gatorskins

Agreed peachos!

+1 girlfriend.

It’s a good term, especially when compared to partner etc. Don’t worry about the age thing.

24 Stations and you’d be unlucky to end up having to call all 24….

Sorry Stimpy, I was a bit thrown by the randomness of it all and scrabbling round in the garage with an upside down bike in one hand and mobile in the other! The guy was called Ben, that’s all I got.

Allthepies : I’ve got to admit I flippantly said “yeah, mine’s locked in the garage, no problem……. Er……. Actually……… Let me just check…….. Phew, I could have looked pretty foolish there”

My latest phone and was through buymobilephones and everything went through perfectly.

I’ve also used mobiles.co.uk several times with excellent service each time. As mentioned before they are the no frills online version of Carphonewarehouse.

what Duane said +1

Smell it if unsure, but almost certainly fine.

This is grim! Thanks for sharing!

Navy is fine, but I’d go for a plain dark tie as well. Echo the comments about being there being the most important thing.

Level 20 on the bleep test suggests it’s not being done properly.

If it’s on the bike fitness you want then get on your bike. A lot.

When you’re not on your bike eat loads of healthy food and sleep. A lot.

If you’ve only got a month then go for it and don’t worry too much about over training, within reason, as you have plenty of recovery time after.

Oh yes, and when you’re on your bike. A lot. Enjoy it!

What Kevster said. Or…

Few quid more get an S3

Few quid more get a Note 2 (my choice)

All awesome value.

As above, stick in the fridge fairly quickly, that’s about it.

Microwaves fine.

Again lateness

Again litter

Again turning up with a broken bike

I’ve got a very slightly sore knee, but that will probably go by the weekend. Nothing else.

32 years old, sport 5+ days a week since the year dot.

Touch wood.

If you think the flower and note method is forward then you may be in trouble.

Saying that, now that you’ve missed your first opportunity, going back for a face to face might be a bit much.

I’d swap cheesy flowers for something topical / funny. Did you chat about anything specific?

Thanks Dave, I knew I was getting something massively obvious wrong

Don’t eat cereals but do eat porridge, muesli and toast?!

I’d rather eat no breakfast than 99% of commercial breakfast products.

I do eat brekky, but go for a smoothie or eggs/bacon/sausage/grilled veg effort if I have time. Seem to do alright.

I don’t drink alcohol.

Miss it very occasionally, but overall a massively positive net outcome on life.

I’m sorry, you may have misunderstood my point, I’ll try and be a bit clearer.

My point is that yes, exactly, people had a varied diet then and that a varied diet now is also a good idea. Experts in Paleo also believe and preach this. What she seems to be doing is taking a simplified view, not supported by people who have done a lot of good work in the area, as the thing to rail against.

Her agenda is to educate the people against the hype. The experts in Paleo also educate people against the hype. What would be good is to hear her educated and informed opinion on what the Paleo experts say and NOT the hype.

edit: On Paleofantasy this is worth a read The line that sums it up for me is: Paleofantasy shouldn’t have been a book in 2013, it should have been a blog post in 2010

If the world stopped eating staple grains, would we be able to feed everyone?

No. In fact the invention of dwarf wheat by Norman Borlaug has quite probably saved more lives than anything but antibiotics, for which he won the nobel prize. Just a shame that gluten isn’t great for one.

This is a good counter review of the piece by Robb Wolf[/url]

Mr Wolf is someone who is very pro Paleo (whatever that means) and so the above provides a bit of balance.

From what I can see Cristina Warinner seems to be taking the simplified Mens Health version of evolutionary nutrition/paleo diet and making a few crowd pleasing assumtions and generalisations.

There is no one Paleo Diet. Inuits and Kalahari Bushmen will have eaten very different things for example. It’s more about using the clues we gain from understanding the foods we’ve evolved to eat and using this information to provide answers to the dietry questions we have now.

There is no one size fits all and the experts in this area have always understood this. She’s made her assumptions about what a “Paleo diet” is and is basing her argument on this. It’s complicated, it’s different for everyone, it’s fascinating. It’s also a shame because she is a bright well educated person who potentially has a lot to offer and plays the PR game well. Just one with an agenda.

But what??? Loads of singles out there!

If you like her, give it a go. If not, loads of single people out there.

If you can’t get it in a Berlingo it’s not fitting in a car!

+1 for a van.

Combi vans drive like cars, good fuel economy, cheap to hire, and as said all 3 up front!

And the ease of just bunging everything in the back.

Segway tour is awesome. Great guides and a convenient excuse to try a Segway out for the day.

…and the logos are a bit on the large side.

TK Maxx

I have different requirements to you, but I picked up a very nice leather Osprey one for a tenner in there. Loads of choice at good prices.

Or

+1 for SwiftKey

First double post, I always wondered why that happened.

Edit : Wheat belly is indeed excellent reading. As is Paleo Solution by Robb Wolf

Tests can be inconclusive. My ex had the full testing panel done. Came back negative but was clearly gluten intolerant because she had near instantaneous symptoms every time she had gluten.

Elimination diet 100% Give it a month without diary / dairy and bread. See how you feel and then try reintroducing back. Bring back dairy first as this intolerance is often caused by gluten induced gut permeability.

On the bright side you’ve probably identified something that has the potential to cause you serious health problems down the line. Your actions now may add years to your life.

+1 for a silicone sealant. You don’t need much.
