ALRIGHT IT'S TIME FOR A MASS EXPERIMENT.
So Brucie swears by it and I've had a quick bash, how do you fancy...
.... reversing the ageing process, feeling generally amazing, having shiny haire, hair coming back that had decided to say bye bye and prolonging your life maybe for up to another three or four hundred years.
It's all based on a book entitled.
THE ANCIENT SECRET OF THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
It consists of a regime involving five excerices. All you have to do is make sure these are carried out every day for up to twenty minutes every day for the rest of your life.
It has been scientifically proven to give considerable health benefits.
No gym, no personal trainers, no more money to be layed out, no more anything just you and your amazing self.
I'm gonna start next Monday.
get your book, or go on line and try to fidn the excercies there.

P.s There will Be Blood, saw it with my mum and wife yesterday, v.g. movie, powerful powerful stuff.
P.p.s. Beth has her first streak of proper non-fluffy dog hair along the ridge of her back. A bit sad really.

Well anything is worth a try to keep the youthful look but i think no mattewr what you try old age is going to creep up and get you one day
Go to hear Beth is growing up they dont seem to stay pups for long all of a sudden you will have a fully grown G/S but she will still be great fun to have around the place.
Oh hurrah I'm off to Eason's forthwith for me Study Of Ancient Life.
I'll report back tomorrow when I've crawled in at 3am with sick in me hair and toffee nut latte down me front, havin' bin' tossed around the Irish Sea like Johnny Depp in a gale force wind, and still with a face like a bloodhound chewin' a thistle.
All that and Renee's Special eggy bread for breakfast, liberally sprinkled with Vim.
Don't talk to ME about anti-agein' workouts.
Clodagh.xx
got it!
I have printed them off and will start tonight.
Am all for giving it a good go.
I like the look of the first one.... Phoebe from Friends Style Spinning. I can do that all round the garden!
Watch out for photos on my blog of me doing it!
Proper job one and all
Exercising and living to 300. Maybe as a Mummy!
LOVED ´óÏó´«Ã½ 3 or was it Four on TV last night, a Howards Way special. I so luved that programme.
Thanks Big Bump for explaining the Chas and Dave thing on Face book. As previously explained It's just another site where I am barred unfortunatley.
Anyway Buenos Noches all

Yo Christoof man,
Bingo Star ere.
This new book sounds very exciting in all areas. I need all he 'elp I can get ter stop the grey 'airs spreading!!!!!!
Only thing does the daily regime/ exercises involve sitting in front of a large mirror, cross legged, for 20 mins per day, with a mud pack mixture freash outta yer garden, while 'aving Chesney 'awkes & The One & Only on repeat play & pointing at yersen, winking & sayin with a big smile "terdee is the day.... YOU are the one & only"!!!!!!!!!!
Already do that friend........ everydee!!!!
Chow!
PS Any chance some Newton Faulkner & Ageing Superhero or Spleen United & In Peak Fitness Condition - both most youthfully arranged pieces of instrumental 'appiness!
Please can we have some growing up pics of Beth. Sure you must have taken some:)
I know I'm just being stupid but why does Chris always sign off CLP? I'm sure it's obvious, but not to me! Would love to know the answer. Thanks
Ah CLP, that's how I felt when I dropped off our little man to nursery for the first time. Kind of sad when they grow up whether they are furry babies or the other kind.
My eldest, by the way, joined facebook today and invited me to be a friend. Good idea or bad idea? Bless him, time will tell.
Had a bit of a dip recently with feeling bloody low and awful. I must do something really nice with little man tomorrow and sort myself out.
Love to all
Debbie x x
PS. Last David Attenborough program tonight for those interested.
PPS. Clare, CLP stands for Christophe Lambie Pie.
Ello ALL,
Bingo Star ere.
It's all very well all this CLP talk Claire Burrows & Debbie BUT what does Christophe Lambie Pie stand for....... aye????? Ayyyye????????????
CLP Man - I don't know what it means....... what does it mean?????
Chow!
Evening all
Well, Day 1 in New Job over and done with. And d'ya know what ... I really enjoyed it! The outgoing postholder is very negative about things but then that's probably why she's the "outgoing" postholder! (Outgoing as in leaving the company, not party party party outgoing!!)
Lots of spreadsheets, phone calls and general officey stuff. Yep - think I'm gonna like it there!
Thanks to everyone who left good luck messages - I didn't brave the internet situation today - thought I'd see how the land lies before I go down that route!
Debbie - chin up pet. It sounds like the time is right for you to move to pastures new - and you've mentioned in previous posts that Mr Debbie has promised to support you in every way possible.
And Debbie - thank you. You know what for!
Right, dinner calls .......

wahay....
...I've got a date for my surgery (April 15th), both knees too hopefully!!
The end is in sight my friends and I'm bloomin' well chuffed.
It was around that date last year I first started blogging too!!
Hope you're all well. I'm still gloating about Spurs to anyone I see
Bonnet de douche
KWx
CtD - so glad your first day went well!
Gingembre - hurrah!
Debbie - thinking of you, praying for sunshine and blue skies to cheer you up :) I'm sure they'll come along once you're away from Mr Nasty. Hope your eldest has thought of the possibility that being able to see your FB profile could potentially be embarrassing?!
Had a quick look at that website (thanks DWNB!) and it looks terrifying!!!! Actually some of it looks very much like the class I do at the gym, which I can't do anyway due to having little or no balancing ability and a sudden dramatic loss of ability to do anything resembling sit-ups. The down dog I can just about do (grief I feel about 3 times my age). I intend to try the Phoebe-style spinning tomorrow and will report back on how many times I fall into the wall/chair/floor afterwards.
It's the 20 minutes a day every day for the rest of your life that I expect would be the killer. I have physio exercises that I'm supposed to do for pain relief and if I can't even muster the motivation to do them what am I going to be like with exercises that have no immediate benefit at all?!
Just another manic monday :)
Right, off to waddle up the stairs (VERY full after a 25-hour-late sunday roast dinner) to lie on the bed and watch the Time Team special. What a perfect end to a day. :)
xxJeni
Hi CLP and evry1 else
I'm all for reversing the ageing process - but I think my shining pate may be a lost cause.
I like the look of the exercises. Sitting here at my PC I have all the best intentions of getting up tomorrow and giving them a go for 15 mins.
I'll probably do it. I may even continue to do it as I believe that the motivation for exercise is inversely proportional to the amount of money you spend on it. After all, I spent over £300 on a gym membership and became a regular visitor of the members only cafe bar (really nice latte)
To answer "A Viewer's" question about my link - I don't know if Chris has seen it yet, I hope so, it was made especially!
Take care everyone
PeeBee
PS My wife's just reminded me of the rowing machine that I got for xmas is already being used as a clothes horse. At least I took it out of its box (that made me sweat!)
Feeling just a little down one and all
I know we all do at times but for me this is a rather life changing experience.
I always turn to music at times like this.
Take me to a place in the sun
Where everyone smiles
and life always fun.
Pour out the wine
Put your hand in mine
Lets dance to the memories
of time gone by.
hiya chris after reading your blog i decided to investigate.
i found a website for those who cannot afford the book or cant get it, the web site has the five tibetan exersises to help with good health and also has illustrations.
good luck with your challenge chris hope you have good results, i am going to try this too as the exersizes are easyyyyy peasyyyyyyyy
the secret to staying young is think young....or hang around with younger people,im not into to much exercise i ll just watch everyone else if you dont mind
Sorry, dudes and duettes & Big Chief - stuck in meetings all day yesterday - thanks for the kind words, Red, (Claire??)who knows . . .
So, another weekend of new experiences; life, loves and happiness intertwined with cocktails, beer and the odd G&T or two. Walking through the streets of a prosperous Co. Tyrone market town at 2.00 in the Sunday AM, earnestly searching for an eager horseless carriage to whisk us homewards, conversation and thoughts drifted; meandered from the extreme to the ridiculous and eventually focused on past loves and missed opportunities.
A hazy sunny Sunday followed with a rather fruity rioja accompanying the afternoon roast, skill-fully yet effortlessly prepared by a loving mother, overjoyed having her handsome off-spring ensconced for the weekend; unusual in the extreme and a rarity, but nonetheless a welcome and pleasant, if brief, escape from the sprawling metropolis of Belfast.
Onwards and upwards for the coming week – back to the daily grindstone of the office computer, petty arguments and dodging egos . .
On a much happier note, a big thank you very much for my tune at the start of All-Request Friday – Huey Lewis and the News NEVER sounded better!! Mucho gracie . . big chief CLP . .

Tuesday joke:
Sister Mary Katherine entered the Monastery of Silence The Priest said, "Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so."
Sister Mary Katherine lived in the monastery for 5 years before the Priest said to her, "Sister Mary Katherine, you have been here for 5 years. You can speak two words."
Sister Mary Katherine said, "Hard bed."
"I'm sorry to hear that," the Priest said, "We will get you a better bed."
After another 5 years, Sister Mary Katherine was called by the Priest. "You may say another two words, Sister Mary Katherine.
"Cold food," said Sister Mary Katherine, and the Priest assured her that the food would be better in the future.
On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the Priest again called Sister Mary Katherine into his office. "You may say two words today."
"I quit," said Sister Mary Katherine.
"It's probably best", said the Priest, "You've done bugger all but moan since you've been here."
Greetings Of Elloness Ter ALL,
Bingo Star ere.
CLP - Still wondering what Christophe Lambie Pie means? Is it french or ter do with steak & kidney, chicken n' mushroom or vegtabayle pies?????
Gingembre - Good Luck with your operatation!!!!!
Debbie - Change job - ave been there with idiot, power trippin' bosses, there's alot around sadly. They seem ter get managment jobs just ter boost their sad egos.
Best thing I ever did was change job Deb - know what am sayin'!!!!!
PS I think David Jordon is good too. Reminds me of Prince in sound & looks!
Prof Plum - Sorry if yer under the weather abit... being a pisces yer birthdee must be due soon!! We're in pisces now - one of the nicest star signs in my opinion.... alotta pleasant top celebs birthdees at pres.... Brucies for starters!!!!!
Eres a very bad Bingo joke ter cheer yer up Prof!!!!!!!
I needed me shoes re-soleing so I popped inter a shop with the sign 'Cobblers' above it!
Dropped me shows off, sorry shoes, & collected them the next day......
Only problem they'd attached a cobble stone ter the underside area of each shoe........
WRONG TYPE OF COBBLERS!!!!!!!!!!
I felt weighed down, weighed down blog friends!!!!
Chow!
Dang the rollocks and splice the mainbrace I'm back.
And wait while I tell yous. the highlight of this particular trip to the spectacularly gorgeous Antrim Coast was I got caught in a shoot-out on the main road en route from Belfast back to Dublin!!! How exciting!!!
Well ok, I'm exaggerating, it wasn't exactly a shoot-out, no blood was actually spilt (boo) but guns and 4 police cars were involved, hands on deck, lots of shouting, lots of nee-naw-nee-naws, people bundled into back of van, etc., hurrah!
So don't talk to ME about your friends Starkers and Crutch, CLP, I was Daisy bloody Duke for a minute there. I'm only ragin' I wasn't taken hostage. Mind you, the daughter would have been very annoyed indeed if she'd 'ad a ransom note instead of meself this morning, and as the brother-outlaw pointed out (rather hurtfully I thought), it would indeed be bastard bad luck to be desperate enough to take a hostage, only to get me.
Harsh but fair I suppose.
Now then Bingo. This CLP business goes back some years. I can remember because a) I'm an old trout and b) because my brain has a truly astonishing capacity to retain useless shite for years which makes me a godsend on the pub quiz team.
It comes from the erstwhile handsome, hunky and brooding French actor, Christophe Lambert, what with his dark and sinister broodiness, thick head of hair and his six-pack, you can see the connection to our Ginger Leader, and from thence morphed into Christophe LambPie.
And this ageing conundrum. It's simple. Forget wrinkle creams, the secret of youth is to remain extraordinarily childish.
Righty-o. Where's me sugar puffs. The daughter is due any minute and I have to stick 'em all over me face and tell her I've caught impetigo.
Clodagh.xx
I'm a bit sceptical about 'magic' anti-ageing spells - just eat healthily, do a bit of exercise and stay happy. Or reach for the botox.
Debbie - go for it, girl. Life's too short to spend the majority of your day in the presence of a complete pig. Also, son's facebook - it's sweet that he added you but are you sure you're ready to read his status updates??
Clodagh and Bingo - you two make me laugh!!
Gingembre - I know what you mean. I've been walking around like I'm 10 feet tall since Sunday.
PP - chin up, chuck.
It's lovely and sunny in Leicester - hope you're enjoying a bit of premature springtime wherever you are.
Rosie x
Ah the sun is shining, the ground is soggy underfoot, and I've decided not to set foot outdoors this morning. Unless I feel like it.
Thinking of all of yous down in the dumps, chin up, and know that the bloggers love you!
Hip hip hooray for a chirpy Tuesday.

PS RosieRoo yep I'm that Jeni!

Debbie - I've been trying to blog on here for days now but keep getting BP'd, but I'm going for it today! I just wanted to say thanks for the welcome back ...... due to various work stuff and home circs being slightly awry of late, I've just not been able to blog on here, but I've been a lurker in the best sense of the word!
I think you should got for it Debbie - you can do it!!!!!
jillygoat xx
Great jokes on here today one and all
DTM, CLODAGH, BINGO thanks for making me smile. Yesterday was a bad day, I can't really explain or you might think me even more crazy than I am already. At such times I tend to part with things precious as if to shrug off the past. So I have advertised my old guitar on Ebay.
and Bingo another Birthday looms indeed. This year my daughter has arranged an overnight mystery trip we meet at Waterloo and I don't know what happens from there. Can't wait!

We gave you advice on your date - which sounded like it went really well. Now, please, I'd like you to return the favour and tell me a forty something singleton who is thinking about dipping toes back into the murky waters of dating, how do I go about meeting someone like yourself?
I'm grateful for any advices - not just from D-t-M but from any of you out there...
Back into the land of dating after about 15 years of not, gosh, how scarey is that.
Thanking you all in anticipation of all the masses of advice you're all going to post now...
jx
Hey, j, I've just dived back in after 26 years of happy marriage (sadly now a widower) as a fifty-something, and scary though it was at first, you soon relax and get over that pretty quickly.
I've been very lucky - I have now met someone via one of the biggest Internet dating sites that I really like (and who seems to like me, too) and feel comfortable with. It's still early days, but I do feel that taking the plunge was the best thing I could have done. I now feel that life is worth living again.
Don't expect too much too soon, though. Enjoy the journey... It's actually fun finding out how to date again, although REALLY scary at first! It made me remember what being a teenager felt like, and that was fun in itself.
So, my advice to you is "just do it" - but do take a lot of care. Don't believe everything you're told until the person has shown that they're worthy of your trust, and heed all the advice you'll be given about meeting strangers safely.
