Fact Of The Day

Vending machines kill more than 10 people a year.

(In comparison, sharks kill 5).

So next time you go to buy that snack, think twice.

You have been warned!

Fact Of The Day

In 1977, a 13-year old child found a tooth growing out of his left foot.

Looking Fly for Thai

Nothing like a bit of controversy to start off the very first Looking Fly for Thai.

When Kate Moss revealed this motto that she lives her life by it did anger a lot of people, but if people want to lose weight then they will. It is how you go about doing it that is important, and I must reiterate that there is nothing pro-anorexia about 'Looking Fly for Thai'. It is merely a fun way to encourage and motivate those wanting to lose weight in a healthy way J

Besides nothing will taste as good as being skinny in Thailand will feel (just saying).

Thinspiration

As some of you may or may not be aware, even though avid readers of my blog should already know as I mentioned it in a previous post, I am off to Thailand in 6 short weeks.

One of my amazing and most beautiful friends, Pippa, loaned me the money, as it would have been a few weeks before I was able to get the money together, to pay for the flights. As such, I am now working like a dog in a local pub and restaurant to get the money to pay her back. It’s so much better working when you know you’re getting something incredible at the other end of it. So with every hour that passes by, it’s another £6.08 towards Thailand…slowly but surely.

Anyhow, back to the purpose of this post.

Six girls and I will be spending two of the most fun weeks of our lives in the Land of Thai. 

The prospect of a bikini holiday throws even the skinniest of girls into a pre-holiday whirlwind of manic dieting and rigorous exercise, myself included. I have already vowed that unless I feel comfortable getting on the plane in a bikini then I’m not going!

The amazing and most beautiful friend I mentioned earlier, Pippa, is currently on the last leg of her travelling in New Zealand and is doing her own pre-holiday dieting on the other side of the world. Now being this amazing friend, and with the colossal time difference, it just so happens that most mornings I, along with my other friends lucky enough to have Pippa on BBM, wake up to a ‘Thinspiration’ picture from her that spurs us on for the rest of the day.

For those slightly denser readers who may not know the meaning of thinspiration, I have sourced a definition from one of the most academic and prestigious online dictionary’s- the Urban Dictionary.

As all 7 of the girls going to Thailand are currently on our pre-holiday diet, and with the creative muse from Pippa and her thinspiration pictures I have come up with a new idea for my blog. We all know the famous sayings, “No carbs before Marbs”, “No pizza before Ibiza” etc. etc.

Now I have come up with my own. Get ready for this one, I really feel it’s going to take off….

‘Looking Fly for Thai’

You heard it here first, a LikeWise original. Copyright on that bad boy!

Every day (or near enough every day) I will be posting a thinspiration picture or quote to do my bit for the pre-holiday dieting girls (and guys) out there.

(But remember girls –and guys- all diets in moderation and do it safely. This is no pro-anorexia site, just a helpful momentum to keep you going).

Tune in later today for the very first Looking Fly for Thai.

Fact Of The Day

The world's youngest parents were aged 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910.

Seriously funny

I watched a film recently called ‘Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close’, now as it happens it wasn’t an amazing film because I can’t actually remember what it’s about. However, there is one scene in it where a Father and Son are duelling using oxymoron’s.

For those of you who are unsure, an oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction – cheers Oxford Dictionary!

I can guarantee that every single person reading this will use an oxymoron at least once a week and most probably without even realising it. They are common place in the English language nowadays.

If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you will know that I am meant to be doing an 18,000 word dissertation as a conclusion to my Master’s degree, which is why I am more than happy to sit here and put together a list of some of the best oxymoron’s!

Fact Of The Day

Babies are born without kneecaps. they don't appear until the child reaches 2-6 years of age.

"I've got to wait 2-6 years?!"

Fact Of The Day

Male bats have the highest rate of homosexuality of any mammal. 

How now brown cow.

As it has been such a long time since any of my Facts Of The Day, and as I mentioned in my previous post, I am taking full responsibility for all of you looking dim and ignorant at social occasions.  And I am truly feeling the burden of this responsibility.

As a result, I have compiled a list of ten words and phrases that you can drop into any conversation to immediately make you seem more scholarly and astute, thus saving you from looking like the unintelligible acquaintance from the hills.

1.      Inquire

E.g. I would like to inquire how much a Jagerbomb is.

2.      Hence

E.g. I drank so much last night, hence why I’m feeling so ill today.

3.      Adjacent.

E.g. McDonalds is adjacent to TopShop.

4.      Avant-garde.

      E.g. Lady GaGa has a very avant-garde fashion sense.

5.      As it were.

E.g. You were right about her, she’s taught many guys how to ride a bike, as it were.

6.      Be that as it may.

E.g. I only met him for a few hours, but, be that as it may, he should have text me after last night.

7.      Indubitably.

E.g. He was indubitably an absolute hotty.

8.      On the contrary.

E.g. I wasn’t revising last night, on the contrary, I was in Oceana.

9.      Nonetheless.

E.g. I don’t remember a single thing about last night, nonetheless that surely means I had an amazing time.

10.   Superfluous

E.g. She kissed a superfluous amount of guys last night.

No need to thank me now.

Admission of guilt

Okay, so my last so called ‘Fact Of The Day’ was nearly a month ago! Sincere apologies to all my avid fans who have missed out on 28 new facts that would have, undoubtedly, been astounding. I hope you’ve all managed to get through the last 28 days without looking too stupid with your lack of inane facts, if not, I take full responsibility and vow to never let this happen again.

You may, or may not, be interested to know what I have been up to, but you’re going to find out anyway.

I have finally finished my time at University in Leeds now… apart from the slight, and tiny problem of an 18,000 word dissertation. So as you can imagine this has been taking up much of my time, although regrettably not as much of my time as I would have liked. The recent sunshine which brought with it a rare optimum tanning time, alongside catching up with friends, has somewhat distracted me from more important things!

But as the sun has disappeared, and with it my bank balance, I have been on the hunt for a job. Now I know what you might be thinking; I’ve just finished a Masters, so what exciting, well-paid, career-driven job will I get?

… If you guessed shifts in a local pub/restaurant you’d be right! What better way to prove how much 20 years of education has paid off?

However, this is just a temporary thing. With my dream of being the ever eternal Peter Pan, I have managed to delay joining the ‘real’ world for at least another year or two with plots of travelling. I have no plans on being a grown up anytime soon!

And so, this pub work is just a means to an end: Pulling pints in Wales one minute, downing pints in Thailand the next!

That sums up my life recently, have you guys been up to anything exciting?
