Eating subway is the opposite of losing weight cuz you can just pack it full of extra toppings and sauces and it doesn't even cost extra #lifehaks

The human gallbladder is indeed a puzzle!
There was this "myth" of Subway being a healthier choice when it comes to fast foods in the past, I dunno if that is still around but that meatball marinara sub with Italian bread doesn't strike me as that, sir Subway.

The turkey or chicken subs look reasonable, calorie-wise. 6' Chicken Sub is like 302 Calories a Turkey breast is 216.

That being said, there wasn't a single time I entered a Subway and left with less than footlong marinara meatballs and some snacks like cookies or crisps (lolfat) in the past.

Good afternoon. May I suggest reaching out for some help with your drinking - my brother recently did, and he's doing really, really well and also looking a million times better even after only a couple of months. He used this: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/other-services/Alcohol-addiction/LocationSearch/1805 and from there they were pretty good. It was cold turkey with a shitload of benzos for a week to counteract withdrawals, and after that some follow-up and group counseling stuff and it has worked for him.

Thanks for your concern m8. I am currently engaging with the local alcohol recovery place. In a strange way covid has helped with that. No group sessions, 1 on 1 telephone convos only. At the same time I GENUINLY can't picture my life without alcohol.

I know my drinking is problematic, and it affects the people I care about in a negative way, but I cannot imagine going through the rest of my life without it.

The best sandwich I had today was a ham salad sandwich while scrunched up in a heap at a bus stop in Catterick, having just walked from Richmond, which was far more than my legs are used to.

I was pathetically happy when the bus came.

I had some loving amazing spicy vegetable soup with warm bread and butter from a bakery last week after a big bike ride.

Im sure it was only middling in the food quality chart but it tasted incredible after 4 days of biking in the rain.

I go to subway for easy not as overpriced salads. I'd buy lunch for my boss and he'd pay me back but I'd get all the points so I was getting a free salad a week.

It was based of that american bloke, and the problem with that (other than, well, you know) is that he was very obese, like >30st, and when you're that big you can still lose a poo poo load of weight while eating a fair few calories because your maintenance is so much higher. The same doesn't apply to someone literally half that weight trying to lose a few pounds.

Yes, Jared Fogle - originally the spokesman for Subway. and now serving 15 years in federal prison for possessing child pornography and traveling to pay for sex with minors. Hence the 'nonce' comment earlier.

I do poo poo on Subway, but the veg patty thing they had in NZ was an acceptable lazy lunch break option, especially as they had a drivethrough and one time I scraped a trailer through and knocked over their menu signs

Not sure if the patties are in the UK because I refuse to pay £5 for a sandwich when we have some awesome independent bakeries here that die the exact same thing for half the price

I don't have a TV license, never have, because I don't want to watch any 'traditional' TV. Looked up the rules today to see if there was anywhere I could watch the Tour, and it turns out you need a license to watch *anything* live. Even if it's on loving YouTube.

From what I can gather, I'm breaking the rules if I watch someone streaming on loving Facebook. Wtf.

nah that doesnt sound right? must be some distinction between available as broadcast or not? As in the stuff you watch on youtube is not directly completely the same watchable content as available on broadcast (aerials!)?

You might be right, infact you probably are because it sounded insane. I guess it comes down to the definition of "TV"

"Live TV means any programme you watch or record as it’s being shown on TV or live on an online TV service. It’s not just live events like sport, news and music. It also covers soaps, series, documentaries and even movies.

An online TV service is any streaming or smart TV service, website or app that lets you watch live TV over the internet. This includes services like All 4, Sky Go, Virgin Media, Now TV, BT TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and ITV Hub."

Either way, I'm never getting one. Their threatening letters are outrageous. Particularily fond of the one made up to look like a fake court order.

welp I don't have anywhere else to post this so I shall post it here. My grandad was born in 1933, he left school at 15 with no quals and pretty soon after joined the army. At 18 years old the army sent him to Korea, in 1951. yeah.

I think being in the armt helped 'shape' my grandad into the person he became. He was/is still very proud of his service. Why I am posting this is cause I remember the first or so time I got drunk with my gramps, I asked him the obvious question.

So grandad

yeah

you know you were in the army right?

yeah

did you ever have to kill anyone.

He did not answer the question, he just gave me this look which seemed to convey: 'don't ask stupid questions kid'

n we didnt ever speak of that again.

I dont see how live premier league matches can be part of it when was the last time they were on free to air tv?

I have a tv license, i think, because my sister in law chickened out when my parents were visiting at xmas and knew theyd want to watch proper telly. They live in france and steal it all through a massive satellite dish lol.

I also get letters every couple of weeks to my building site tellying me they are going to get me. Because i'm poo poo, my building site is a shipping container and a broken digger in a hole with no services.
