Spice up your Christmas and lose those extra pounds..

With the Christmas season now underway, here are three changes to your lifestyle that will help keep the weight down over the next month.

Spicy Food -Include lots of spices and chillies in your diet, it’s great for weight loss, hot food helps to speed up your metabolism. And as a bonus, it makes you feel fuller for longer due to the spices stimulating your taste buds, making you less likely to reach for the snacks and choccy’s afterwards..
Water - Drink 3.5 pints of water per day, water is the fuel that drives metabolism’s chemical reactions and speeds it up. So, if you’re not drinking enough, you won’t burn as many calories as you can..alcohol doesn’t count, steer clear of those Christmas booze-ups (read why the Government want to ban happy hours).
Walking - Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes per day burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke.

As mentioned in a previous article, obesity kills 9,000 a year in the UK alone, so follow the above easy tips and have a great lead up to the big day.

Michael Caine Reveals What Happened at the End of The Italian Job

Posted: 02 Dec 2008 01:44 AM CST

Michael Caine has given his opinion on what happened at the ending of one of the most British films in history.

The Italian Job finished had the ultimate cliff-hanger ending – it featured a bus full of gold on the edge of a cliff. Now Caine, the star of the film, thinks he knows how his character would have got out of the situation intact.

Caine said he would have saved them by “switching on the engine”, burning off petrol until it righted itself.

“I crawl up, switch on the engine and stay there for four hours until all the petrol runs out,” he said.
“The van bounces back up so we can all get out, but then the gold goes over.”

Caine even reveals how this would have led to a sequel. He said, "There are a load of Corsican Mafia at the bottom watching the whole thing with binoculars. They grab the gold, and then the sequel is us chasing it.”

Caine's theory come as the Royal Society of Chemistry holds a competition to use science to find out what would have happened at the end of the film.

Christine Bleakey out of Strictly, straight on the booze

After being saved last week by the viewers, One Show presenter, Christine Bleakley was this week told by the judge’s she simply wasn’t good enough to be in the competition, she followed Jodie Kidd who went out last week.

Arlene Phillips said Bleakley’s dance partner, Matthew Cutler, moved Christine around like a "rag doll".

‘Not sharp enough, generally all the way through. The spine lacked any sort of tension and aggression to tell that story,’ said Craig Revel-Horwood. ‘I think that at this point in the competition, sadly that wasn’t good enough.’

Christine later said: "I thought I'd go in the first week. It's been incredible."

Miss Bleakley was later seen leaving Mayfair nightclub Mahiki at 4am after drinking over £4500 of cocktails with friends, including BBC co-presenter Adrian Chiles.

Delia Smith Gives Dangerous Turkey Advice

Posted: 02 Dec 2008 01:00 AM CST

Celebrity Chef, Delia Smith, has been criticised for giving people bad turkey advice. The chef said that those without enough storage space in their fridges can keep cooked turkeys cool in the back of their cars and garden sheds. Food safety experts warned that this advice could lead to fatalities.

Delia said: “So if you’ve got a garage or if you’ve got a garden shed - and if you haven’t got either and you live in a flat, run down to the car park and stick it in the boot of a car and it will stay cool all night.”

The Food Standards Agency warned The Daily Mirror that not chilling cooked poultry quickly and keep it refrigerated might “permit growth of bacteria which survive cooking.This could be fatal for the young, elderly and those with long-term illnesses.”

Recently, Delia criticised other celebrity chefs for endorsing particular brands. She said she was in a position of trust and therefore never did any advertising. What do you think? Has the turkey storage advice had an effect on her ‘position of trust’? Let us know in the comments below.

John Barrowman Flashes BBC Interviewer

Posted: 02 Dec 2008 12:33 AM CST

Daily Mail shocked at skin on display… on Radio 1.

Yes let me say that again, the good old Daily Mail is leading with the headline “BBC in new decency row…” as Torchwood and Doctor Who megastar John Barrowman flashes his penis to interviewers Annie mac and Nick Grimshaw on The Switch last night.

This shockingly disgusting radio interview was aired before the watershed at 8.15pm and is obviously another sign the BBC should be shut down and replaced with the soothing picture of a waterfall. yes, there was a webcam in the studio, but amazingly Barrowman made sure his “fruit and nuts” were out of shot until a producer covered the webcam up.

Next time, though, perhaps the interviewer should think about what he’s asking… “You're famous, we're told, for getting your willy out in interviews. Is this going to happen today? Should Annie be careful?‘

Yes Nick, I think she should.

(A tip of the hat to the Daily Mail).

Punting for the Christmas presents

Posted: 01 Dec 2008 01:21 PM CST

The betting bank was again topped up at the weekend when it was a fourth consecutive winning Saturday for Daily Dust punters. Following a few losers during the week, normal service was resumed with three winners obliging from four bets – the yankee almost landed!

An updated log of all the bets given here so far can be seen below, but enough of the crowing, let's crack on with Tuesday's action.

It has to be said that it is pretty low-grade stuff, but a 3-1 winner pays the same whether it be Cheltenham or Lingfield, and it is the latter venue that provides the first bet of the day in Muktasb (1.30).

Some of you may recall this consistent sprinter who was advised here a few weeks ago when finishing like a rocket, but all too late. Some horses need to be ridden that way as they like to pass other horses which gives them confidence, but makes life tricky for the jockey. However, Adam Kirby who has ridden him the last three times when placed, but can finally get it get right today.

Those of you with a nervous disposition may not want to watch the race as it will be a tense final few furlongs, so viewing the result may prove a safer option!

The next race on the card should be more straightforward with just the six runners where Rulesn'regulations (2.00) can follow up his victory at Wolverhampton a month ago.

This juvenile made mincemeat out of another of today's rivals, Satwa Street, that day and can confirm that form of the same weights, while the remaining four runners – two of whom are unraced – will have to produce something special to halt him.

The final bet comes an hour later at the Surrey venue where in-form jockey George Baker – who delivered the goods on one of the Daily Dust's Saturday winners Millfield – can showcase his talents on Titan Triumph (3.00).

There is no great story behind this colt other than that he has won his last two outings over course and distance and is still favourably weighted on a handicap mark of 76 having won off 75 last November.

The results shown below are a full account of every bet given here in recent weeks using a £10 stake as a guide:

“Rabbit rabbit bunny jabber yup rabbit” - You’re Nicked

Posted: 01 Dec 2008 10:41 AM CST

A man who sang a Chas ‘n Dave song while being arrested got 15 months..

Barry Crofts, 47, mounted a campaign of intimidation and harassment against the couple next door in the cul-de-sac of Penlon in Bagillt, Flintshire. He did this by repeatedly chanting "informers" and half singing "rabbit, rabbit, yap, yap."

Only last week we told about the man arrested for singing “Spider Pig”, the singing crooks should have followed the lead of the woman that escaped jail by giving a Policeman chocolates to apologise for beating him up..

For your benefit here are the full Chas n Dave “Rabbit” lyrics:-

TIP: Sing rabbit really quickly,.

rabbit x 20

you got a beautiful chin,
you got beautiful skin,
you got a beautiful face,
you got taste,
you got beautiful eyes,
you got beautiful thighs,
you got a lot without a doubt,
but i think bout blowin’ u out,

coz you wont stop talkin,
why don’t you give it a rest?,
you got more rabbit than sainsburys,
its time you got it off your chest,
now you is just the kinda girl to break my heart in two,
i knew right off when i first set my eyes on you,
but how was i to know you fed my earholes too?,
with your excessive talking,
your becoming a pest,

rabbit x 20

now your a wonderful girl,
you got a wonderful smell,
you got wonderful arms,
you got charm,
you got wonderful hair,
we make a wonderful pair,
now i dont mind avin a chat,
but you have to keep givin it that,

no, you wont stop talkin’,
why dont you give it a rest?,
you got more rabbit than sainsburys,
its time you got it off your chest,

now you are just the kinda girl to break my heart in two,
i knew right off wen i first set my eyes on you,
but how was i to know you fed my earholes too,
with your excessive talkin’,
your becoming a pest,
