Hypnotism Helps Battle of the Bulge
It’s been a while since I last posted any details of my ongoing battle with my (previously) expanding waist line and lots has happened.
The first thing to report is that I have managed to shed around 10lbs since I embarked on my new weight-loss campaign back in September 2009. Before the Christmas holidays I’d managed [...]Birthday Cakes Create Havoc with Weight Loss Plan
It’s been a few weeks since I last posted any details of how my weight-loss plan has been going. This is because it came to a grinding halt and then went into full speed reverse with a week of liquid lunches and a weekend binge on kebabs and fast food.

More Warnings Please
So we are about to see new, graphic warnings on cigarette packets presenting the grizzly effects that smoking has upon the human body. Good idea. If it contributes towards people kicking the habit then it’s a good thing, in my opinion.
We here at Amateur Brain Surgery think that the visual warning system should be extended [...]
