Flippant and dismissive as usual. Annoying.

Sorry to hear that, about the heart attack, good to hear you're on the mend now though.

Something like that understandably puts things into perspective I suppose.

Has inspired me also. I think I'll put aside my previous annoyance with the medical personnel and get myself scheduled for another check up. I will slap the fucker if he mentions my diet again though!

it wasn't pizza per se...it was "your pseudo-erudite reviews of fucking shopping mall pizza joints"

*cough*

Is there actually any truth in the link between stress levels and cholesterol? I'm not even brave enough to see if there is a link between air pollution and cholesterol! Apparently high AQI can also lead to liver damage over the years. Lovely for us all in more polluted climes!

Apparently so.


"There is compelling evidence that your level of stress can cause an increase in bad cholesterol indirectly."

In that case, mine should lower in 2 months when the holidays start.

Tomcat, do us all a favour and drop out of this thread please.

We all know you are a petulant bitch, no need to prove it further.

As it happens, I have my cholesterol checked as part of my annual physical: 147. HDL a bit low and LDL a bit high...been that way for years; more than one doctor has suggested genes at work...

Indeed....Nidhogg appears to be not far off having a heart attack, despite only being in his 50s. Most likely as a result of eating meat and what I would call crap food all his life, and thinking he was eating reasonably well. With a bit of patience, I will have no problem outlasting him.

I have the genes for longevity, as my paternal grandfather carked it at 95, and his paternal grandfather made 100.

Nidhodd has the genes for heart problems and curmudgeonliness. QED.

He has had a heart attack so that post is just utterly cnutish.

Also even if you do live to 100 it'll likely be alone and miserable because you're an extraordinarily petty and spiteful little man. So there's that.

...that's rich, coming from Ant, the forum cvnt.

And petty ? Your TEN YEAR ongoing argument with Smeg on this forum, together with your hypervigilance in regard to any personal slight shows you to be utterly petty.

Not to mention a wanker.


Piss off back to your Datsun, wanker.

Yes, extraordinarily so. A petty, spiteful, and vindictive little man.

Piss off back to your lonely little life, pollidge chucker.

That reply took you a full five minutes, oh hypervigilant one.


Nidhogg dishes out the crap, he gets it back. As you do also, dimwit.

Yeah nah but it just didn't though. Probably 30 sec or so tops. Are you a slow typist?

Oh wait no I get it you're monitoring my posts and timing my responses from yours. Not hypervigilant at all.

Cool story pollidge chucker.

Now it's time for your regularly scheduled tantrum and cries about going back to faux-'Ignore!'.

Nid has posted of his near fatal heart attack, recovery, and major diet and health changes since the event. Was a very good thread, and well followed. Sorry you never saw it and simply posted an attack. Par for the course. Oatmeal?

Ironic the the bitch and the fishwife are doing all the bitching. lol

Did they eat meat?

They certainly weren't as pear-shaped as you showed you are, in your "flowerpot-for-a-head" photo about 5 years ago.

How's the weight around your midriff now, Mr Pear ? Omentum fat is a serious warning signal that a heart attack is on the way.

You’ll give yourself a choronary worrying about others, dispensing unqualified and inaccurate advice and ignoring your ignore list.
Mop yer brow and get some lovely Aussie stake down your scrawny neck.

Stake ? Really ?

If you are referring to my being vegetarian, possibly you mean steak ?

But then, you seldom read, do you ? And when you do, you don't pay attention to trivial details like spelling, do you ?

You utter plank.

Good frigging grief, I knew the difference in that spelling by grade 4.

You didn't answer the question so I'll answer it for you.
Yes they did. And they still lived to a ripe old age.
