Re: Getting muscly instead of losing weight

Every sport requires a specific kind of fitness: 100m sprinters need speed, marathon runners require endurance. Boxers need flexibility, speed and endurance. But the original question related to how one looks. If one is slightly overweight you must take in a few less calories than you expend. That i...

Re: Getting Muscly Instead Of Losing Weight

That's why in my view regular training is a key point.

Well if that strategy works for you, that is all that matters.

Re: Calls For Increasing Local Birth Rates By FNC

I'm not sure to what standard Emiratis are generally educated but it shouldn't matter anyway.

I have found that it is generally a lack of the work ethic due to having so much handed on a plate.

Re: Calls For Increasing Local Birth Rates By FNC

"that qualifies one to become a Director, CEO, GM?"

Well I didn't say that but I was trying to point out that a change of attitude is required. In Oman, Bahrain, Egypt etc, locals will do ordinary jobs such as driving a taxi. Does that happen in the UAE?

Chocoholic ,



No probs there. They are married now. Just trying to make the transition a bit easier as my future is uncertain and it makes more sense as the kids live with their mother.



Thanks for your help.

That missing Sailor

Can anybody tell me what the latest is on the missing British Sailor?

I'm not particularly following the case but it seems to have gone very quiet. I was reminded of it when somebody mentioned it at work. It must be terrible for his family at home.
