I'd never heard of Dapper Laughs till he was in the news everywhere all the time. I suspect he would have just quietly faded away if the news hadn't ran with it so hard, and he would have had much less exposure.

Well if you've never heard of him then that means nobody heard of him, arbiter of youth culture that you are.

Theres probably a correlation between the amount of physical effort they go to each year though. As in, not much.

Maybe because getting to places in the city is different to in the countryside? My brother lives in Suffolk and his commute is "walk outside flat, get into car, park outside office, walk indoors and sit down" where mine in London is a fantastic roulette of busses, national rail and the underground (all with stairs and things to climb). I think you become more pedestrian if you live in the city too, like I'll walk 15 minutes to avoid getting the bus and so on. So it's probably people getting non-exercise exercise, if you get what I mean?

Yeah, although I think variety and availability of local shops is also a factor. Basildon and Thurrock, which are both basically London bedroom towns and fairly affluent by most measures, are really high on the list - but both are nasty post-war developments with almost no local shops (Basildon has one of those horrible 70s pedestrianised centres, Thurrock has Lakeside) meaning that people are basically never walking anywhere for anything, they have to drive or get the bus to the shops - that and the long commute times people living there have probably means one big weekly shop and loads of convenience foods.

It's not that cynical to believe given that there's proof of 'outside advisers' giving gifts to Federation Presidents Russia couldn't give evidence because they've forgotten their gmail passwords.

Yeah, the Aussies seem to be being hung out to dry too. Surprise, surprise, they cooperated fully with the investigator, whereas "exonerated" Russia didn't cooperate. Time for the English FA to withdraw from FIFA, I'm sure there's a few other FAs that would join a new federation to be free of Blatter and co.

The England team aren't even that profitable a proposition for the FA compared to the Premiership, but leaving FIFA would almost certainly lead to UEFA kicking them out so no more Champions League and that will never be allowed to happen. There was some hope, when Platini first took over UEFA, that UEFA might end up withdrawing en masse from FIFA, which would utterly destroy them. He's been well and truly absorbed into the FIFA high life now (to the point where he's refusing to give back the Rolex he got

How FIFA thought they could say "the people who gave us bribes are entirely innocent and the people who called us out for taking bribes deserve censure" without raising alarms I will never know. Such brass neck.

Sucrose is sucrose. Fructose is fructose. Whether it comes from a banana or canned processed pork brain doesnt matter to your gut where everything has already been homogenized twice over. And the difference between the mars bar and a banana is the fat content. Where the bananas has next to no fat the mars bar has saturated fat. In all ways the sugar they provide is functionally exactly the same where digestion is concerned. And 'Refined Processed Sugar' is naturally occuring, its just purified into pure sugar so your mars bar doesnt taste like golden syrup or molasses.

Is there? While there are some small benefits to Organic Food or Natural Sugar, most of the nutritionist information I can find says they're really not that different and it's more about getting a balanced diet than how natural the food in your diet is. Processed food is bad for you because a lot of salt or sugar is added to it, not because it's processed. A banana is better for you than a Mars Bar because a Banana has Vitamins and Fiber on top of that sugar, while a Mars bar is pretty much just sugar and fat.

Are there any products in the UK that use HFCS though? I thought HFCS overuse in the US was a symptom of the ridiculous subsidies that Maize growers get and the need to find something profitable to do with the glut of Maize, and the UK lacking that kind of Maize overproduction and the cheapness of homegrown sugarbeet means that good old sucrose is far cheaper and more plentiful, no?

Most fruit contains between 40-55% fructose and the rest glucose. Sucrose is 50/50 fructose/glucose. Most HFCS is 55/45 fructose/glucose. So on the face of it there is not a huge amount of difference. Which type of sugar is worse for you (glucose or fructose) depends who you ask. In truth the amount matters a lot more than they type of sugar though. Whether it comes from fruit or sucrose or HFCS, we all eat way too much simple carbohydrates.

This completed passed me by until I heard people were celebrating it was cancelled. He seems to be saying it was like the pub landlord where it was mocking the people who ended up liking it, but looking at the live show clip that looks a bit bollocks. Any thoughts? The beginning of the interview he doesn't come across in the best way though - "Do you think what you say promotes rape?" "We were really popular with a certain audience."
