JUNK FOOD-------KILLING OURSELVES WITH KINDNESS


Many food varieties consumed by youth (especially campusers) today falls in this category.This is food with either too much salt or sugar or oil or two or three of these.Much has been said about this food but most of us are consuming it relentlessly.This is surprising and not surprising at the same time.Surprising because you only need to understand the meaning of the word "junk" to know that it is not good.Not surprising because of the obvious:This food is delicious. This means it is almost impossible to quit this food leaving us with one alternative : to reduce the amount we consume.I do not want to go into writing about the reasons why you shouldn't bacause I do not want to sound like a prophet ofdoom. I advise you to eat 'real' food for lunch and supper and a little junk at breakfast and none between the meals. This warning is very important especially because the effects of junk food are incurable.The problem is most of what is available in eat-outs today is junk.But thera is no excuse for not taking a precaution when warned. Do not kill yourself because you eat what you heart wants .Eat with your head .WATCH WHAT YOU EAT!!!!!!!

KING OF ROMANTIC COMEDY


You probably would not be surprised to read that not many British actors and actresses make it in Hollywood. I wouldn't either.But it is the reasons that critics use that I find untrue.It is alledged that Brits lack both the commitment and talent to make it there.As you are reading this you could be smiling or frowning depending on which movies you have watched.Well I believe this is unfair(like you guessed).
I do not know what criteria they use to determine who is good but I know that criteria does not come better than "interesting".After all it is the main reason we watch movies!!!!!!!! So basing on that approved criteria(approved by you and I), Hugh Grant is the second to none in what he does. Although his classic good looks make him a shoo-in for romantic leads, Grant's comic capabilities -- marked by a nervous stutter, desperately fluttering eyelids, and an ability to capture a brand of distinctly English embarrassment -- have marked him as more of a comic performer than any one else.
Movies do not come better than "2 wedding and a funeral","Notting Hill","Bridget Jones dairy",I could go on and on.This man has been a revelation.
And of course you act best what you are.This man is naturally funny. If you are not conviced,read the following quotes:
"I don't particularly like babies. I don't mind them for about four minutes. That's my max. After that I can't quite see what everyone's fussing about."
"I could do with more mobbing, Particularly from women. I'd like to be treated like
Ricky Martyn.
That may be trivia but basing on his recent movies,I have no doubt that this gentleman with a trademark British accent is the King of Romantic Comedy.

ARSENAL GOT THE CUP BUT NOT THE GLORY



I know you are thinking it is the cup that matters but I will go on to write for one simple reason: You will go on to read.I talked to an Arsenal fan after the match(I am that courageous) and I was surprised to hear him brag that his team had done what he expected them to do.Well ...I did not have anything else to say...I never have much to say to such fellows.I am not just jealous (like you think)but after that performance,Arsenal fans should not be worried, they should be very worried.

LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN

After watching yesterday's dramatic end to the 04/05 English premier league season, my cousin wondered how he was going to survive the next few months with out it.I laughed at him but now I cannot help but feel the same way.It has been a season to remember especially for the Chelsea fans.Whatever the price of success is , Abramovich has paid it for Chelsea.Arsenal and United have been shadows of their former selves despite a few tantalizing displays. I cannot forget this season's battle against relegation where every team had a realistic chance to survive up to the end.If you had into a coma at the beginning of he season and woken up yesterday, you would have thought West Brom are the champions ;atleast judging from the celebrations.They became the first team to survive after being at the bottom at the turn of the year. This is why I love the English game; the unpredictability,the teams' characters and the drama on and off-field drama.There is no better league:These gentlemen are extraordinary!!!

SAYING EVERYTHING BUT ANYTHING

a syndrome common in politicians and sportsmen
Have you ever listened to some one and then wondered what they are talking about?
Well I have.Politicians think every one who is listening to them is simple minded(like they are).
Sports men can be for given because of the unpridictable nature of sports: they cannot lisk to commit themselves.Many have fallenvictim of this syndrome: no price for guessing who tops this list.
Beckham!! On being asked by a hyper British journalist whether he thought England would win world cup 2002, he said,
"England will win the world if we win the rest of our games."
Many of his partners in crime have said similar things notably;
'Leeds is a great club and it's been my home for years, even though I live in Middlesbrough.' * Jonathan Woodgate
'Germany are a very difficult team to play...they had 11 internationals out there today.' - Steve Lomas
'The Brazilians were South America, and the Ukranians will be more European.' - Phil Neville
'Sometimes in football you have to score goals.' - Thierry Henry
'I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in football.' Les Ferdinand
"We were a little bit outnumbered there, it was two against two."

'Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.' - David Beckham
The one who tops the list for politicians has never attended any Geography lessons;an Australian minister said,
"Most of Australia's imports come from overseas."
Other notable ones follow:Politics gives guys so much power that they tend to behave badly around women. And I hope I never get into that. --William J. Clinton - Bill Clinton
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book. -- Ronald Reagan
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. --
Ronald Reagan
and many more have said things and left me with the same knowledge I had on some thing like before listening to them.
