Forget Atkins, Zone, South Beach etc!

Well all (ladies in particular, perhaps!), I have good news and bad news on how to lose weight without the need to diet or exercise. It's 100% safe and completely true!

While reading (yet) another book in the library, I discovered that I have lost weight simply by moving to Singapore! Yes, it's true. Moving to the equator automatically makes you lighter - it's a scientific fact (non-geeks skip ahead to next paragraph!). It's because the centripetal force (which counteracts gravity) generated by the rotation of the earth is maximised around the equator.

Since I'm only about 1 degree above the equator, I'm reaping practically all of the rewards! That's the good news. The bad news is that its only in the region of 0.1% of body weight compared to living in Ireland. Every bit helps though, eh girls?!!!!!

Yes you really needed to lose weight given your chronic obesity. I hope the footpaths are in good order, otherwise you might fall through the cracks. On the bright side you'll be able to shop in all the same stores as the lady boys.

I'll bow to your superior knowledge of lady boys, Tiger!

I don't think the 75 odd grams (1/6 of a pound!) that I'm lighter here puts me in much greater peril, but I'll certainly take greater care when out walking!!!
