Were they not saying that the court thing tomorrow was just to decide when to restart properly? Is the 31st that again or is it the case starting again properly then?

Having now got and read the fast diet book I have decided to change my diet from being a normal calorie controlled diet with 5:2 wedged on top to trying, for a few weeks at least, a 4:3 diet with fast days on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is closer to the original alternate day fasting that was investigated in the Horizon that started the 5:2 phenomena. Main reason being that studies at the moment show that the loss in muscle that you sometimes get with normal dieting is far less pronounced with fasting and last time when I dieted normally and got down to a normal BMI I was told I looked a bit gaunt. Hopefully by going to 4:3 I will get down to my target weight without looking like a desiccated mummy at the end. Only got back to weighing myself this last Saturday and I was back where I was before Christmas so it will be interesting to see how much I lose this week compared to my previous approach.

They are just waiting for their new training equipment to arrive:

How much is the last PP? I would be odd if they can't drag things out to get that. If PKF decided not to sell FP at this point could they just say to the court "Changed our minds, no need for you to decided if this figure is correct as we are not going to sell now" and back away quietly from the court?

Well one fan's catered for with this alternative.... http://www.cafepress.com/+i_love_handbells_black_calendar_print,72240756

Wonder if the loss of the higher paid players now may just be because they realise that with them they still look like being relegated so if you are going to be relegated you might as well do it on the cheap.

Or perhaps they just want to own the grounds of an ex-football club not own a football club?

Can't see there being any immediate deal to sell the site to Tesco or anyone like that, not one that is announced anyway. One would assume who ever it was would not want to invoke the ill will of the natives by appearing to be in any way responsible for the demise of pompey.

Did they not vote on the members of some sort of creditors committee at the CVA meeting? Usual suspects + 1 to represent the small creditors? Maybe its a meeting of that committee?

In case its of any interest here is what I did/doing in probably far far too much detail.... Having slowly gone up on the waist size from 34 when I was a uni to 38 (6 foot 2 and not a beanpole 6'2" so 34 about as small as I could feasibly be) in 2008 I got to the point where the 38's were getting a bit tight and I rebelled against going to 40 inch jeans and decided to do something about it. Via a combination of generally cutting back but not specifically calorie counting, cutting out almost all booze and evening sessions on the rowing machine I got down to a 'normal' BMI after about 40 weeks (progress at time is red line on graph below, yellow is the overweight/obese BMI division and green in the overweight/normal BMI division). Two problems with this: 1) To do it I had to be rather selfish w.r.t. the rest of family about when I was going to do the rowing and 2) after all that time being disciplined on what I ate or drank on basically a daily basis it was hard to continue and I was rather bored of it being something that had to be almost constantly in my mind. Anyway after 4 year I found myself back at the same weight as before. So this time decided I would try to do things a bit differently. My aim this time was to try to loose the weight quicker and then spend more time trying to get stabilised. This coincided with the horizon on 5:2 and that it was not only good for losing weight but for maintaining the weight loss and other health benefits. Time I started in late October it was about 6 months before my 50th birthday so decided to set a very challenging target of getting down to a normal BMI by my birthday (on the chart as the grey blob on the green axis). So what I have decided to do is do a proper calorie counting diet using myfitnesspal to both calculate the calories needed and keep track of what I have eaten and then merged that with a 5:2 diet by adding in 2 fast days a week. Also to try and do at least an hour's very brisk walking 5 or more days a week. As a fairly long way from my target decided that was probably safe and my plan is to reduce the planned weight loss per week on myfitnesspal as my weight approaches normal. Once at normal plan to not do calorie counting on non-fast days and see how my weight goes. Then 3 possible scenarios. Best: Find like some people that they need to go to 6:1 to stop losing more weight, Okay: Need to continue on 5:2, Worse: Need to continue on 5:2 and still take care what I eat on the other days. Anyway the blue line is progress to date. Had planned to stop calorie counting and fast days for a week or so at Christmas but have only just recovering from 10 days of flu which has extended the time before restart fasting and stopped the exercise till recently. Not weighed myself since before Christmas but restarting fasting tomorrow so will check weight on Saturday but suspect my challenging target may be a bit too challenging now!

Surely one of their HNW piggy banks must have a large lawn?

Have you checked your router to see if it lists your iphone as one of the wifi connected devices as that would confirm at least that it is on your house?

Which CVA?

They do have their own unique way of getting back at the league.. "In your face with your 10 point deduction league, we would have been relegated without it, ha!"

Does that narrow it down in any way?

come on walsall, one more goal and the blue few drop yet another place.

If its the pompey edition do you get to call house without actually having anything?

Obviously if you go out of your way to eat high calorie foods on the non-fast days then its not going to work. I suggest you watch the horizon. Basically people just don't make up for the fast days by overeating on the non-fast days. In fact it appears that most people report their overall appetite goes down.

I was doing Monday and Wednesday but Monday and Thursday also appears to be popular. The thing about the 5:2 diet is that its supposed to be a long term change rather than something you do just to lose weight and then stop. Many people find that they end up going to a 6:1 diet once they have reached the weight they want to be to save losing more weight so the whole thing shifts from being disciplined all the time, which people find tricky, to being disciplined one or two days a week, which is easier. Plus its important to remember that their are significant benefits in terms of a lot of illnesses from doing 5:2 or similar and that its not just about the weight loss (In the horizon the weight loss was very much a secondary aim behind reducing various biological markers).

Doing 5:2 myself as I had a lot to lose and had set myself a tight deadline (50th birthday in April!) so I was combining it with calorie counting on the other days and regular long walks. Plan is to raise the non fast calorie level as I get closer to my goal and end up with not counting on the other days. Lost about 2.5 stones in just over 2 months but since then have had christmas and a bad cold/flu so only going to get back on it next week and will probably take a while to get back to where I was. Main problem I found was getting to sleep on a fast day and waking a bit earlier the day after but that sort of thing allegedly reduces over time. The bloke who did the horizon has written a book about it, currently no 1 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1780721676.

Ask them how much they have voluntarily paid to creditors.

New year resolution 1 is do not try to set any more resolutions till all the christmas food and drink has been finished.

One useful thing you could do is if you go into google maps and turn on traffic. You will see a box in the bottom left that says "Live Traffic". If you select Change you can select the time of day you are interested in and it will show what the typical traffic speeds are at that time.

Following the pompey score could turn into a dangerous drinking game the way they are going at the moment.
