Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.

Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.

That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.

If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.

The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.

Something needs to change.

@bensmithrugby Ireland's success isn't just down to a catchment of Dublin schools.. Irish rugby grassroots across its 4 Provinces consistently go toe to toe with the "Power Houses" of the Northern Hemisphere. Munster, Leinster and Ulster are all past European champions.. over the past 20 years

This is fantastic! This website allows you to watch TV stations from around the world. I just watched 2 minutes of Afghan volleyball. All the small regional TV stations from Germany are here too. Spread the word! Source: https://t.co/bft14a1NzA

Gym/Exercise newbies.

1. If you plan to jog or run, INVEST in trainers that are comfortable, long lasting and give plenty of cushion. You don't put scooter wheels on a bin lorry. Your converse all star or 20 year old sambas will get you injured.

2. Intervals. Read my last post. It keeps your brain interested.

3. Make a playlist. If the Rocky theme gets you through that 9/10 RPE minute, then listen to it. Songs that gets you going.

4. Don't negotiate with yourself when you get up or have finished work and say "I'll go tomorrow". Have your gear in a bag near the door ( kit, trainers, bottle, gum, small gym towel, toiletry bag, big towel) and Just. Fucking. Go. Out. The. Door. I've never seen anyone get out the door, walk 200 yards or enter the gym and not do something. When that voice says "stay in bed" or "I'll go tomorrow", that's when you NEED to go.

5. 18 and 80 year olds will chat to you within a month at a gym. It's a place where everyone in there is pushing their own boundaries and the respect you'll get from everyone will be self fulfilling. That chat and "hey, how are you?" is in itself a mental health tonic.

6. Perfume and aftershave. Never wear either in the gym. Body heat plus perfume or aftershave amplifies to become genuinely off putting to others.

7. Buy a cheap 1 litre water bottle. Sip not glug regularly in the gym. Any left after the session, chug the lot.

8. Motivation. Won't exist 90% of the sessions you do. That's the truth. But the habit of going will put you through even the hardest days when you don't fancy it, and often come out as the most satisfying sessions. I'll repeat, you will not be motivated 90% + times you exercise. But the payback when you feel incredible, recognise yourself in a mirror, have plenty of energy for yourself, friends and family is priceless. It really is.

9. Do it for you. It's your time for you. 1 hour, 30 mins, 10 mins. Fuck everything and everyone else off. You've earned the right to build yourself as you want to be. Take all the credit because only you are doing it.

10. Get an Instagram account. There are thousands of free PT Sessions, runners, weightlifters, women's sessions, peri menopausal fitness recommendations, limited ability sessions, the lot. Follow a few and let them guide you. There is no longer an excuse that you don't know what to do or eat, it's only your current habits holding you back. Change the habits and create new ones.

11. Patience. That's not an excuse to not go until next Thursday, it means having painfully small goals. You're lighting a tiny 1 twig fire that come summertime will be a roaring fire.

12. Weights. 10 reps, 3 times.

Quads ( front thigh)
Hamstrings ( back thigh)
Chest Press
Low Row
Pec Fly
Squats

13. Food/alcohol. Brutal but simple. There are no safe levels of alcohol, none. So if you're a regular or big drinker, I wouldn't bother starting. A recipe to breakdown and be frustrated. Not my place to tell anyone not to drink, but one fact remains, it will never take you to a healthier life, even 1. As for food, Google "eating for good health". Like alcohol, if you went overboard on the sweets, cheese, massively overindulged to go to the gym and be blowing out of your arse after 5 mins, it's what you're eating, not the gym and exercise that's the problem. Many who struggle mentally have horrific diets. Do you? Start there.

14. Relationship with exercise.
You exercise to feel good, be healthy and have longevity. You don't exercise so you can have an extra 2 curries in a week or extra bottle of wine. The latter destroys the ability to do the former well. Choose your hard as they say. A hard 1 hour 3 times a week that leaves you bouncing? Or 4500 calories that tasted great but leave you morbidly obese, using statins and 5 other meds. Exercise and good health destroy ailments. Why? Because your body is fucking a truly amazing tool when used properly.

15. Go for it. There's many on here who'll cheer you on. Me included.

Metal drummer Dick Verbeuren hears “Mr. Brightside” for the first time (but without the drums).

After one listen-through, he writes down the song’s structure by counting the bars and naming the parts.

Then crushes his own great version. Very cool to see his creative process.

On a recent episode of BBC Question Time, Irish MP John Finucane said that Israel "has enforced an apartheid system", stripping Palestinians of their most basic rights and dignity, and has been in breach of international law long before 7 October
