@CoachDanGo This was in a UK documentary. They tracked individuals who just didn’t ever seem to change weight despite ‘terrible’ diets. Factors included: same food daily (chap had lunch in his car), not finishing meals (lady had McD’s everyday but never finished it) and pickled foods!

The biggest cheat code is eating the same meals every day. It's been shown to reduce total calorie intake by 40%. You make less food decisions meaning you rely less on willpower. The leanest people I know aren't aiming for variety. They're eating similar meals every day.

@UzoPamela1 @aakashgupta Agree, percussion in general. The peripheral stuff going on with percussion playing is extremely impactful.

@aakashgupta Interesting! What about drumming? Too noisy? Does it have any impact on the long run?

Piano and language are the only two childhood activities where the cognitive transfer effects have been replicated in 50+ years of research. And parents picked them by accident. Piano forces bilateral motor coordination. Your left hand and right hand play different rhythms simultaneously, which builds the corpus callosum, the bridge between your two brain hemispheres. Kids who trained piano for 3+ years showed 25% thicker corpus callosum fibers on MRI. That connectivity doesn't just help with music. It transfers to math, spatial reasoning, and reading comprehension. Language does something different but equally permanent. Learning a second language before age 12 physically rewires the prefrontal cortex for task switching. Bilingual kids don't just speak two languages. Their brains develop a stronger executive control system because they're constantly suppressing one language while activating another. That suppression circuit is the same one you use for impulse control, long-term planning, and filtering distractions. The parents who forced these two specific activities had no idea about corpus callosum thickness or prefrontal cortex remodeling. They just thought piano was "cultured" and languages were "practical." They accidentally picked the only two childhood skill investments with permanent neurological returns. The kids who hated those lessons the most are now the adults with the strongest cognitive hardware for everything that has nothing to do with piano or French.

@OBEhizele The one in Forest Hill (behind the fire station) was all snooker, darts, tuck shop and TV. I remember we all got together round that TV for the premier of MJ’s Black or White music video 🪩

The ones that did well had clear authority structures. I remember St Andrews Centre (Brockley) was a great space back in the day. Probably because it was church based, which implicitly carried a culture.

On the matter of youth clubs. Am I the only one who grew up during an era where some were hubs for conflict? Many across inner London were embedded within estates, they weren’t neutral spaces. They were territorially situated. You were safer playing video games at home.

@mervpayne Thanks Merv.

Perfectly put

@mervpayne Yeah I feel it’s going to be a vote for the club as well as just a player of the season. Cooper represents that, with all we’ve been through and where we want to go.

Cooper for me

@AchtungMillwall This has made my day!! 👏 🏏 💻

This is a great idea 👏🏻

@philclarke0170 Also put Cooper up in the box for the throw and left us exposed at the back for the goal

Still struggling to get my head around the 3/4 long throws from Zak in succession. The first one closest to box didn’t reach intended target. So we decided to pursue with same tactic despite moving back 10 yards for each one. Think one led to a goal. Just poor decision making from us today.

@Karl_Bates Tbf I have felt this 💯 at all the away games last few months most likely as I’m much closer to the action as they are spilling their guts

Just watched remaining minutes of the game after Coburn scored If you ever wanted to see a side dig in & throw bodies on the line with blocks, tackles, headers, take a look 👀 Boro threw the kitchen sink at #Millwall but every time ⚽️ came in the box a 🦁 was on hand Superb

@ljbrameld @Chele_CPFC You ok Lynne?

@Chele_CPFC I know. Was so cross. And Boro didn’t deserve it 😡

Millwall 🤢

@_Jampot Why thank you sir 👏

You lot away sound unreal, what a club 👏🏾🦁

@_Jampot What a second half 👏 loved it

He’s gonna get the winner too isn’t he 👀

🦁

@philclarke0170 So true

Half time. The good news, we’re only 1 down. The bad news, if it wasn’t for Stretch Armstrong’s legs we’d be 4 down.

@brexitblog_info @elonmusk @Iromg You ignored the men bit

WTF?! “Apollo was all white men..” Disgusting to watch Sky reporter Thomas Moore bring race into the launch of the Artemis Moon mission. As if the original astronauts weren’t doing it on behalf of all mankind. One truly despairs at the woke mind virus. @elonmusk @Iromg

@philclarke0170 @DottyM_11 do you remember I had to cancel on you for our music/dinnr date the next day as I had whiplash 🤦🏻‍♀️

@philclarke0170 To my utter shame this happened to me at a pre season Bromley vs Millwall game. Full on in the forehead. I didn’t flinch (though I wanted to cry 😭) instead I walked to the halfway line and spent the first half recovering in the pouring rain. Was a moment.

Life and balls come at you fast… 🎯

@TomMisch Does it count if I already pre-ordered the album - which I absolutely love btw 👏

There’s a prize draw to celebrate the new album! ⭕️ store.tommisch.com

@AchtungMillwall Few things that make me smile. No need for VAR for the free kick that leads to second goal. Some things never change: A Millwall keeper doesn’t catch the ball. A Millwall number 9 missing an open goal. An annoying close range save to deny Trevor Lee at the close 👏 Love it

What a day this was 💥

@millwalljdb Still sing this every year 👏

"A witter wonderland".....very very fast.....a great defender who had a great partnership with Rhino
