Now I think a picture says a thousand words, so no story needed here. All you need to know is the burger weighed 6.8kg, the extras weighed 2.3kg and the dude pictured took 4hrs and 39mins. What I think is slightly strange is the guy doesn't look particularly weird/fat, but saying that the world champ hot dog man Takeru Kobayashi, is ripped (you have to search for yourself, but his eating habits are very funny, he almost takes 'I could eat a horse' too far).
The World Open squash competition is on at the mo, which is disappointing for me: I mean I am not patriotic and if I could I would love not be English (I don't think I can be proud of this country), however we are good at squash: we had 3 English men in the last 8, 6 in the last 16, 10 in the last 32. Its currently being played now, so will keep you posted. The women has a similar situation with 2 English ladies in the semi-final, hence a guaranteed finalist. So not only have we got significant representation in this competition, it's the WORLD OPEN and it's held in Manchester!! Yet no-one gives two shiny shits about it! BBC has no coverage, nor Sky, just some timid reports on squashsite.co.uk and a weak link if you search hard on the BBC sportpage. Justice at times, doesnt exist!
Moan over, but frustration is the name of the game. On a way more boring note (yes it's possible) the title of Masters thesis is Hematopoietic Serine Proteases: a Functional and Evolutionary Analysis......yes I hear the yawn from here, but the techniques and science behind it is very interesting, the word 'Evolutionary' would make me run away in the blink of an eye. However its interesting in terms of these serine proteases (enzymes that chops up stuff), as Im hopefully going to determine how many millions of years ago this gene diverged, as its conserved among species, from cow, dog to platypus etc. So thats part of it, ok.....probably sounds boring still, but I'm looking forward to it.
Any thing else...hmm....not really, will enter some more squash tournaments soon, we are looking forward to moving in to our new apartment. Johanna's dad and brother are tradesmen, so will come up and give it a 'make over': gunna be like those DIY programs, but less gay.
On that note, looking forward to the bulk of this weekend.....writing a minireview on epigenetics.....christ I'm doing more yawning than an insomniac on sleeping pills.
