Eat yourself fitter?July 23, 2009 by Mike Teasdale
Speaking as someone whose last meal was the all-you-can-eat buffet at Pizza Hut in Victoria, Diana Janicki's blog Growling Belly is a glimpse into a magical fairytale land where food is lovingly prepared and eaten with proper relish (and where relish does not equal bacon bits).
As I salivated over the "foolproof" recipe for pavlova with fresh summer berries I did worry that even my pizza-enhanced frame might struggle with the combined calorie load of meringue, whipping cream and sugar.
And astonishingly Google's content matching algorithm agrees with me - dropping in a banner for a weight-loss product into the recipe.
Hmmm. Good thinking Google!
Of course if you really did want to lose weight, in the words of the old Irish joke, you wouldn't want to be starting from here!

Twitter UK celebrity chart – 17th JulyJuly 17, 2009 by Mike Teasdale
A month since my last look at the murky world of celebrities on Twitter – so what’s new?
Well as usual I have noticed someone I’ve miss someone completely off the list – in this case Jamie Oliver, who has swept up an impressive 150,000 followers.
Elsewhere, Lily Allen is now very close to the magic one million followers – I guess she’ll probably make it in a week or so.
And those who were shocked at Coldplay overtaking Stephen Fry will not be cheered by the fact that Richard Bacon now has more followers than the erudite Mr Fry.
| Celeb | Followers |
| Coldplay | 1,384,168 |
| Lily Allen | 956,466 |
| Neil Gaiman | 777,202 |
| Imogen Heap | 709,445 |
