Lean Mean Igniting Machine

We saw Larry at the weekend. He's half the man he used to be: Carole has put him on a diet and he's lost two stone since we saw him last. Beefy and buff, the diet has made him look years younger.

Larry's weight-loss should act as an inspiration for me. I've been on a casual diet now for about 6 weeks, and so far have lost a grand total of 3 pounds. The second phase has begun: I've done a few sit ups and Vic has decided to suppress my sugar cravings with a supply of dried fruits.

I'm really not used to prunes.
