Scientists identify brain hormones responsible for hunger

This week, Tesco banned Ribena and Capri-Sun drinks from it’s shelves.

Obesity is just a growing thing in the UK. It’s not a new thing. What’s new is that the industry is seen as safe and not regulated.

VOD: London rick-shall charges £10 per minute + Do me bike

Today’s video goodness. From Liveleak – We have….

Rick-shall rider charges passengers £10 per minute

Taking a ride from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus, the film gets started around 1 minute through when the cabby gets out and starts questioning the guy.

I can’t work out what nationality he is.

Keeps referring to the ‘price list on the back’, he asks Police to help – as he only received £103 for his 10 minute journey.

Has to be seen to be believed.

“Check my prices squire…”

Do me Bike

A fine example of the application of modern thinking to create solutions for the modern age.

The faster you go, the better it gets.

Come ride the 'Do me' bike...
1885: The aerial bicycle was devised by American inventor S T Hachenberger, to utilize the newly erected telephone poles and wires for transportation. The vehicle was equipped with a small electric motor and was suspended from from a cable running parallel to the telephone wires. Used on a trial track, the idea was soon abandoned.
