Things We Hate

original lucozade tastes like some sort of medicine

It was originally sold in pharmacies so I would like to congratulate you on an astute observation, well done mate.

Back to Finding Nemo...

Why doesn't Nigel (the pelican) just knock the lid off the tank, scoop up the fish and set them free? Full of plot holes these films.

they sell sunglasses in pharmacies too. i've only had a nibble on them once or twice but they didn't taste like medicine mate. it's a soft drink, an awful tasting soft drink and you should be ashamed of yourself for promoting it.

'cause then the movie wouldn't be very long.

Lucozade is a great soft drink! Caribbean crush, orange and indeed the original too. I remember trying Lucozade 'energy' sweets from the pharmacy when I was a kid. Yeah, they're really shit.

 

[HertsWolf]

The people who go on it are idiots, but idiots generally don't need or deserve to be publicly harangued. It worries me that a show based around the idea of humiliating people who are for the most part poor and lacking in education gets any sort of decent viewing figures.

Agreed. Never understood the need to air the programme at all.

 

[HertsWolf]

Presumably the science thread. Fuck knows though, as Herts said it was a debate...just cos someone counters your argument it ain't something to take personally. And I dont think either me or silky were patronising or offensive but hey ho...probably have been now

No. I just wished I hadn't started it. I simply - literally - don't have the time to keep going with it. Tbf, I feel some of your responses have been patronising, but I'm not offended, just not really wanting to continue the debate. It's one where after 7.3 million posts (98.7% of them irrelevant to the then extant debate) we would be:
a) no further on
b) confused by what point the other was making (this is where we are now, actually)
c) bored

Most people are probably at c) by now. Or perhaps several posts ago.

So no disrespect, but not the time nor the place.

 

[HertsWolf]

I don't think he's said that, just that he's lost interest.

That was most of it. Seriously. But a little bit of feeling patronised because I "might" be approaching this from a different angle. After some thought this morning, I just decided it was going to become one of those long Fisk-like debates and I haven't the energy like E.G. does for them these days.

Many pharmacies in the States sell cigarettes, that well-known medical product. Until 2001, you could buy them in pharmacists here in Britain too, IIRC.

Pharmacies everywhere sell sugar poisoning in the form of chocolate and other crap.

stick to burger critique mate. that's where your future lies.

could you really buy smokes in pharmacies up until 2001? that's mental

I seem to remember it anyway.(So probs bollocks!) But you still can in the US.

He looks good for someone who is over 110 years old - he seems to have undergone the "reverse Michael Jackson" surgery, though.

 

[silkyman]

Cheese & Biscuits after that comment. One cannot hate (or merely dislike) the studios that brought you Toy Story, A Bugs Life or Monsters Inc to name 3.

Up and inside out too

I've not written that many!

Sorry that you've found some of it patronising...it is something i struggle to explain in lay terms cos I have a propensity to waffle on in more tech terms thanks to learning a lot on evolution in my genetics degree so make a conscious effort to try and avoid speaking about in complex terms. And also try not to bring it up unless someone else does then I'll keep going and bore you to death

That was most of it. Seriously. But a little bit of feeling patronised because I "might" be approaching this from a different angle.

Not Tring to patronise the different angle but obviously argue the angle I'm coming from passionately...and with anyone. Have been known to start arguments with preachers in the streets

Have a good Christmas duck egg.

 

[JimJams]

... i struggle to explain in lay terms ....

Patronising bastard.

 

[blade1889]

Patronising bastard.

Soz...it is true though that when (with all due respect) you know a topic such as evolution better than many people you still want to have the conversation but not start rattling on about stuff that'll go over peoples heads. Same for anyone in their 'specialist' field though id have thought.

Had a bottle of Carribean Crush before my first ever half marathon. It didn't help. Hindered me if anything. I don't remember miles 9-12. Blacked out a bit.

Damn

I can't imagine any kind of fizzy drink being optimum for runs of that distance?

Did you have that lovely tropical taste when you zoned back in though??

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Great for other types of runs though...

Yeah like diarrhea surely ??

I hadn't even thought of that...

 

[PaulHaddock]

I once drank a litre bottle of lucozade before strenuous football. Couldn't get out the bath afterwards because of cramp in every single leg muscle whenever I tried to move. I couldn't even stretch any muscle because it retract the opposing muscle. Worst pain I've ever had.

 

[sl1k]

I hadn't even thought of that...

After a quick glance at the lucozade in my fridge, it's apparently not to be used to replace fluids lost through diarreah.

So you did successfully smartarse me c&b, fair play

A stated purpose of sports drinks, which provide many calories of energy from sugars, is to improve performance and endurance. In an analysis by Matthew Thompson and colleagues from the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine, of 431 marketing claims of performance enhancement, most cited no evidence. 174 sources were cited for Lucozade; of them, Thompson found only three studies of high quality with a low risk of bias. The rigorous studies that did show improved endurance were "of limited relevance to most people because the tests were on elite athletes".

It's an incredibly difficult thing to discuss, in part because its someone's entire worldview you are talking about at times.

It's an impossible debate because no matter what you say there is always somewhere for God to hide. 'You can't prove it' is a fallback position that is inherently unarguable. When you are trying to debate something that is not only technically unarguable, and is accepted as the exact opposite of every other debate point in history ('prove it isn't' instead of 'prove it is') then sometimes it's perhaps tough no not sound patronising. Not to say that atheism is in any way a religion, but atheists feel that they have 'seen the light' as to the non existence of any deity.

I'm no specialist in the the field, but I enjoy the debates like this, and the flat earth gubbins, because it gives me an excuse to research and look into things I'm interested in and pick up new knowledge along the way.
