44. DO YOU DO PILATES OR YOGA?
I had to look pilates up and according to dictionary.com it is “a method of physical and mental exercise involving stretches and breathing that focus on strengthening the abdominal core”. Now I do quite a lot of breathing (I find it makes staying alive so much easier) and I do a number of stretches (generally to easy some part of me I have managed to injure, in some mysterious fashion), which are physical and metal exercises, and my abdominal core must be pretty strong (based on cross-sectional area if nothing else!). Does this mean I do pilates without knowing it?
45. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MAGAZINES?
Define a lot; I'm guessing I have approx 80 IEE ones (12 Review, 6 Power Engineer, 6 Student and Graduate, 6 Careers per year for 2 1/2 yrs + others odds-n-sods), 4 years worth of DIY-Radio, 2 years of RadCom and an assorted collection of What Hi-Fi?, LRO and various computer and car related ones (say 15 all together). Oh and I still have probably 30 old MBUKs somewhere.
I trust you all feel suitablly enlightened!?
