In advance of someone else stumbling across this, I will fess up now: due to dropping a few pants sizes in that WHS 12 Week Fitness Challenge Thing<\/a> I was invited to be interviewed on the ICS tv show ‘Culture Matters’ yesterday on the topic of ‘Obesity’…<\/p>\n

I am completely misquoted in the article about being inspired by my ‘Tubby’ Basher’s name to lose weight – I don’t know what they are talking about my nickname had nothing to do with my soft edges – I was clearly christened Tubby due to my cheerful\u00c2\u00a0demeanor and\u00c2\u00a0debut match spectacular diving one handed catch at first slip a’la Mark ‘Tubby’ Taylor<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0– who also happened to be a prime physical specimen of a man and firm believer in positive chirp.<\/a><\/p>\n

I am led to believe that the show will air on August 4th – I don’t have ICS on my telly nor will I be in the country then, but I am assured that it will appear on the web and they will send me a DVD which I will forward to the Basher’s PR department in exchange for five rambos for dropping the Bashers name on TV.<\/p>\n

There we go. Gates are wide open. Sledge away lads.<\/p>\n

ps. This is (only) the second time in the last week where I have been ‘out-gunned’ in the biceps department after that he-man from K2 out-flexed me on Sunday. At least this time I am being defeated by a professional body-builder, and he is clearly closer to the camera.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
