Braveheart is set in Scotland and Mel Gibson played the part of William Wallace. It is based on history.

It's not Cathe but you might want to try Gin Miller's Simply Step.

I still cry when Yoda dies in Star Wars! I don't like to cry in front of people but the following films make me blub every time. Practical Magic - when she loses her husband and when she finds love again. Steel Magnolias funeral scene as well as any Julia Roberts weepy. Moulin Rouge -...

Are those "2 squares" the same kind of useless, waxy >TP that they have at the Tower of London? I never figured out >how to use that (but I wasn't there very long). Ack they still use that horrid waxy stuff?! We had that in the girls toilets during my first year at Junior School (ages...

LOL when I had that one fired at me by my SO, my response was "How on earth would you know how much toilet paper I use?!" LOL! I was so surprised that anyone would even point that out to another person unless they used a whole roll (or half I suppose) per visit! I thought it was hilarious and...

You will need to measure your inseam but the general rule is to buy whatever size you would normally choose for tights or other hosiery. I think if your inseam is longer than 32" you will not be able to wear the KOS USA pants but you should check with Sharon at Active U to be sure. The Oh My Bod...

Hi Winter, The same thing happened to me not long after I'd started to workout again after recovering from another accident. I went back to the Doctor and the hospital to make sure nothing had gone wrong and was told that it was simply a "slow healing fracture" - something which is common. A...

How weird! I wouldn't even dream of opening someone elses mail - not even if it was my SO's or my Mum's unless they explicity insisted I did. I suppose your neighbour's housekeeper thought they might be Christmas presents for your neighbour's children but even then it's still odd to actually...

Yes there was a study done in Australia that showed caffeini consumption before a workout encouraged the body to burn fat cells before it went into the glycogen stores for energy (I hope that's right - I'm sleep-deprived and have been doing DIY floor laying for the past few days!). I also...

Hi Kathryn I live on the West side of England but the weather is similar to that of London. London is warmer due to the way the city is constructed but it can also be a lot colder. As the others have said, dress for rain but prepare for the wind too! Our weather is unpredictable but it does...

Hi Janice. I have similar back issues to you (based on what you're written in your post) only my pain is usually concentrated in my lower back but I do suffer from horrible upper back pain on occasion. I started out with Pilates and aerobics (step and hi-lo) then yoga and then weights. *All* of...

As others have said, we all need to start somewhere! The most basic requirement for owning a computer these days is a good anti-virus programme but you must make sure you keep it up to date. Norton Anti-virus is a good example of a reliable anti-virus product. You must make sure you keep your...

Wayne you've been told a pack of lies. You are right not to send your credit details by e-mail (it's almost as bad as taping them to your front door!) but they can and do take orders over the telephone. I and others in the UK have ordered from Beachbody in this way so it looks like you have been...

Hi Cathe, I understand why you don't want to give too much away at this stage so I hope you won't mind my question! Will there be any behind the scenes or rehearsal footage on the DVDs or on your Web site? It sounds as though it's all going very well though. Well done :) ATB, - Lisa :)

A medical insurer in the UK has just said it will give people discounts on their health insurance if they go to the gym. Unfortunately it won't include anyone who works out ouside of the home.. cyclists, runners, walkers, mountineers, climbers, VFers etc. but it is a step in the right direction...

RE: The Carol: *hugs* I can see why you (and others) felt offended and I certainly hope I didn't offend you or anyone else here. You don't have to take anything anyone says here to heart. I do think you write very supportive and kindly worded posts that have great value here. ATB, - Lisa :)

*hugs*
