It's Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted!

So 'Fit Mom' has the supernatural ability to diagnose illness just by looking at someone?

The clip this is taken from always make me smile.

I found it when I was looking for the one below it and it was too fabulous to not share. I offer this one as a means of apology for not knowing!

The fact that she was a vegetarian was also left out of pre-dinner instructions. There aren't many back home either so I didn't think about it.

No pics yet, but jeezy creezy it smells AMAZEBALLS. Watching David Attenborough documentaries for the win!

I've been here for 8 years and I still don't understand it. Honestly I haven't put much effort into it. I will say that I love to see the Patriots lose because of my ex in Boston.

I showed up with colcannon, a personal favourite, which is a potatoes with cabbage and bacon. Most of our group loved it, but one…

I'm in the same boat. I'm the same size and weight that I was before I started running. Could I eat better? Probably. Could definitely drink less too. When I try to change my diet it screws up my running, and that screws up other things. I get serious side-eye at the start line when I line up for 8 min miles, but that…
