Our Man On The Radio Is Nervous Of Take Aways

The last thing I need right now is a takeaway special – especially from people who have, no doubt, done specials on personal trainers, the best place to get a salad and how to juggle full-moon yoga and your underwater spin class. I am the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life.

It was all going so well, too.

I was taking part in all the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge rides last year. I was eating a combination of rabbit food and air, whilst the diuretic tea was going through me like a fireman’s hose. But then I fell off the wagon. Actually, that needs fact checking – I didn’t fall off the wagon. The wagon creaked and splintered beneath my growing posterior, before finally giving up the ghost and collapsing into kindling.

HOW NOT TO LOSE YOUR COOL THIS SUMMER

This is a city that works hard, plays hard, but, on a boiling hot day, can feel like hard work. So look at this month’s magazine as a little cooling comfort pack to see you through the summer season. Let yourself be whisked off to our favourite indoor bars and hideaways – with AC, summery feels and maybe an ice-cold drink to keep you chill. Then dream of refreshing dishes to fill your belly. You’ve never had it so cool.
