That's good. All that football, no doubt. I'm starting to look pretty lean now. Not far off the magic number where all my hard work will show. Soon body, soon.

Actually I've narrowed it down to the switch from Coke to Pepsi Max.

I think. But I'm 3 and a half kilos down on my 105 from a couple of weeks ago.

Coke contains a lot of sugar. I guess it depends how much you drink. That could be a lot of empty calories you're cutting out. Just be sure it's mostly body fat you're losing. 2lbs per week is sort of the upper limit you want to lose, but optimum is 1.5.

If you wanted to, you could work out your daily calorie requirements, and what you should aim for; http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/

Go for the Katch-McCardle formula if you're able to find out your body fat percentage, as it's more accurate. Our local Boots here has a machine that calculates it. Usually want to aim for 10-20% under your daily calorie needs for weight loss, depending on your goals.

Now we have something geeky apart from Dr.Who to talk about. :p

That's sad possibility too.
It was anectode and a propably a 1 in a million case, but apparently there was a story about Finnish skinhead group leader, who got "slightly" (at least) better after meeting on a local gas station an immigrant black rapper, whom was idol of the skinhead's daughter. Apparently they became like buddies or something after/during the guy called his daughter to the gas station to get the autograph.

Yeah, with skinheads, that's an oddity. Still a positive, that his kid's idol enacted a positive change in him.

The problem here is that the pro-business freedom crowd and light-Liberatarians will defend it.

I don't defend it so much, for one. It reeks of racism.

While I admit that a business should do what they feel is best for their organization and keeping their customers, sometimes it's a tough compromise between principle and money. And, like I read on a site the other day, you can always make more money but you can not make more principle.
