NOW I know why I'm putting on weight - I'm just not burning enough calories ('Sex Flops', Evening Press, March 4).

I DON'T know about ten-minute wonders or 44-minute marathon men but, nowadays, by the time I've come to the boil I've forgotten why - and the wife has probably gone shopping! If we still smoked, rather than a ciggie afterwards it would be more likely to be a packet of 20 while waiting for something to happen.

Ah! happy memories of younger days.
