I may not a mathematician but I know enough to be irritated by football managers and politicians exhorting us to give more than 100%. When we have given everything where is the extra 10% supposed to come from? Are we expected to steal it from someone else?

However, I did go training the other day (yes, I do some exercise from time to time) and the session ended with circuit training. Four exercises, press ups, narrow grip press ups, wide grip press ups and big dippers (a form of, can you guess? press up). I hope you can see a theme there. I did my best but wimped out a bit - but maybe I didn’t wimp out enough. Yesterday my triceps (the ones under you arm that extend it, opposite biceps that bend it) had stiffened up so much I was drinking my coffee with a straw and having to ask friends to scratch my nose for me - I just couldn’t reach it!

So, maybe I did give 110% - it was certainly more than I should have done
