I often wonder, there must be hoards of photographers out there taking pictures of fat people in various configurations (couples, singles). All with their heads out of shot. I doubt they have signed a consent form to have their image used (even with the face removed).

It is the conspiracy of wide-angle lens manufactures.

NEWS
noun newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent events.
I think it counts under the 'mewly received' bit.

What? Are they reading the same numbers as they put in their article?

I'm 6'3" and 18 and a half stone, I need a woman who can take a bruising.
I see this result as a good thing.

Around the same as me eldest brother. One of the things I find interesting is the use of BMI. You will not find an international rower with a BMI under 30, many are close on 40, but are they 'unfit' or 'obese'? Rugger Buggers are the same, modern forwards, not the lard arses of yesteryear, are exceptionally fit and 20 stone on a 6'3" frame is not that big.
Bloody doctors, now where's my gin?

Quite, it is better to be fit than thin, although I am neither these days.
I am never going to be thin.

I am doomed to eternal thinness and it ain't always good. In my early 20's all the other back row players started to outgrow me and I started to take more beatings than I gave out. I had to move.
to the backs

That All Black gargantuan Jonah Lomu has a BMI of 30+ which makes him obese. Anyone here wish to ask him what it's like to be a fat git?

Despite my size I have always played in the backs. I started out as a scrum half at school, because myself and the number 8 had played mini rugby before secondary school and were so much better, and bigger, than everyone else. I was also quick over short distances for my size so everyone else was mainly there for defense or restarting play, we did all the offensive stuff between the two of us.
When I started playing again in my 20s my right knee was shot, but I still had a fair amount of speed in a straight line so they stuck me out on the wing where these little skinny blokes were always surprised as I went flying by then and they were then unable to catch up with me.

I was t'opposite. I started off as fly-half but moved to No.8 as my ball-in-hand skills weren't quite what a No.10 should have and my kicking wasn't up there either. At No.8 it all changed for the better! I was quick at peeling off the scrums, held my own in the lineout, and my no-nonsense tackling soon made an impression on opposing teams. I was of the England full-back (Dusty Hare) style who once said "I'll get my tackles in early, even if they're late."
Playing rugger in S'Efrica was a different story. They produce hard bastards down there and I quickly learned that the hardest punch in the face was sometimes the way you did things. I had the misfortune of breaking both my ankles within a year or so and the second one forced my retirement, at 27.

I would say the woman in the picture is the right one for you. Just don't let her get on top.

Hi,
Quote: The UK has more obese women than any other country in Europe, according to European Union figures.
It's not that there wasn't enough attention for the problem in the [UK media] 
With friendly greetings,

Well, this explains the recent flooding. It wasn't the water rising, it was the land sinking due to all the fat birds.
