FAHKIN' 'ELL!
This was taken from the BBC news website yesterday. This couple are upset that they've had to cancel their wedding. I'd say they've got bigger (no pun intended) things to worry about.
That kid's got fatter arms than me and I'm a saggy bloke in his 50's!!!
Faaaaaahkin' 'ell. That's fucking child abuse, and I ain't kidding.

Do you remember when Buster Bloodvessel used to be considered fat, he'd merely be portly these days.

25 years ago when I went on holiday to the US I noticed that almost everyone was fat. Coming back to the UK was a significant shift in BMI.

They should be like that.
Knowing we were going to yours, we didn't eat for three days before.

Today I notice the same sort of average build in the UK,
god knows what size yanks are by now.
Especially when you factor in the lockdown weight gain. 20lb in my case

You didn't have to gain 20 lbs. You gained it because you wanted to, it was a lifestyle choice.

Most of my kids were fat babies, especially Andrew, he was a bruiser, now he's 20, 6'2 on thereabouts and about 11 stone. The rest are all tall and skinny apart from Ryan who's short and stocky.

To be fair to overweight people, processed food is full of sugar and sugar is bloody addictive, they could make an effort but the food available on supermarket shelves is shite. You really need to avoid processed crap and prepare your own from healthy ingredients but it seems not everyone can
be bothered to do that.

We’ve shut the economy down because of people like this........
Sad to say I watched The Hit List on BBC1 last night and 5 of the 6 contestants seriously needed to go on a diet. I’m sick to death of people not taking responsibility for their health. Who do they think will benefit from their obesity in the long run? Certainly not them. Rant over!
Life’s for living, so let’s get on with it!
