what does purple baby-bel have to do with sex?

[foot-loose]

If you release your grip, it becomes a pink baby-bel.

Wrong thread Viv.

So the secret then of how to lose weight then...eat less.

Ahh, this is based on the Billy Connolly diet. "To lose weight, it's simple. Move more, eat less. And don't eat ANYTHING that is served to you in a 'bucket'!"

There is a lot of logic to that.

It's part of the new regeme except that all good ideas I like the sound of will henceforth be prefixed with El presidente.
Getting too fat to move will also be a crime, every now and again I shall let loose some viscious killer albeit very asthmatic dogs onto the streets and anyone who can't outrun them get's eaten!

As for that woman who grew into her sofa on the telly the other week, I've yet to find a punishment that I feel fully does her justice.

[foot-loose]

Does she have baws?

Wrong thread Viv.

Presumably, Viv was just JOKING.

[Vivienne]

O, make sure you capatalise that! You're obviously referring to my pm!

[Andy B]

You'd never find em even if she did, her skin grew around the fabric of the sofa!

I was thinking more along the lines of something involving rabid horny tigers and an electric eel.

El presidente

Isn't that a type of cheese?

[Andy B]

I know it's a type of beer in the Dominican Republic, I've even got the T-shirt to prove it somewhere. I've not yet decided on my official title for the post revolutionary world government I shall lead. I may have to invent a whole new title.

[MK Chris]

Bigus Titus?

[Vivienne]

El Presidente is a pop band.

[Andy B]

It was a song for some band ages ago and it had Thom Yorke (the guy out of Radiohead just in case) on vocals. Quite a good song actually.

Drugstore may 1998 - I may be to lazy to wikipedia it but never to check everyhit.com, the most useful site on the net I think. Unless you were drowning in shark infested waters, it probably wouldn't be that useful then. You'd be better off checking out Ray mears home page, or sending an e-mail to someone asking for help really, but in nearly all other situations it's the most useful website there is.

Are you serious?

[Andy B]

My missus was watching it on tele a few weeks back, she may have recorded it but I only saw it in passing.

Where she was so fat she was pushing both sides of the sofa out and her skin had grown around the mesh of the fabric of the sofa so she litteraly grew into her sofa.

[Andy B]

Maybe that should be through the mesh of the fabric but you get the picture.

[Yudster]

Unfortunately, yes, I think I do! Surely for that to happen she would have to have been sat in exactly the same position without moving for a hell of a long time - weeks at least, maybe months? How did she go to the toilet whilst she was growing into her sofa?!

[Andy B]

She was there for years Yuds, years! She was barely recognisable as a human. I don't know if her toilet functions were covered in the programme, as I said I didn't watch all of it. I shall have to try to find out what it was called.

[foot-loose]

I dont like these type of programmes and the fascination that they seem to attract - it's the modern day equivalent of the freak show.

These people need help, and I don't see how making people go 'eeeeew' at them on national tv helps.

Best I can do unfortunatley

[Yudster]

I agree I think foots - I'm quite appalled at my curiosity, because it really does reduce this poor woman to the status of an object to be looked at. Looked down on more accurately. I hope she got some help anyway.

If it's self inflicted then I have absolutely no sympathy - I have very little anyway for anything. If it's been inflicted on them then that's a different story altogether.

Self inflicted - release the hounds I say!

[Yudster]

I bet it was her life's ambition, to be the world's first human/soft furnishing symbiant.

[Yudster]

She died. And family members are facing charges of neglect. Its sounding less self inflicted by the minute Andy.......
