Talking about weight and stuff, I was interested to see that in Battlestar Galactica they call junior officers 'Leftenants' like British army, also at one point Captain Thingy (Adama's son) has put a bit of weight on and gets onto an exercise programme and says he has lost a stone.

Does that come from it being a Canadian co-production or do you think it was a clever scriptwriter's way of adding a bit more alien-ness to the show, like the books all having their corners cut off.

everything wrong with britain right there :(, i wish it was the 1950's again where everyone was gentlemanly, tipped there top hands and swung their canes!

You know who I feel sorry for? The doctor who had to give her a c-section... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously, how hard is it really? I mean, I'm 16, and I got fat over summer two years ago. It sucked. Over the next summer (2008 summer) I became a lineman on the High School football team and worked out twice a day (once at practice and once at the gym with my older brother who was also on the team) and I ate a LITTLE more healthy. I lost my belly, gained muscle, and found a gf. Easy. It's most-likely a little harder for older people, but come on! You can't get that fat!!!

This is why we need more Ghurkas.

There wouldn't be any fat people (myself included!) if everyone got assigned a Ghurka personal trainer.

Up at 6 a.m, a cold shower, a hot cup of tea and a hard day's work.

By God! we would soon sort out the global recession, Europe, swine flu, pollution in China, and global warming. Probably win all the medals at the Olympics, too.

The old Battlestar had totally different weights and measurements. I remember watching the show and wondering, "How long is a centon?" Wonder why they just didn't bring that system over with the new ?

That's easy, it's to dumb it down for the masses. Plain and Simple.

Stupid Ray. You'd think he'd have learned from the first time.

i feel sorry for kids like this, because they are being forced to be fat, it's a child and doesn't know what it's doing is harming its body. Child protection should really do more to stop obesity in young children.

I totally agree.

Physically or Mentally abusing a child has a life long effect on the poor little sods. Same with over feeding them. Diabetes, Heart Disease. It's exactly the same thing to my mind. Through the Parents neglect (willful or not) they are lumbering their child with a life of disease and health problems. Well done, morons!

Lrn2NoScript. I have no Sympathy for ya.

I wonder if that photo was shopped.

I doubt it, a quick trip to Wal-Mart will show you half a dozen sad cases as those kids. The parents should be shot, or at least sterilized.

parents like that should be castrated with plyers

I blame MTV and M.C Hammer.

Saying they like big butts and all of that stuff. The feminist movement is also to blame. They said that women shouldn't try to look like models or like the manequins in the clothing store. I guess some women took this as a "get out of diet free" card.

That wasn't MC Hammer, that was Sir Mixalot I believe.

What KK said, again.

This, or have fat people assigned to mandatory Ergometre training every tuesday. 40 minutes, no stops for breathers, burgers, or lard.

sA

'Dinner at around 4pm could be a microwave lasagne or pie which their mother chews so they can manage it, and they sometimes have another bottle of milk before bed, although their mother says they're often too full.'

This is really eewwwwwwwwwwww.

Wrong isn't it?

Man am I glad my new job allows me to go to the Gym! Then I can eat as much gak as I want, and then just go do some exercise to counteract it!

Stupid woman. You need to chew your kids food, because they don't have many teeth. That means they probably aren't ready for solid food. Stupid.

Ya know, I have had an Idea.
Licences for babies. If you pass the test, you get your benefits. If you dont, you can still have babies, but the gov does not pay you a penny.

Try losing weight when you can't walk, then get back to me.

I blame Tesco to be honest. Ever since they started their homne deliveries, people dont have to walk anymore. They can use their debit card to spend the money paid into their bank acounts and have everything delivered.

Also Pizza.

Tesco?

Britains Walmart effectively.

But with a touch more class, as all things in Britain (apart from the beast this thread is about) are wont to do!

Hah, I got a *huge* order from tesco online the other night. I've barely left the house since.

Yeah pretty much that. They are the biggest supermarket in the UK. They are so big, that they actually sell everything their own brand at a loss, but still make a profit on the other stuff. So because everything is so cheap, everyone goes there, because they buy both the cheap own brand stuff, and don't mind paying the few pennies extra on things like bread etc. And the majority of their stores are open 24/7 as well.
