Fat pride?http://www.naafaonline.com/dev2/Perhaps making jokes and slighting remarks about fat people will soon be as forbidden as making jokes about black people, Muslims, Jews or the disabled. So I'd like to take the opportunity, whilst I may do so without fear of imprisonment, to say I wouldn't mind getting the pie concession at one of their conferences. |

I love you, Brownbear. | ||||||||||

You can have the pie concession as long as I get to run the donut stand! | ||||||||||

I have to say, that as an overweight person, I find this thread very offensive. At least you could have come up with some new jokes.

If I didn't know that Mr Bear was on the portly side himself, I would be finding it offensive, too .

I'd like to see some kind of pie credit scheme similar to the carbon credit scheme that gets touted every now and then. | ||||||||||

That's pretty much how weight watchers works isn't it? |

A Cornish Pasty is 18 points  .

Not for me, no. I don't eat pies, don't eat pasties, don't like pastry. I eat a quarter of what my husband eats, half of what my friends eat yet I'm the size of a small african nation. I'd like financial recompense for all the pies I haven't eaten

Metabolisms are pants, aren't they?  .

| Jamanda |
I doubt it would work for me either It sounds so miserable. And targets  Just like work!
Editted to add, but I do like pies! |
||||||||||
| Stacey |
Dunno - haven't got one
|

| JB |
OK but only if you can present us with a receipt for the non pies

No, metabolisms are metabolisms, pants are underwear (or trousers if you're from the US), confusing them is potentially embarrassing. | ||||||||||

I was permanently hungry. There were women who would live off lettuce all week and save all their 'points' for binge drinking at the weekend Very healthy.
|

| Chez |
Stacey - yeah, I used to do that. 24 points of alcohol a week and a diet entirely based on veg. I lost three stone which immediately went back on again when I moved in with Arvo and started cooking again .

I've yet to meet him. Is he also a labour voting, cycling, deeply religious, vegetarian homosexual?

He's been known to ride a bicycle. | ||||||||||

Anyone who's met me can confirm my amazing resemblance to a weeble!

I refuse to validate that. You may wobble a bit - but you'd certainly fall over if someone stuck their foot out .

Hardly being Twiggy myself, I'm in the position of a man in a glass house who ought therefore to throw pies in the basement. The reason I noticed this group is that they have launched a campaign against a new animated film that shows fat people as overweight.
Something about a lovelorn robot and people in flying chairs apparently. |

Wall-E? I did actually complain about an ad once. The wife swapping one about a car where all the men pretend the keys aren't theirs when a fat woman picks them out? Didn't actually get anywhere though as it's ok to tell fat people they're ugly and undesirable. |

I'm coming round to the idea that he's an anarchist though. |

| Jamanda |
You say that as though it's a bad thing? | ||||||||||
| Brownbear |
Yes to the bicycle, no longer to the Labour party, no to the enthusiasm for Gods, vegetarianism and nude men. Others can have my share of those, and I'll have their share of meat pies, blasphemy and curvy women in return. | ||||||||||
| Stacey |
I didn't have you down for a labour man |
||||||||||
| sally_in_wales |
any room for enthusiastic nude men and meat pies to be embraced by this curvy woman. Bicycle optional and blasphemy by negotiation?? |

It was more a vote against that nutbar Adrian Rogers at the '97 election. |

Down here you have to vote Lib Dem just to keep the Tories out
|

| Stacey |
Tagline extraordinaire

| Brownbear |
I assumed you all voted Lib Dem due to the effects of Radon gas in the granite. |

| Stacey |
Don't talk to me about radon

Definitely, you wouldn't want to be seen in public when your elastic snaps and your metabolism ends up round your ankles. |

Neither have I, never have had which is why come the apocalypse I'll be able to eat the people who've died from hunger unless they've shot me first. Got to the stage where I'm too embarassed to go out in public so I've gone on an incredibly strict diet---2 stones down many to follow

More a delight in perversity than anarchism as such. That's perversity, not perversion. Not since i slipped a disc that time, anyway. |
