Fatties

I used to travel to London on the train everyday and the thing that annoyed me wasn't so much being squashed into my seat was the lack of hygiene.... your average larger than life person often has a pong about them... why is this? an hour and a quarter of this stench and I feel the need for a top to toe scrub with a loofah and a pot of detergent when I got home....
 


There is something very difficult to restrain when looking at an obese human being.
For example, I saw a young lad playing, with his mum, as she did shopping in Brighton the other day. My first reaction was one of disdain, and the kid looked up at me while I was looking at him, with my feeling of dislike ensconced in me.
I felt suddenly guilty at having that first impression, one that I probably shouldn't even have, if I were still a kid myself.

The lad probably gets it at school for being chubby, and I imagine he rarely gets a kindly look or attitude from anyone, anywhere - and he's just a child.

I feel sad about it now, and have to face the fact that I have 'judged' people too much for their body shape - and when I'm not exactly staying svelt and slender myself, throughout life. :down:

Racism is a poor habit to embrace, as is sexism - but is it necessary to be fattist (or shape-ist) about people when we don't exactly HAVE to judge everyone on sight? For many, it was never a lifestyle choice.

The comedian Jimmy Carr was telling a joke about fat folk, when some porker in the crowd started shouting out and whining "You are out of order, blah, blah, glandular disorders, blah, blah, blah"

Carr took one look, and spits back at him "Glandular disorder? Glandular fuckin disorder? What are you taking for it, pies?"

Fella shut up then, apparently.

As a fat commuter, I'd say you're far more likely to be squashed by an INCONSIDERATE person of any girth than by a porker. Like those odd (and generally scrawny) alpha-male city types who like to sit with their legs apart, for some twisted psychosexual reason.

You are spot on there, what is it about train travel that makes some mens bollocks swell so badly ?

Well we should in some ways count our blessings as anybody who's been to some of the more backward states in the US fat is the way it is. There's but a handful of people on here who no me and believe me I'm hardly sylphlike but there people tended to think of me as slim.

When I say that Mrs BHA's ex was 44 stone (he died last year of a heart condition at 38 years old) it tells its own story. Over here your GP will harrass you if your weight is causing problems whereas there a whole lot of doctors see it as just repeat business.

Sad sequel to the afore mentioned's death was that that he was so dirt poor he was buried in a pauper's grave. He was also given a coffin. Sadly is was too short for him so his legs were amputated and but in the coffin along side his torso.
