Fatties in 4x4s

missmarple

Personally I think fatties should be ordered to pay a "FAT-TAX" - we shouldn't pay tax on our earnings, but how much we weigh! (albeit in conjunction with BMI)

4x4s or as i call them TUVs totally unnecessary vehicles that vary rarely if ever go offroad

As for fatties in 4 x 4 If your in central London anytime soon look out for what is possibly the worlds fattest man on a motorbike, Blokes a bit of a prick actually so if you do see him point and laugh

(THis has absollutly nothing to do with being stuck behind the dimensionally challenged twit while he squeezed himelf between cars and i mean squeeezed while I had to trackstand behind him)

yes when i am approached for bus fare money i advise that it is cheaper and healthier to walk ... and sometimes that I doubt time is at a premium for the beggar anyway.

no idea about the BMI situation in southampton but from my brief visits there it looks a complete hole.

I give out about 4x4's often, one (of the many) observations I regularly make when it come up is that they're made for off roading and I'd comfortably say that 90% of them barely see a grass verge never mind any off roading.

I drive a BMW GS (off roady style) motorbike for my daily commute* . Am I the pot calling the kettle black?

*when I'm not cycling in.

very much so because motorcycles are so noisy and therefore anti-social. also, there are often driven by complete hand-shandies.

Au contraire, they are very often driven over the pavements which is technically off-road.

Fatties in 4x4's callories in < excersise callories out = thinner and fitter. 8)

I don't drive and don't pay for bus travel if I use it. I often choose to walk (even allong the bus route and am often quicker) for the execise if I don't have my bike.

About this 50 miles to ride 3, ride there and back!
well, this BMI taxation suggestion. BMI is Bollox. :evil:

I had a run in with fatty four-by-four last night.

I was just heading through town in a 30 area, probably knocking on 25mph myself when I had an old M reg Land Rover pull along side me. In the passenger seat was a rather hefty "lady" who,window down, was swearing at me and basically educating me that I should be using the cycle lane to my left! I say cycle lane, it's more a carpark, your typical glass and pothole riddled council gesture of a cycle path that randomly ends

We exchanged views until they turned off onto chavs-town estate. I'd have loved to have followed them and pointed out to her the nearest Slimming World to return the favour.

It annoyed/depressed me in so many ways that these people exist

It did make it extra special this morning cycling into work when I absolutely flew past a chav on his full sus MTB (he was only on the road as there was no path !) who was pedailling like mad going downhill. As my kids would say, "see ya, wouldn't want to be ya". Sweet

hahaha reverse happened to me a week ago, was out night cycling and took the pavement home for once. Slowly cycled past a girl out running while we crossed a junction. She stuck her finger up at me and gave some abuse for riding on the pavement! Being a reasonably attractive young guy not something I'm used to

Anyway I politely pointed at the blue cycle lane signs then (as I'd had a couple down the pub with the local riders, hence being on the pavement) proceeded to cycle past ringing my bell egging her on to run faster :D:D

Moody cow she was. Just goes to show even fit people outside of cars can be obnoxious... I would class myself as a 'polite' cyclist. I even smile and say hello to ramblers, the look of utter confusion on their faces each time makes me laugh

A 'big boned' girl came up to me once and said "You're fatist". I said "No, you're fattest!".

This is the best thread ever!
Im always being told of to keep my gob shut when it comes to speaking my mind!
MY little girl was being picked on my some lardy arse so she called her a fat cow! for this we where called into school and advised that it isn't necessary language for a six year old to be using, boy I had to bite my tongue.. its called playground banter!! its what kids do arrghhhhhh
The whole girls family are huge! and guess what they have a huge car to fit them all in!!!

Now, Now. You shouldn't make fun of fat people, they might burst.

A mate of mine met up with his better half after a night out in town. She'd been out with the girls from work, one of whom was, er, 'big boned'. When introduced, Adam's immortal response was:

"Chuffin'ell luv, you know where the fridge is!"

Naughty but very funny!

edhornby

reminds me of billy connolly ranting about fat people

"2 great excuses the fat people use

1- Water retention.... no it's chip retention

2 - slow metabolism... yeah I can see those fifteen pies slowly making their way down yer belly !! "

edhornby

or the jimmy carr joke..

"I was my mate in the pub the other night with 2 girls !! I said to him "They're like buses aren't they"

"Yeah" he said "wait for ages for one to come along and then you get 2..."

"no - THEY'RE LIKE BUSES !!! "

I would never let a fat person in my 4x4
