50 quid a week for food for a family of 4 seems to be a bargain, think it costs more than that here in Thailand.
What a bunch of lard arse wasters, They get over 1.1 million baht a year paid by hard working Pakistani bus drivers.
Imagine hard hard it would be to get ones knob into those whales, I know mine couldn't reach.

I don't buy any chips, burgers or wine but I still need well over double their 50 quid a week for food for my family of 4.Quote:

Another thing is that it's cheaper to eat crap in UK than to eat healthily. Processed foods like own brand burgers & fish fingers are basically nutritionally useless but are far cheaper than decent cuts of meat or fruit & veg. I doubt they even know that much about balancing their diets. Funny that here veg, fish & things that are good for you are usually cheaper than crap (unless we're talking 5bt packets of noodles), but in the UK, the situation is reversed.
Looks like a bunch of oompa-loompas on steroids...
How could someone do that to themselves??? Never mind, Merika is full of them too...
that don't seem to much worse than the USA, the darkies get paid the same thing just for being to lazy to work and make extra on the side as drug dealers and shootists, and pimping for their wife and daughters also pays something.
I know NR, the Daily Mail is not averse to bending the truth, and being selective with quotations, they are so far to the right they stop just short of endorsing the BNP. But surely people like these are clearly in need of help.Quote:

So, these are the people getting dole money for being obese? And they are smiling.Quote:

When you're that fat, how do you wipe your arse??
get yr fat sister to do it for you
With toilet paper in the UK & the bum gun here, I would imagine.Quote:

Alternatively, I guess they would have to go between the legs, but, that would mean wiping towards their naughty bits which I believe is a no-no due to the risk of infection.
Fascinating subject, this.
Hmmm, a challenge here, methinks. Can anyone engineer minded work out an arm to arse ratio and settle this for us? I think their stubby little fingers will just manage with the bog roll, but my fine feathered friend reckons that the limbs and digits aren't sufficiently lengthy... Anyone? :DQuote:

It's easy to work out the thickness of finger/circumference of inner bogroll ratio. After thet it just gets messy.
Well, if I could mooch off of her dole money, I wouldn't have to work.Quote:

It doesn't specify but the way the text reads, that's between 4 adults, each of whom is raking in £100 a week. Out-fucking-rageous. Let's not worry about the chairman of RBS running his company into the ground, sticking the state with a bill for billions and then fucking off with a £16 million pension to get Peruvian whores to blow coke up his arse. No, fuck that. Let's all point and laugh at some fat people. And the fucking Mail and their shitty stupid fucking readership have the gall to whinge about how the country's gone to the dogs. Fucking right it has. Because those fucking cunts have taken it there. Aaarrgghhh.
FFS calm down Dan you will give your self a heart attack. It's a light hearted look at how useless Britain has become these days. Just look at the responses. Half a dozen posts and the TD readership is looking at engineering solutions for cleaning up shit. You should be saying well done chas for bringing a little light relief into our humdrum existence.Quote:

Not too dissimilar to what is currently happening in Dubai.
Hmmm.....not too sure about that. Expats in Dubai are mainly there for emplyment, not so in Thailand.
There is no employment in Dubai at the moment and what there is on offer is a fraction of the wage of just six months ago.Quote:

But those weren't factors I took into account. I was merely using Dubai as an example of a popular residence for UK expats now facing a mass exodus.
I believe most will be forced out of Thailand in coming years due to tightening of visa regulations (in particular raising of financial requirements) and domestic political conditions.
I love that picture - makes me feel anorexic !!!:):rofl:

Must admit, the Mail was a big factor in my decission to leave. Second delivery started getting later and later. Once the post office shut at 3.30 pm me fuckin giro was useless unless Big Dave gave us credit in the bookies for the last 3 races.Quote:

I feel a bit queasy after seeing that :sorry1:
Work shy bastards the lot of them. Give the bloke a job hod carrying, that would soon shape the bastard up. If it kills him, never mind, at least he's off the dole list.
Them other fat bitches should be sterilized as they are a disgrace to the female species.
To think the hard working decent citizens have to carry scum like this is shocking.
Those people are genetically fucked up. Sure they are fat but do you really think that they would ever be able to become the size of a normal person. The world is becoming screwed up with people like this all over the place. Even here in Thailand there are more and more people who look like these people. I'd say its a combination of availablility of food, sitdown work and lifestyles and DNA that is fucked up. We are going to see more and more of these people for sure as society can't agree to do anything to stop this problem. The only way I see this and the other problems of the world changing is through war. I've given up on society and governments. Ice age, Bronze age, Golden age, Fat Age
Oh, yes, they're VERY busy.Quote:
Asked why they don’t simply go on a diet, the jobless Chawner family insist: ‘We don’t have the time.’

^^ You're right that being fat on that scale is a combination of things but a large part of it is the food industry's nasty habit of serving up shit for the public to eat and the government's nastier habit of letting them do so. There's not much profit in flogging a sack of spuds but turn that sack of spuds into sugar- or salt-laden artery hardening, stroke-inducing poison and you can make a fortune. But, hey, the bastards doing that are making a profit so that's OK.
You saying it's the government's job to mandate what we can and cannot eat?Quote:

I don't accept that statement
Of course it is. You think there shouldn't be health standards for food? That food shouldn't be checked for adulterants? I absolutely think that the government should do this. Unless you're a pretty radical believer in total market freedom, it can't see what's wrong with this. As it stands, corporations are able to exploit what was a sound evolutionary policy - ie for humans to favour certain types of food - for their commercial benefit but at massive cost, both individual and public; the financial costs of obesity are born to a high degree by the state but the benefits are entirely private, accruing as they do to transnational corporations. Another example of governments and business colluding to privatise profit and to socialise costs and debts.Quote:

Why they can't waddle down to Tescos and get some fresh veggies etc. Next week after all the publicity they have had - they will probably be offered gastric bands on the NHS.
BTW my tellie is on when i get up - just for the sound and an occasional glance now and then. I weigh 52 kilos.
Nice sunny day in Switzerland, by the way. Off to the market.
Hasn't that council house got a lawn? They could plant vegies, eat healthy, cheap and get some much needed exercise at the same time.
Lazy useless bunch af layabouts.
