That's not healthy...

You are totally right, however, in all due respect untill a few years ago i played rugby untill quite a high level, i was about 21st. Even now i hardly drink, have never smoked and am still very energetic, Spoke to the quack about my weight as I was worried but he said i'm the fittest fat bloke he's seen and i still go to the gym 3 times a week, although yes i'm fat, behind the fat theses a hell of a lot of muscle and within every fat man theres a thin man trying to break out.

hair: probably longer than most of your's!

Bet mine is longer

 

[Gizmogle]

Wow...that's really, really weird!

It seems kinda unfair that you're at that weight when you make an effort to work out! Muscle does weigh alot though.

 

[Crompton Karl]

lol yes it does, but the problem is that although i do exercise a lot i really can't diet, so i might do a Fearne Britton and have the gastric band

 

[EE Type 3]

I'm about 13 stone, and anyone who's met me, will know that I don't look it

 

[D306]

suprisingly, i'm 13 stone as well. I dunno whether anyone would say the same about me as David D though

 

[Gizmogle]

Yeah. You're almost two of me Dave! You definately don't look it. Muscle I presume?

 

[Z12XE]

A few more useless things about me

I'm about 5ft 10" and just over 9 stone
I'm older than I look, but younger than I feel
I dont care for gossip or 'youth culture' (think of my as an English Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory)
I have had some grey hair since the age of 15
I've managed to change my accent which was light Suffolk to more neutral without really trying.
I never want kids (the noise and the mess isn't my thing)
I've never (knowingly) met anyone from RailUK

 

[EE Type 3]

Indeed, I come from a line of well-built Dawsons

Something all of you won't know, I'm shortsighted, and have to wear glasses around the house. I don't wear them on trips as they get bashed about.

Also I'm partially death in my left ear, thanks to a HST driver deciding to leave Reading on notch 5 while I was stood next to it.....

 

[Craig]

Partially death? hock:

I weigh about 10 stone, which is surprising considering how much I eat

 

[Gizmogle]

Random fact: I'm really picky about spelling and grammar, but when I talk, I often muddle up all my words and sentences and end up using really bad grammar.

 

[Ilove165's]

I forgot to mention that;

-I'm a forces postie
-I'm crap at the guitar at the moment
-I have 3 cats called Stifler, Artoo and Fearless Freddie

Random fact: was that pizza nice Gizzy?

SNAP! Why did no-one else want to, though. It's such a great instrument.

 

[Gizmogle]

156401: The pizza was alright. Not overly great

Random fact: I forgot it cause I'm up too early. I did have one though...

 

[JonathanP]

SNAP! Why did no-one else want to, though. It's such a great instrument.

It is a fantastic instrument, and they lent me a free one worth £X thousand while I was there.
I presume because it is heavy, is more tiring to play and has less solos.

The solos it's got, though, are fantastic. I got a great Selmar instrument for just over a year and I actually miss it

Random fact: Today was the first time I travelled on a regular service train in England hock: Tyne Valley line's fantastic in places, I'd say it rivals some of the Aberdeen route.

I also got some hellfire Pendo tilt for the first time today 8) Absolutely love it, although I can see how it's not for everyone. And the lovely pillars beside half the seats in the Pendos themselves is pretty horrific... Otherwise I rather like them

Same happens to me, I'll be waiting on a bridge and someone else who turns up, will know who I am, and I haven't a clue who they are!! hock:

 

[Gizmogle]

That happened to me once...it was David. I just couldn't remember who he was

Apart from that, I've not had any randomers

 

[Ben]

A tramp once knew my name, scared the life out of me until I realised I had my Footy shirt on with my name on.

 

[Gizmogle]

Oh! When I first joined RailUK, Chaz added me on MSN and was like "I saw you at Derby on..." whatever date it was. Scared the bejesus outta me! Thought he was a creepy paedophile. So I blocked him and was scared of him for ages.
