What I meant was that I would probably have said **** off you spiteful old besom to anyone being nasty to me, rather than using a phrase such as fattist witch. It's the sort of thing my grandfather used to mutter under his breath when he was a stablehand and the trainer's wife would sweep in and make nasty comments. No criticism, just me going off on a tangent

Ah - I get it now.

:idea:

What is it about horsey people that they can be such ****ing besoms? (I say that as a horsey person - but I am probably more of your Romany-type [even though own Desert Orchid's twin]).

Now who's going off a tangent. Your grandpa sounds great.

<snip> At a certain size, the gym won't help - weight loss will need to initially be induced by dietary changes - at larger sizes, it is going to be impossible to reach sufficient levels of exertion to burn fat and strength/weight training may be quite simply impossible due to an overweight body shape.<snip>

It will if it has a swimming pool :T

The water will help the person to bare the weight

He was a cracking bloke. 5 foot 2, periwinkle blue eyes shining out from skin tanned to the colour of a beech wood in autumn. Made a fine jockey, too, but he wouldn't hurt the horses, so he never got famous.

Never told anything of his background. He seemed to have no relatives. He told me I had inherited something from his family, cos I could get dogs, cats, birds horses, cows, sheep, crows, foxes, etc to come to me even when I was tiny. And the animals weren't coming just because he would sneak me sweets (he'd take me back to my mum's saying it didn't matter that I had sugar all over me mooie!!!)

I had a besom rather than a plastic broom. All anyone ever asked was whether I planned on flying to the shops on it (sigh).

Completely off topic sorry - but does anyone happen to know where I can get a besom? Mine caught woodworm and disintegrated and I really miss it. I've never found anything better for sweeping up leaves (and it's such a cheap form of transport!)

Do you think though that they can manage enough to burn fat? Or would it be more toning? (Which is just as good in my opinion)

As for what happened to the thread - I think discussions of BMI might actually be expected to stray from the main point (and am guilty of playing my part in that I'm afraid).....

Oh goodness, I am totally with you on the flesh coloured bra thing!! I have several, they are a godsend.

Now I'm off to reflect on my own fashion disasters (there have been many) and share them with y'all

Our shame will help others! :rotfl:

I'm losing the plot; this isn't even the BMI thread. I said earlier on this thread or that one that I didn't know where I am. This is the proof I guess.

Duh.


I give up. I'm only posting again - on either - if someone asks me something relevant (which they won't). Good luck with BMIs however high - and "Gokking" (ew).

If I was you, Id start by slashing the neck. I HATE t shirts on me, they dont suit me at all, so the first thing I do is take the neck out. Measure a couple of inches down either shoulder, and then, say, 2 inches down the front, and two inches down the back. Then get scissor happy and 'join the dots' so to speak.

Thank you vik6525 for this tip, it never even occured to me, last night I did this to a sweatshirt and my daughter did it to a t shirt and both look great:T

Now to step away from the scissors.........:rotfl:
