    I would have thought it would have made you smile as their life expectancy would be lower.

    Only if they are smoking at the same time.

    Nothing wrong with fat girl loving. They make the rock in' world go round! (According to freddie). I can confess I have a soft spot for the more rubust specimen, pretty face is optional.

    I'm old enough to remember the front cover from fat bottomed girls / bicycle race. I was only a kid, but it must have made a lasting impression!

    Not really very fair, after all we all get the same size seat. If you are thin it's bearable, if you're average it's uncomfortable, if you're fat it's awful.

    You are paying for your seat. We all get the same seat.

    Tall people often have to pay for "extra legroom" seats, so on that basis why not have "extra width" seats which fat people can pay for?

    But what if the person next to you is spilling into your seat?

    Apart from when your fat spills over into someone else's seat, and they ask you to raise the arm rest in the cruise because they couldn't say no to yet another tube of Maryland cookies.
