    Gentlemen,
    Work has been shit lately, so in the interest of public amusement I propose a contest. The other day some of my illustrious colleagues were discussing who was London's biggest courier and everyone seemed to have diferent guys in mind (Addy Lee motorbike, Lewis day Van driver, some guy on a scooter) and all were convinced they knew the identity of London's Fattest courier. I will sponsor a pint of Alpine Lager to the messenger who can post photographic evidence of London's largest courier. Two pints if you can include yourself in the picture for scale, and three if you are both moving in traffic. Anyone feeling bold is encourged to obtain video of belly rubbing. Present your evidence on this forum.
    Happy hunting,
    Janky.

    i've seen a couple of morbidly obese motorbike couriers. worked at the same company as one, heard him talking about his treatment for it- fucking grim stuff though tbh i felt more sorry for his poor bike.

    I second the vote for the Addy Lee motorbike, if its the same guy, hes something to behold. I tried to get a pic about a year ago but failed for some reason. He has to lift his leg over the saddle and when his weight sinks down onto the suspension, the back wheel is more or less touching the tail fairings... Its a bigish bike, a 450 and he makes it look like a kids scooter. He opens the throttle wide to get going, the bike shudders, strains and ever so slowly pulls away.
    The guy is almost as wide as a car!

    Henry at Quicksilver - who was Despatch Rider of the Year in about 2003 - was persuaded by a bike shop owner to get on the scales last year. He tipped in at 32 stone. That's 450lbs. Or 205kg. I was amazed. I would have guessed 25 stone or so.

    @Count Basie its nice to see a "normal-content-post-related-without-insulting-or-critisizing-anyone" .

    Once at Old street there was this motorbike courier, a big guy, he just flip on his side with the gas tank within his legs, the all pedestrians come to help. I counted 10 people and tooked them around 10 to 15 minutes to put his back on his feet. I dont know to who he works for and who his he.

    Does anyone know the story behind these 2 statues?I mean did they actually sat on that bench or is it someone's idea to place them there?And was it during or after the war?

    whats the weather for next 21 March 2010?

    and is walkers realy doing the new banana flavor?
  25.  
    The statues refer to this meeting in Yalta, 1943.

  26.  
    The statues have only been there around 12 or 15 years. I think it was just Westminster needing to spend more of its vast cash reserves.
    A bit PC, though.
    The bloke whose army won the war is a shocking omission.

    'A bit PC, though. The bloke whose army won the war is a shocking omission'

    Perhaps he is sharing a bench with his contemporary; whose army nearly won the war,no?

    Fattest bike courier? Why that would be, me. Like Jesus I take the fat sins of the bike courier world on me and all are forgiven. Bless you and go forth and sin no more.
