This is the last thing i will say on this riders room tiff. I wasn't slagging anyone off, i merely made a joke about greg being a gnome and he reacted in his usual violent abusive manner which warrented a comeback. I have no reason to call greg or get in contact. I don't see what this has to do with you Overdrive, hell iv'e insulted you untold amounts on this forum. Caspar you sound like you still think you are the CoNTroller.

its quite easy mike, you know i dont like you, so why do you try and make a joke at my expense, unless you are just trying to fuck me off?.........just think about it

also caspar is right, what goes on between other people has got fuck all to do with you

overdraft.....you are a one aint ya! hahhah

Anyone who ever worked for Metro were all cnuts......there.

Now put your trousers back on....all of you!

and remember we are all amabassadors for courierdom-ness

yeah winston i agree, big cunts with big cunt salary, not sure if thats better or worse than little cunts with little cunt salary though?

yep trousers, not skirts

xxxxxxx

give him one for me, always fancied that cute way he speaks english with that ponsy french accent

just to get back to fat messenger stuff...

anyone else ever lose a load of weight....off there face?

Just noticing that in the last few months I no longer have a very roundy face, but am still the same size everywhere else.

it's kinda creepy.

@Nhatt, one of the first places I put on weight when I quit was around my face....

I must admit winston, you do have a rather round face, and that's coming from me.

since my broken leg and sitting around for half the year i am now a fat git. i agree with the face thing but it seems to take a full weeks work to drop the cheeks so don't worry but it's the rest that takes a bit of shifting. Working off and on as i always did my face has hollowed and filled out a few times.

...or you, zack, who seems to not be able to see a subject change/ moving swiftly on sort of moment when it's biting you in your less-full-than-winston's face.

My weight, since I stopped curryiering, has been up and down like a yo yo some months I'm 10st some others I'm 10.5st.

I'm a bit worried about that myself. I'm applying to go to Uni full time from next year, and I recon it will only take three months before a fellow messenger asks me if i'm pregnant.

i quit racing and stopped messengering at roughly the same time.
my weight rocket up for abot one month then dropped rapidly after that and at 1 point i was 1 stone lighter than when i was on the bike
since then, most of my life is sat at a desk so my weight fluctuates a huge amount depending on my alcohol intake,season and amout of work im doing and where im doing it (i can smoke at my desk if im working at the studio)
also i worked out that its actually easy to lose wight when you aint messengering...........if you aint riding, DONT eat so much, you dont need the calories....oh and drink vodka!

Ah yes but uk student loans you don't have to pay back! Well, they aren't too hard to get out of paying back and even if you do have to, it usually ends up being a fiver a week or something. I understand the not wanting to get into debt thing though, at least student loans aren't the kind where you get sent letters and threatened with bailiffs if you don't pay it back. If you're over 21 then it shoudn't be too hard to go somewhere as a mature student, as long as you can show you've really got some interest in the field and you have some kind of portfolio then you should be able to find somewhere that'll take you.

Iron Eye, you obviosly have never been a girl

Festerban, I am going to apply to a few places, i'll let you know what happens.

Yeah, i've been reading alot of stuff on that. I'm planning on popping into saint martin's next week during a lull in work and asking their people about finance. Being both old and commited makes me think they might take me.

i treat uni as an investment in myself, i dont mind getting myself into all sorts of debt as i believe that the qualifications that i'm hopefully gonna get will mean that i wont be too much in debt for that long, hence why i' work 7am till 11pm seven days a week in order to get my 1st and then be able to continue onto a masters and phd.

i wouldn't worry bout the weight too much, just eat sensibly and do as much exercise as u can in the time that u have available.

Well at least you won't be cold this winter! What is the threshold fat percentage before you can be called a fat bastard? How do them scales measure fat then? Electrical conductivity? You posh bugger, all that my scales measure is weight. I don't understand all this kilogram business, everyone should re-post their weight in stone and pounds. Hey did you know if you get in a lift and stand on some scales while you're in it, your weight increases if the lift's going up, and decreases if it's going down. We tested this in a-level physics and the one (totally not fat at all) girl in our group flatly refused to try it, obviously because she didn't want anyone to see her weight, embarrassed or ashamed of it. I wish there was not such an obsession with weight in our 'culture', it's fucking meaningless unless you have some sort of physical illness, and all it does is breed insecurity or worry, and makes perfectly normal people think they're fat.

I think obese is technically 25%.

oi bill, you wanna try an experiment?
do your scales only measure 'body fat' content, or the total amount of fat on the scale?
like for example you wear hair wax, use olive oil soap, GT85 deodrant or you are a naturally a great big greasy maggot?
grab a bar of lard and get back on, see if the % changes..im actually really interested to know

ah bill, the remark 'like for example you wear hair wax, use olive oil soap' wasnt a direct attack on you particularly, its more of a 'you' in general...but im still interested to know the result
