"Stone", Philip? Been reading too many of Huw's posts, have you? (That's
161 pounds for those not in the know).I must be a fatty then. I'm 6' 2" and 174 lbs (just weighed myself to be sure).
C'mon Thomas, what do *you* weigh?
Already been posted.
Must be. I just told Huw I'd "ring" the local VW dealer for a work quote. LOL
Post it again .... just of r TeGGer.

After I posted that messsage it occurred to me that it would have been more fun to just have posted my own weight as 12½ stone and let everyone else figure it out. Oh well, next time...
And if that quote was far below what you thought you'd pay, then you'd be well chuffed!
Off to watch telly now.
Cheers.

And so it has. "5'11" and weigh 190".
So I'd say you qualify for "porky", "stout", "roly-poly", "plus-sized" or maybe "pleasingly plump", but probably not "obese".
According to the BMI GUIDE ( that is all it is, a guide ) I do not "qualify" as obese. Yes, you might be able to call me overweight. Guess that all depends.I fit into a "gray area" in that guide. Is a foot ball player at 230 overweight? How bout a heavy weight boxer? Body builder? Are you a "qualified" doctor and know enough about me to make that determination? I'm not clairvoyant, but I'll be able to make a very safe bet you do not. There is a lot more than a BMI guide that goes into it. But being of a small and bigoted mind, I doubt you or the short bus kid can grasp it.
12½ stones .... how about 2.65 talents? ;-)
Hehehhehhe
"Moats" is ... on the way! LOL
Aren't we a bit sensitive!
Point proven. Let me guess, your "check is in the mail"?
"Thomas Moats" spake unto the assembled masses in news: snipped-for-privacy@corp.supernews.com:
It depends on where the weight is, above the bottom of the rib cage or below it.
And is that a 230 lb quarterback or a 230 lb lineman (not that you'd find a lineman that light)? Linemen are built for bulk, not health. A pot on them serves as inertia, which is very useful in their jobs. Quarterbacks have to be nimble. A pot on them would be a serious liability.
Either way, a 230 lb non-athlete is much more likely to resemble a pear than a 230 lb athlete.
'Course not. I'm just a TeGGeR®. I was needling you because I was getting a defensive reaction and that made it funny. Same reason Philip® did it too.
Short bus kid? Who's he and where'd he come in to this?

Are you using the Babylonian Talmud definition of "talent"?
Hey, how about 4.84 poods? Figure THAT one out! ;^)
Russian weight, approx 36 lbs per "pood" 167 lbs. Took me a couple of minutes to find "pood" because all the references were in a language I'm illiterate in.
"Philip®" spake unto the assembled masses in news:4OJyb.23515$ snipped-for-privacy@newsread2.news.pas.earthlink.net:
My references all say about 36.1 lb per pood, so 4.84 poods is 175 lbs approx:
Defensive to what?
As Philip says, a careful reader would have caught it.
Frequently.

Hardly enough for you to equate "full-sized adult" with "obese"...
Me??? Are you kidding? I'm voicing against your bigotry and lack of logic, not because I'm fat. FYI, I fall in the FIT category!
Yet, 80% of the population is considered fit. Just drop this line because it cannot stand on because it's plain false.
Yet, shouldn't be used as an explanation of a fact. Excuses are by definition a lie.
Oops... I multiplied 4.64 instead of 4.84.
