My concern for people outside the USA.

DWS - we're not doing that much better. I'm sure the feelings across the 'pond' are entirely mutual

I am tall. I have also been described (bear in mind OH has Italian family, naturally inclined to the floweryer prose) as majestic.

Find myself humming 'stately as a galleon' quite often...

Perhaps a change of handle from Sparrow to Eagle, Hawk, Kestrel etc.

I'm past the point of being too concerned. I think those in power with better minds will sort out the mess.

I'm just treating it as free entertainment and enjoying it while I can because I'm thinking (hoping?) it will all be over soon.

Unfortunately, I think that politicians are like coughs and colds.................always lurking in the background waiting to pounce on the limelight!

Well said Lumpy I also am not overweight just not tall enough to fit within the graph. Mind you that would make me about 8 foot six. The word Fat should be removed as it's offensive, and it should be replaced with stout or other less offensive terms like chunky, broad in the beam, buxom, well upholstered, well covered, well padded, of ample proportions, ample, rounded, well rounded; stocky, burly, bulky, hefty, meaty, heavily built, solidly built, thickset, heavyset, sturdy, well built.

I find all of these "grossly" offensive so may I suggest a few other descriptive phrases such as "built like a bouncy castle", "That body is even more inflated than its ego", and "You make the Michelin Man look anorexic."

Personally I prefer to be described as ' Unique'

Which is far better than eunuch

But it would be one way of losing some weight!

Back to the original thread. I think the UK have had some bizarre politicians over the years. I'm not pointing the finger as I don't want MI5 on my doorstep.

[JanieB]

Oh. Theresa May could sack the boss.

I'm impressed
So far you've all managed to keep politics out of thread that could so easily turn political
Truth be told, I'm disappointed because I haven't had to use my Pointy Stick for a long time and I'm worried it'll get dry rot

Anyway, keep playing nice and the thread stays open - you know what happens if you don't!
