My concern for people outside the USA.

[DWSmith]

I don't want to discuss politics ... at all.

I just wanted to express my concern for people outside the USA. I hope none of you have hurt yourselves while laughing at our political shenanigans.

Stay safe!

Thanks for your concern DW but we have enough comedians this side of the pond without needing yours

Many a true word spoken in jest!

That's what they said on here when they made me a Mod

It's not funny, it's frightening. I wouldn't take kids there as Trump is spouting BS about MMR vaccines as the struck off Andrew Wakefield has got his ear. They've already had bad outbreaks.

I agree it is very worrying but if you didn't laugh you'd cry! DWS - do you know what one of the meanings of the word trump means in English?

[Lumpy]

I think its all wonderful as if we did'nt have politicians what else would we laugh at.

I am not including the moments I suffer from where I sit open mouthed with bulgy eyes (a bit like one of those strange goldfish) when an outright daft as a box of frogs idea is put forward as being beneficial to humanity.

Viva La Revolution!

And on my manifesto is -

Rain when I want it.
Controllable tempreatures.
Compulsory gardening for kids. Well, the little ones at least.

And, finally for EVERYBODY to understand that I am not short and fat but would be in perfect proportion if I was alot taller because I would be thinner.

[Cadalot]

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.

[Lumpy]

I quite like the word 'fat' as it is to the point without being overly generous (ha ha).

I pride myself as being of Nordic descent and therefore need the extra layers of blubber in case we have another Ice Age (iceberg ahead skipper - you have to see the film to understand).

All the slim and svelt people will be the first to suffer from hypothermia and starvation.

This is my excuse and I am sticking to it!

[Lumpy]

Here Cad, after thinking about these issues for a while (tough when you only have limited brain cells) I thought that 'buxom' meant a well developed chest area?

Whoopeeeeeee..............I have one of those but.................

I also have a matching middle and rear end area so I'm not so much buxom as 'barrelesque!

[Nannysally99]

I'm with Lumpy, just not tall enough, not fat really
For the OP, each country has its cross to bear, and if you can laugh with it, so to the good

[Cadalot]

Lumpy do you remember this

[Lumpy]

Nope, I don't Cad but I had a very sheltered upbringing......................
