Should fat people pay extra on the bus?

No the rule is that if 2 people from the same family are on the bus the more senior of the 2 gets the seat, as is proper. The younger one (even if they are an adult) however has to sit on the elder?s lap so as not to take up other people?s seats.

Then maybe your chubbiness may be FAT to someone else?

I reckon if I met Roger Moore on a bus, he standing, I sitting I'd get up and offer my seat to him.

He'd charmingly refuse, but I'd insist saying it was a matter of principle on my part to offer my seat to a senior citizen.

He'd accept my offer with effusive thanks and I'd demur saying that there was no need and that I was no saint.

At which point we'd both make full eye contact and both chant the riff from The Saint DU DU DU DU DER DEEEER and Roger would mime looking up at the cartoon halo as he used to do at the beginning of each show.

Generally thought by most to be his very finest eyebrow work, by the way.

Anyway, the person next to him gets up, I take their seat and Roger regales me with stories about what a complete nuisance Richard Harris was on the shoot of The Wild Geese all the way to Waterloo Station.


If it's Sean Connery though I wouldn't bother. He can go and bloody scratch as far as I'm concerned.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?


Are you an offended fatty by any chance, karter?

LMFAO! This is hilarious!


I'm so glad I saw this, as I was feeling so down in the dumps from Cath Balan's animal cruelty threads...


I get sat on by fat people all the time. I think they take advantage, because I don't take up my whole seat! It's either that or I have somebody elbowing me while they eat or read their newspaper. Urgh! I hate being touched by strangers! I feel violated!!

Let just add a note of caution to Giggi's very sensible proposition that a child should be seated on an adult's lap in order to free up a seat for a standee.

Should Roger Moore and his son Geoffrey be sitting on the bus don't expect Roger to take Geoffrey on his lap, Geoff is fully-growed now and his weight could play hob with Roger's knees. Not that Geoff's fat or anything, just sturdy.

Mind you, why isn't he giving his seat up instaed of expecting his old dad to cause irrepairable damage to his legs by by 'lapping' him.

Just who the hell does he think he is? The bloody insufferable pup, with his towering sense of entitlement.


Anyway if Sean Connery is standing on the bus, kick him in the slats. B@stard.


Edited because my spelling suffers when I get a bit worked up.

Thinking about it if Forsyth and Corbett were sitting on the bus together, would it be in order to expect Bruce to take Ronnie on his lap to make room for a 'standee'.

I'd say yes, but then I will admit to not giving a toss about Brucie's knees as opposed to Roger's.

Mind I'm sure that the two of them would then launch into an 'improv' of a vent act and entertain all the passengers, I reckon even the older standees would forget their aching knees and instead be clutching their aching sides at the free mirth-fest the two old golfing Water Rats would be providing (all except Sean Connery of course, he'd be pointedly staring out of the window and tut-tutting under his breath, the jive-ass turkey).


Mind I'd still dob Brucie in to Big Vern and advise him to offer violence to the pencil-neck mofo.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Sue · Posted

      The country didn't "hate Corbyn". Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer, if memory serves, and it was only due to our weird electoral system that they didn't win the previous election. Any hatred of Corbyn was whipped up by the right wing press. The Labour Party has completely lost its way. It doesn't seem to know what it stands for any more, and its members have deserted it in droves. Including me. Anyway, this is probably for the lounge, not being directly relevant to the subject of the thread.

      Agree but Labour made a far worse start and the wheels seem to be falling off spectacularly quickly. Whatever the reason for Reeves' tears it made the markets very jittery and now there is real doubt about how much longer she will last but Starmer cannot afford to lose her - I think they are both toast and the likes of Rayner and Streeting will be licking their chops. A bit like what is happening with Cllr McAsh locally the internal politics of the Labour party always are the real driver of policy, direction and execution and for a government with such a huge majority to be struggling so much so early is really worrying. We should all be very scared because this is paving the way for Reform and a leadership challenge or swing to the farther-left within Labour would be an unmitigated disaster - we had another term of Boris because the country hated Corbyn and his far-left ideology and the far-left Labour may see a leadership challenge as their only feasible way to take the reigns - a bit like Cllr McAsh and his Momentum buddies.

      He has been around for a few months now and looks so sad and unhappy   ,he is coming into the gardens at the top end of  Upland and  Dunstans Roads .Just wondered if he is owned as he is not neutered and keeps getting into fights with cats .

      Starting with Brexit, all the way through to drunken lock down parties, and then finishing on Liz Truss' 'mini budget', I would say it was fairly disastrous from start to finish.
