I think the point was the someone who weighs 39 stone can't exactly do much with their child, given that they probably can't do much for themselves. Apart from sweat, eat, get out of breath and perform gravity-assisted feats of movie magic with Harrison Ford.

Glandular or not, mass comes from somewhere. In the case of humans it's food. Put less in, you put less on - it's simple. You don't get fat eating salad... just ask any vegetarian!!

There was an interesting documentary on Channel 4 recently about a massively fat kid who had every excuse in the book and a mother who kept pandering to his feeding habits which (some would say unsurprising) consisted of junk food, take-aways, and stuff of that ilk. When it came to "treating" him - i.e. cutting off the lard supply - he turned out to be incredibly weak-willed.

I guess some people are just happy needing the Fire Brigade's help to get out of the house. But one thing's for sure: people that fat can't exactly do all the meaningful active stuff with their kids that the rest of us can enjoy. Stuff that add an important layer of bonding and learning with their child.

Batteries?

Let's hope these aren't part of another Sony battery recall. The last thing a user would want is the groin support going up in flames... My walker's on fire! RUN! Oh I can't... I'm strapped into the shoes. Unless the batteries are in the shoes of course.

Great Balls of Fire, or a dramatic reconstruction of Michael Flatley's "Feet of Flames". Take your pick :-D

Oh FFS.

Bloody Disney.

That is all.

Spot on Hywel

Precisely! I've long since found Sony's range to be ridiculous. The functional differences between models is negligible, and often the handsets are the same as each other but just in a different case - would you like a little orange button with that or a metallic case with the same button on the side? Utter piffle.

They had a good idea with the K850i, and the touch buttons. Then they took it too far with the next model and put six of them around the screen instead of leaving the camera controls on the keypad. Result - back to small screens for ZERO functional gain.

Sony lost their way ages ago. They need a damn good kick up the jacksy! 5 really good models would do. 73 cases of "same crud, different wrapper" needs sorting out. It's basic business sense. Paris - cos she'd have a simpler range of phones than SE ;-)
