Ricks in Soho .
Tubby Tales for today. I think it’s a bit devious for a restaurant to operate a discriminatory policy without having the balls to actually define it. This one doesn’t say: “This toilet is not for fat people so waddle off.” In the U.S. the vultures would be circulating with their class action lawsuits, but hey, it’s his restaurant, he can do what he likes, just not sure how he got it passed by the Fire Services Department though
Airlines however, continue to allow situations like the one pictured below; of course it’s an American Airlines flight. Without getting into the inconvenience caused to the wee skinny fella next to him, where would you want to be if you had to evacuate.
And don’t get me started on my excess baggage allowance argument.
But change is in the air, Kevin Smith, the film director, who doesn’t even look fat, got thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight for not being able to buckle his belt. Meanwhile, Ryanair; you gotta love Michael O’Leary Quotes, is considering a ‘fat tax’ and Air France are introducing a “buy two seats if you can’t get your arse in one” policy.

Is it time for wee Asterix to take back our public space from big Obelisk, will our erstwhile wobbling weebles finally accept the truth of a simple equation: If X is calorific intake, and Y is energy expended and X=Y, we have equilibrium, however, if you sit on the couch gorging junk food all day and do sweet fuck all exercise, your lardiness is down to your tardiness, it’s your freedom of choice and no-one else should have to suffer with your pathetic low esteem crap, not to mention the risk to us of a horrible death in a crash landing ‘cos some wannabe Mr Creosote got stuck in the aisle!

I’m not exactly ‘fit’ so I do step on my toes on this one, but I once had to fly back to the UK with 2 guys on either side of me and one of them “ate all the pies in the family”. As soon as I sat down it was a battle for the arm rest. Even though I thought he should have bought two seats he was still able to buckle up for the flight. I felt bad for the guy on my other side as he was a skinny guy and at the same time I was thinking why didn’t they put him in between me and the ‘other’ fat guy hahaha. However I felt bad for him because i was taking up his space to make for my lost space. But hey, I couldn’t do anything about it and plus the skinny guy had the aisle. However it was unfortunate for him when either me or the fat guy had to pass through to get to the bathroom!
