  6. I have to concur that when I first met Hog, ie this spring, he was
    nothing like the porker I was expecting with a handle like that
    (IYSWIM)

    checking BMI I would be 26.something. Apparently this is "overweight". To be
    in the green I need to be 11.5 stone! no_fucking_way. Simple BMI seems to
    be a rather fucked concept anyway.

    I'd look like Kate Moss. Well rather I'd look better than Kate Moss IYSWIM.
    Sheesh, I'd rather be ging-er

  8. It is - since it just measures weight and not what the weight consists
    of. And muscle is more dense than fat (and hence weighs more) which
    means the musclely types will show up much worse on the BMI charts than
    people like me who have never seen the inside of a weight room in their
    lives..

    Fortunetly I'm somehow in the green range in the BMI charts (6 foot
    tall and 12 1/2 stone) so I don't get whinged at by the diabetic nurse
    or the arthritis specialist (who also thinks that the BMI charts are
    useless!).
