mildly amusing Bike mag spam

[1] has asked if I know any massive
motorcyclists. Amusingly, the qualification threshold is 18 stone. Not what
I would call massive by UKRM standards. 75th percentile perhaps.

[1] should get him a reply or two from the spambots

 

maybe it wasn't spam - maybe he's just heard you're a bit of a bloater.

I certainly didn't get it.

 

I usually wouldn't consider a specific email from someone vaguely
recognisable in the first instance to be spam - I'd at least enquire where
they got the details from.

But I haven't got an email either

 

Oh and TOG probably gave him the email addresses in the first place

 

dwb emerged from their own little world to say

The email wasn't from SH directly. It was from some marketing company
and linked to a Zoomerang.com survey where SH asks for the contact
details of bloaters as Darsy puts it. I thought it odd that a genuine
email address appeared next to the text box of the survey.

Heh and thanks. I may be a fat ****[1] but I'm considerably under their
threshold.

[1] BMI over 30.

 

To quote SH circa 1997, after he crashed Performance Bike's Bandit
1200, after attempting to wheelie it out of a roundabout:

"I didn't really know what I was doing".

I expect he knows as much about the Internet as he does about bikes.

 

that's just "fat", I guess, rather than full-on bloater.

 

darsy emerged from their own little world to say

BMI over 30 is officially obese. I need to grow 3 inches in height or lose
about 18lbs to be "just fat"

 

You reckon? I doubt it very much indeed. My guess would be closer to
90th.

Ditto. However, I'm rather tall too.

 

18 stone?
Lightweights.

yeah, I told him you'd probably throw a hissy-fit if he didn't ask you
nicely.

 

I thought I was a bloater when I hit 15 stone. And my arthritis
specialist did too. Much dire warnings about joint damage with
increased weight followed :-(

Still - I'm now back to a sylphlike 12 stone.

THat's what worries me about my various joint aches and pains - I haven't
got an awful lot of weight to lose and it's highly likely I'm going to get
anything but larger as I get older.

would you like to buy a "not"?

 

Or he could use an "un" which is cheaper as it isn't a complete word.
