davieholt Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Loved the TV commentator for the game at Hamilton. Spotting a pie eating guy with his pie eating son, he observed "looks like he's already had a few . . . " Made me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine Scottish Wine Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Seen a few former players who could do with taking the course never mind just appearing. I don't fit the criteria though, male-yes, 35 upwards-yes, but my waist and Body Mass Index just don't fit the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercats Are Go Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I like the look off this so am off to eat some burgers in an effort to gain some weight. Why does society always look to help the fat etc, they are the ones that eat too much, how about giving something back to those of us that look after ourself? Poor show hearts.

CostaJambo Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 The problem with BMI is that there is no factor increase the taller you are. I am 6'2" so in order not to be classed as overweight I should weigh 88 kilos - that is skinny as feck. That is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

According to that measure, every one of the English rugby team that won the WC in 2003 was at best overweight, with most being rated as obese. FWIW, I'm just fat, so I'm not using this as an excuse for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I'm up for this, and email sent. The wrong side of 50 and a waistline that's taken 20 years to creep from 28 to 40 probably makes me a prime candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I think I'll be doing this (as long as it's a Wednesday every week) although I'm on holiday from 15-22 October. My jeans are 38" and that's all anyone's getting to know!!! I know all I need is an incentive as I lost about three stone in as many months for the 2006 Charity Game. Sadly since 2007's game it's all crept back on and I've had nowt to aim for since then. The "competition" of training with others will hopefully bring the best out in me.

ArmiyaRomanova Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yup, I received an email too. Interestingly, the email address it was sent from was at Stirling University.
