    No, but saw a show about a woman with no legs who didn't use a wheelchair... used a skateboard to get around. Had a specially modified car that she could drive with her hands. She said that she's just like a Barbie doll with the legs taken off her; everything else works just fine.

    It was at the point that I had to change the channel. I was trying to eat my dinner.

    They modify cars like that for people wth Multiple sclerosis (my Auntie for example). It's pretty cool, almost like a video game.

    I'm not doubting her honesty, but I felt ill thinking of someone roiding her!

    But enough about her. Her problems aren't self-inflicted so I can only comiserate with her.

    The fat c*nt was fat when he was a kid and his mother kept giving him sh*t food... now he has a wife and she keeps giving him sh*t food... he's now in a nursing home and he brought "snacks" in and refuses to eat the healthy food they give him, and since they can't force him, he's eating hamburgers.

    Dunno how the bloke goes to the toilet. I don't really want to know either.

    Would have to be a posthumous honour, at the end of the programme, the 50 stone dude went to the big steakhouse in the sky.

    For some reason my mam always wants to watch shows like this the last one was on TV3 it was called size matters and would put you off eating ever again. I suppose the shock factor of seeing someone so big is a comfort to some people in the "I might be overweight but at least I'm not that bad" sense.

    I saw that show awhile back. Thought it was ridiculous that this guy was taking up (a lot of) space in the home and his wife was just smuggling in junk food.

    Anyone see the woman whose stomach weighed 11 stone or something? Her stomach alone weighs 3 stone more than my whole body. Is there no point where these people just realise that they need to do something? (Well, they do come to this conclusion, usually about 5-6 years after they stopped moving.)

    I would say that's EXACTLY the reason. My mate's unable to shift the weight she put on after having kids and she's obsessed with it. She loves those shows too.

    I loved the end of the show, they had a fat mate of his talking after he died. Quote of the century.

    "He wanted to lose the weight, he knew the foods to eat and how to do it. He just could not figure out the way to do it"

    WTF? Stop eating the junkfood and burgers you fat peice of lard.


    As for the wife bring him snacks, she was no spring chicken herself. I'd say she was around 25 stone. Maybe she kept him around so she could feel good about herself?
