Plumpness in Edinburgh Posted Mon Sep 3 19:44:54 BST 2001 by 'Smeraldina'

The funniest people I saw in Edinburgh this year were all a bit on the plump side or outright fat. Garth Marenghi, Sean Cullen, Rich Fulcher, Richard Herring, Mike Wilmott, Daniel Kitson. I'm beginning to like that in a man.

You fatties sound like you've been chewing into something more substantial than anonymity for starters. Admit it it's a four course fry-up every bloody night. Mt advice is either take up exercise or join the TA. Burn some of the fat off and you can go back to your 'anonymity for starters' or chicken vindaloo or whatever ram down your gullets. Fight the flab first then start thinking about new ways to fill your gut.

Oh dear I missed out lots of words:

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with being fat. I have many fat friends. I don't go out with them obliviously, they cramp my style (and they'd cramp the bar) but that doesn't mean I think any the worse of them. I've nothing against any of my ugly fat friends. Anyone of them would make the perfect foil.

Is that all it takes Rich? If so, I'm in there then.

And Gee, if you knew the first thing about what turns women on, (which you plainly don't) - then you would realise that we prefer a man who we can laugh with in bed than a bitter, twisted old fella like you.

Sorry Melissa. I'm so fat I can't even get into my own pants!
I was just saying that being anonymous isn't a great start. Knowing someone's name isn't quite enough. Or I'd have to have sex with Gee. Which might be worth it to see the look on his face

To be honest guys unless you are naturally sleek like Ben Moor spending any time in Edinburgh makes you a bit of a porker. It has a lot to do with the long opening hours of the pubs and that every food is deep-fried , some are even double-fried like pizzas.

As to getting off with people, forget knowing names (keep the mystery alive) but I do find that being in the same room helps. I'm old fashioned like that.

The image of someone sexually satisfying Johnny Vegas just popped into my head, so I think it should stay that way, Melissa.

Is it harassment to keep telling Richard Herring he is a cutie tho?

That would be the missionary position then Rich?

Well you've clearly not been in bed with me then. For foreplay I go through my Woody Allen repertoire and when she's peaked I climax with my Hancock. And it's an insult to think that just because someone is in their late thirties they're not having sex. There's plenty of prostitutes in the local paper (This is all humour you understand. I don't actually do any of these things).

And just so there's no misunderstand: I'm actually a fan of the boy Herring and in no way do I consider him fat. Chubby yes, but not fat.

I remember you when you could spell your name, Louise. and for the fact that "sleeperbloke" is now part of my vocabulary.

Thank you all so much! Maybe one day I'll get off my arse and record something. After all we were a fuck sight better than Echobelly.

And I'll fucking spell my name anyway I want to!

BTW I blame our recline on doing Life's a Gas on TFI Friday. Can someone kill Evans for me. Cheers.

Speaking of Louise (or whatever) Weiner's birthday at the REM Milton Keynes Bowl concert, how old was she? My mate and I remain convinced that Stipey announced her age as 16. Clearly she wasn't. Did we imagine this?

Louise Wener. i don't know how old she was. He did say it. he said "She's sweet sixteen, everybody" or something similar, despite her not being that age. I think he did it cos she looked so young compared to him!

Nobody truly understands the pain of being thin. With fat people, people say 'Oh, they're not fat, they're cuddly!' but thin people? Thin people have all got the aids.

And for girls, if they're chubby they get sympathy and encouragement, but thin girls are 'stupid anorexic bitches'.

We thin blokes wish we could put on weight! I'd rather be fat like my friend Rob, than a 'Lanky twat'.

Now, by describing myself as that, you're going to associate me with someone like Iain Lee and hate me! You see the prejudice we have to put with? You see my point??

I have nothing against skinny people other than they should eat and drink more.

Skinny people can't possibly have any fun as they patently don't eat enough food that has any calorofic value and don't drink lager or Guinness.

They also tend to exercise which cuts into your eating and drinking time as well as the valuable time when you should be sprawled in front of your telly watching the Sci Fi Channel or playing on your playstation whilst eating a giant packet of Chocolate buttons.

Some of my best friends are skinny.

I'm skinny and I do fuck all exercise, drink too much, take drugs, eat curry every chance I get.

No real point I just wanted to annoy some girls, cos they always think they're fat, like my girlfriend, just remember Bernard Manning is fat you are not.

Whose for kidnapping Geri and force feeding her Ghee?
