You're welcome - but on the grounds that you're thanking me, it's clearly not a true likenessOriginally posted by SallyAnneHa ha - I did guess you were joking

EO, I'm 6ft 8" and down to 18 and a half stone. What do you weigh?Originally posted by EqualOpportunitiesI may be doing myself an injustice here... I've never habitually drunk Brown Ale... I don't know exclusively drink gin... and I'm a couple of stone overweight... which on a 6'4" frame probably ain't as bad as it could be.
Mind you, either way, I think stomach stapling would be a shade more dramatic and certainly more invasive

Just how big are you, to make such a drastic change? I'd have thought stomach stapling would be less dramatic!

Originally posted by SallyAnneI never understand why people drink Newcastle Brown - do you realise only the total head-the-balls up here drink it? 2 bottles and they're fighting.
We went to New York in December and they had it in some really cool bars in the village - bizarre
Havn't drunk that since I was a student, even then it was only when I was flush. The usual was snakebite and black
It does turn up in some odd places. Anywhere outside of Newcastle and it's seen as some sort of premium brew. God knows why!
