    He can always hear them talk

    Me?

    Im just a lawnmower
    You can tell by the way I walk
    Keep them mowing blades sharp

    I just touched 16.5 stone in weight there, I am 6 foot 2 though. I'm on my rowing machine for 90 minutes each day now because I can no longer fit into some very expensive clothes. I will not stop until I get to 14 stone.
