The only downside I found about being very lean is that I got cold quickly (no insulation y'see 
).
Dunno like, every fat bird I've ever bucked has been cold to the touch - too much padding to heat, I figured ; )).

Our lifts remain broken so the office fatty is still off. Except she gets fully paid sick leave ffs
A serious point here; in the event of a fire, you cannot use lifts. Is there provision in place to get her down the stairs if there is a fire? I have a drag mat (seriously!) - you put a person in the mat and it slides along the floor. Useful for disabled people in wheel chairs as well.It's not pretty, and it's not comfy (we've tested it), but it will get you down the stairs in case of a fire.

On an unrelated note, the worst thing about no lifts is listening to the smokers whining they don't have time for a fag on their break

Sounds like a giggle. Although, if there is a fire and you load her on to that, she'll be suing the company for breach of her human rights as everyone falls about laughing if she's dragged down 7 flights of steps.

6' & 11 stone has to be anorexia central and a sign of a potential student life not lived, surely? I'm a touch taller and would look very ill at that weight. Very, very ill.
have to agree Im 6 ft 3 and 14 stone and Im trying to bulk to 15 stone... when I was 11 stone 10 about a year an a half ago I looked genuinely Ill.. gaunt features and had the body of a 12 year old. 
Genuine question . . . can either of you can imagine a phenotype that isn't "anorexic" at that weight and height? Yes or no?
Edit to Add: the guy talking about the BMI of 20 something at 11 stone and 6ft, BMI is a poor indicator of anything.. It doesnt take into account anything other than height and weight. basically according to BMI, most of my rugby mates should be seeing a specialist to deal with being morbidly obese.

I recently joined a new doctors due to moving location and the tests they have you do when joining are all automated. So I do the BP test, all fine, do the height test and then do a weight test and then the machine tells me I'm morbidly obese! I laughed.
I then get a call to come in and talk about my weight and the receptionist thinks I'm in denial about my weight when I say I do weight lifting so begrudgingly I go in as I needed some inhalers anyway and the nurse ticks me off for wasting her time for a prescription of inhalers that only a doctor can hand out.
All amusing stuff, still I got my inhalers and the doc no longer thinks I'm a fatty!

We've had fire drills before and she still manages to walk down the stairs, since she's not registered disabled. We do have two other people who have difficulty walking, but to be honest I don't actually know what the procedure is for them.

Ah I see - so it's just the "up" bit which is the bad bit for her On an unrelated note, the worst thing about no lifts is listening to the smokers whining they don't have time for a fag on their break

Seriously, there really is a problem brewing
So what do you want to do about it?I say legalise canabalism. Those who can't run fast enough get eaten, or they learn to run fast enough and shed pounds in the process.
It won't just cure obesity (or public embarrassment on a civilsational scale as I see it) though. It will cure the employment issues (want a job, eat the person who has it), cure economic issues (reduce overcrowding and correct supply and demand), cure fiscal problems (got debt, eat the person with the richest-stocked house), cure food over-pricing (suddenly all food markets have to compete with a freely available and abundant source), return to naturism and cure the weakening human gene pool (the weak die, the strong survive), and the best balanced micro and macro nutrient food source there is for a human etc...
The one and only drawback is someone decided that canabalism is not humane. A reason why, no Alpha male can find.

In the meantime, go and have a little lie down
