25 stone man thinking of suing for crashing into a pothole

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

This man is probably going to be celebrated by some on here.

So many things wrong with this story, I don't know where to start.

He is and 25 stone, and his mobility scooter hits a pothole and he goes face first into it.

Some real winners here


1) Getting to 25 stone - thats one hell of an achievement in itself

2) Missing a pothole big enough to tip a slow moving electric mobility scooter, so not looking for where he is going

3) Because he is so heavy, they needed to close the road and get a special piece of equipement to lift him...


The council should be suing HIM!!

I'd pay good money to see the video.

"burger and chip breakfast at his local pub..."

But would he be classed as disabled if he wasn't such a fat fecker?

He had just finished a burger and chips breakfast at his local pub in Romford, Essex, when his motorised wheelchair hit the pothole, catapulting him face-first into the road.

No.

A cameo of everything that's wrong.

I've had enough of fat fkers on invalid scooters

Don't these disgusting, multi-chinned, bingo-winged gastropods realise that if they walked instead of relying of their scooters to take them to the cake shop then they might actually once again glimpse their own, shrivelled and useless penis.

I'd have left the fat fker in the gutter until he was able to move under his own power. Lazy fat bd

ETA: I haven't read the article - I have a major aversion to the Mail. However - not as great as my aversion to massive, lazy fatso's.

TheCarpetMan in clover. Another story about a claim.

Well spotted, although the Mail does make it nice and easy for you doesn't it? Right under the asylum seeker column I expect.

Yawn.

Oh dear oh dear.

This fat git is one of the reasons my taxes are so high. He should have just been left there until he was slim enough to get up and walk home under his own steam.

Get real.

We pay first rate money to the councils and Govt for first rate roads. In return we get third rate roads. I've seen better on the edge of the Sahara. Says a lot when Morocco can lay a strip of tarmac out the middle of nowhere, and we have pot holes on busy roads.

And I've damaged a car with a deep pothole that took out two tyres. Had to abandon the car, and then spent the following day messing around back and forth with a new tyre. Not before getting a parking ticket because of the "no return within 1 hour". Had the tickets on the windscreen, car is immobilised, and I got a parking ticket as well, that wasn't cancelled - as it was a different borough from the pot hole.

So frankly, he can sue the arse off the council and good look to him cause they are a bunch of thieving ****s.

Quick thing to point out to those screaming, the article says he has Multiple Sclerosis, which is a pretty debilitating condition, chances are he's stuck to his old "bus driver" diet but because of the MS any exercise he was getting before has tailed off (and which probably put him in the scooter, MS sufferers generally have major problems with mobility), hence why he's now 25 stone.

Just wanted to point out that while the burger breakfast is a pretty big contributor, it's not the only contributor

Oh I take it all back.

Shall we just kill him and have the OP carpet over him?

You weighist lot. I'm over 18 stone, 25 doesn't feel too far away.

His face is a bit of a mess.

<Jimmy Carr> I'm not Fattist. You are fattist. <Jimmy Carr>

Nothing wrong with being a big lad - but if you are so fat you have ceased to move under your own power then there is zero sympathy. Mobility scooters are for proper disabled's - not fat lazy bds

No, no, no...!

AFAIK mobility scooters are not self-aware. He drove the fecking thing into a pothole!
Massive difference, but not such a good story for the Wail I suppose.

and the outcome of this is that still wont divert funds to fix potholes quickly instead their divert funds to make it easier for fatties to get around........this particular fatty should be imprisoned and forced to eat properly.....

[Uhura_Fighter]

A bus driver with MS - I am guessing but wouldn't the DVLA stop him from driving his bus?

You'll need a fking good under-lay.
