A bit council (Vol 5)

As someone who is quite happy to admit I'm addicted to smoking, can't say I'm loving the fact people addicted to eating are getting so many concessions on flights. If the chonk is getting two seats can I not get my vape out to make my flight more comfortable?

Chubsters have added human rights, as they have no will power.
Smokers have no human rights, as they have no will power.

That’s life, boy. As a man with a bar of soap up his arse said.

Speaking as a chubster (albeit one who car fit in a seat!) I'd say this woman is a deluded lunatic. If she can't fly maybe it'll encourage her to lose about 15stone

I investigated gliding lessons recently, a glider for teaching has to carry two adults, the weight of the glider and still be able to soar on a thermal, for that reason there was a person mass limit, These clinically obese people will never have a glider licence, they are too heavy for the laws of physics whether that is gravity or air flow lift dynamics in this particular situation.

Apparently they need jet propulsion and for other people (passengers) to be subserviant to their own particular needs. Wow self servicing specials.that they are.

Imagine getting on a plane and finding someone that size in the seat next to you. You'd be livid.

You can just imagine the huffing, puffing and snorting.

As she wants to make it a 'human rights' issue for 'passengers of size', I have to ask: "What about my human rights to not be squashed by some enormous disgusting lump of lard?" Or are my rights as a normal sized person not important?

The rights issue revolves around her, not you. Why would you be important in her world? ME! ME! ME! not YOU!

If they let fatties have 2 seats and they cannot discriminate based on size or weight, I want 2 seats too, only seems fair

Yep. Im going gliding in 2 weeks. First time since being in the air cadets. I needed to lose some weight.

Being 6'4" I'm comfortable paying for additional legroom seats when I can which I need through no fault of my own or anyone else's.

I really don’t mind sitting next to an oversize person, I always book the aisle seat so it gives a little more relief if one is sitting next to some who is overweight. For me the absolute worst of folks is those that smoke. They stink and quite often they’ve smoked a pack of fags before boarding the plane because they are so weak willed they can’t last a four to five hour flight to Cyprus for example. I have to make sure that they don’t breathe on me or I would be sick. Their clothes smell, their hands smell, it’s something I’ve hated since childhood. I’m sure they don’t realise they stink as they must be immune to it. How do their partners put up with kissing them? I imagine it would be the equivalent of kissing a rancid manky ashtray? Perhaps they could be sprayed head to toe in a special smell reducing vapour before boarding the plane? Crying kids and self entitled parents, there’s another load of people I hate.

You hate crying kids? Nice.

Just to clarify, kids constantly crying whilst on a plane.

That's lovely for you. If I ever find out I'll be sat next to you on a plane, I'll make sure I smoke a packet of particularly strong smelling cigarettes before I get on, just to make the flight extra enjoyable for you.

It's also probably best that my nicotine levels are quite high if I'm spending 4 or 5 hours sitting next to someone so intolerant who has a problem with crying kids and people breathing.

I’d hate sit next to you, the whining would be louder than the engines.

Can’t stand kids on planes either - not their fault, it’s the usual inconsiderate parents that are the problem - “they’re just kids”.

If I can’t get a seat with an extended legroom behind me I’ll resort to the back row - why? So I don’t have someone’s little darling kicking the back of my seat for the entire duration of the flight. Why do people allow their kids to do this? It’s very very common.

[Rich Boy Spanner]

I can generally deal with kids, seat kickers excluded. What I can't stand are the obnoxious, loud swearing drunks and the 'Hey mate, would you mind swapping the seat you paid extra for so that I can sit next to my equally gormless, tracksuit wearing and low IQ friend who is sat 30 rows away'.
I used to visit customers in Amsterdam and on flights back to the UK I would be sat next to borderline catatonic dope smelling scrotes. Hateful pondlife scum.
The British can't behave, the United Kingdom of Council.

Before pressing the reveal button, I thought Terry Christian looked familiar and the bloke next to him was like someone in an insurance advert.
The rest of them, not a clue. Celebrities only in council house dwellers' eyes I guess.
