Like the fact that when I get stressed I pull my eyebrows out and as a result have a whacking great hole where my left eyebrow should be. Like the fact that I find it hard to hear people in a noisy environment and so tend to have to ask people to repeat things. Any form of physical impairment is good for a cheap laugh.

And to be honest that's what all this is about. A cheap laugh at other people's expense. Is it really necessary - or even informative - to post up drivel about a woman who's overweight?
