    I am Jabba the Hut

    Been trying to sort out private health care.

    Nothing seriously wrong with me apart from being a bit big-boned.

    WPA sounded good. Trouble is having BMI over 35 means you're excluded from a whole hosts of things inc heart disease, loads of cancers etc.

    My fault for being such a lard-arse but they don't offer the option to pay a bit more of a premium for this. No kebab for me tonight I guess. Looks like I either have to lose weight or stretch myself a bit taller.

    Any chubbers on this forum recommend private health insurance?

    Spend the money on gym membership or liposuction instead.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            and for the same reason I bet you'd be secretly shunted into the low-priority "might get round to him sometime" queue if you ever had the misfortune to have to rely on our wonderful NHS.

            It's a scandal that big boned people like you and I have to pay the same National Insurance etc as everyone else, considering the substandard service we'd be given!

              Given how much more looking after your portly frame costs I'd count yourself lucky to be paying the same. I'm subsidising your pie habit I am.

                    No now! Or you'll be saying 'last one' for ever.

                    Kebab-ogolic!
