Have you sorted her out yet ?

Who hasn't played the game in the departure lounge of looking around and picking out the fatties you hope aren't sat either behind you, in front of you or God forbid next to you

Slighty off at a tangent, but the common word is tax.......absolutely in favour of this, make the fat bastards stump up This week an academic in Norway proposed a “pay as you weigh” scheme that would see airlines charging overweight fliers more to help recoup the cost of the extra fuel required to carry them. In the Journal of Revenue and Pricing Management, Bharat P Bhatta suggested three methods: a straightforward price per kilogram; a fixed low fare, with heavier passengers paying a surcharge and lighter passengers being offered a discount; or the introduction of three bands – heavy, normal and light, with passengers charged accordingly. His suggestions received the backing of 48 per cent of those questioned in a poll by the website Holiday Extras. The plans received slightly more support among men, with 51 per cent in favour, compared to 43 per cent of women. “Sitting next to a large person on a plane can sometimes reduce the space that you have to relax,” said James Lewis of Holiday Extras. “If we have to pay extra for excess baggage, maybe we should pay extra for excess body weight.” The problem of passenger obesity has become an increasingly pertinent issue for airlines in recent years. Adult obesity rates in the UK have almost quadrupled in the last quarter of a century, with around 22 per cent of Britons now considered obese. That compares to around 14 per cent of the European Union’s adult population, and more than 32 per cent of Americans. “I think the simplest way to implement this would be for passengers to declare their weight when buying a plane ticket,” Dr Bhatta of Fjordane University College told The Daily Telegraph. “This would save time and eliminate expense. At the airport airlines could randomly select passengers and if they lied about their weight they would have to pay the fat fare and a penalty.” Ian Yeoman, the editor of the Journal, endorsed Dr Bhatta’s proposal. "For airlines, every extra kilogram means more expensive jet fuel must be burned, which leads to CO2 emissions and financial cost," he said. "As the airline industry is fraught with financial difficulties, marginally profitable and has seen exponential growth in the last decade, maybe they should be looking to introduce scales at the check-in."

Royally fucked Really don't know why I bother watching this shit

Belguim have just taken the lead in their game thereby ensuring we are officially out as things stand

I rest my case unfortunately.....just put the ball in Row FUCKING Z

Not really unexpected though

Charlie Adam - £10m Mental

Yes and whilst a number of their supporters were out and out cunts over JC, still wouldn't wish this on them

Pretty fair analysis

Gary Caldwell 55 caps One word How

In a word "fucked" Der Hun was one thing, this is totally another and not good news for Scottish football in general

Probably had a right few of these

Ah Al in 69 scandal Vaguely remember the days

Guess you wouldn't need to worry about when your next attack is coming P.S for the avoidance of any doubt, my original comment was firmly tongue in cheek.

Ah fuck, if only we'd waited

Deal is done if you believe what is printed in the P&J. Await meltdown on the Hat Derek McInnes will today be appointed Aberdeen manager on a two-year contract but is not expected to be in charge of the team for Saturday’s SPL home game against Hearts. The 41-year-old former St Johnstone manager has been out of work since his sacking by English Championship club Bristol City in January. He met Aberdeen directors, including current manager Craig Brown, last week and yesterday agreed terms to take charge at Pittodrie along with his long-time assistant Tony Docherty. For the full story, pick up a copy of today’s Press and Journal or read our digital edition now

Did he get a round in though

Tony Docherty

Ok, at first glance not the most inspired appointment, but if it is McInnes, then welcome aboard. If you turn out to be half as succesful as a.n.other ex Glasgow Rangers (deceased) player that managed us, then you'll do for me. Some of the comments I've read elsewhere just defy belief, frankly you couldn't make it up. On The Hat there has been certain members campaigning to get shot of Broon virtually all season. They have their wish granted and now disapprove of his replacement. Really should be careful what you wished for lads

Yep, wish to see what type of stock your missus comes from

Probably best place to post this. Nadal appears back to fitness and form and destroyed Federer earlier today
