That's 25,000 more than me. I expected to see a huge blob of a man but he looks reasonably OK.

Sad that he's calling them "big macs" which surely is a Macdonalds trade name? Beef burgers or "hamburgers" would be more correct. ( Is there ham in a hamburger?)

As Martin opened with the comment- not much news today. How sad that we have to read about such a pathetic soul. There must be more going on in the world than this....... sandy

Well, this might make you laugh if it wasn't so pathetic: last Friday, whilst I was on board a flight waiting to depart from Corfu, an announcement from the flight stewardess informed us all that because ONE passenger had a peanut allergy, there would be no sales of peanuts when they came round with the trolley! I didn't want any peanuts myself (so, how fortunate for me), but what did they suppose was going to happen, that we'd prise open the cellophane packets and force-feed the poor allergic soul?

Health and Safety gone mad Dorothy. They're probably afraid the person would sue. The world's gone mad thank to the American blame culture that's spread over here.

You're absolutely right, Noel, and it should be clamped down on as soon as possible, along with Human Rights laws and all the other claptrap which is ruining this country!

Not really that pathetic. Peanut allergies can be severe. Even peanut dust can set off anaphylactic shock. A girl died last year of just that thing after kissing her boyfreind who had eaten peanuts hours before. Airlines have, since the ban on smoking on planes, resorted to recycling the air instead of bringing in fresh from the outside. So when you fly, instead of breathing a steady flow of air (more expensive) you are now breathing in in what was there when you boarded. Everything goes around, colds, farts, peanut dust. The oxygen level reduces during flight, but not enough so everyone aspyxiates, but enough to show an increased occurence of DVT.
Don't blame the non sale of peanuts on 'elf and safety gone mad' but on the airlines pennypinching on your air, when a virus can be shared amongst many. Never mind swine flu wait until AIDS goes airbourne.

Incredible isn't it? I am allergic to peanuts but not to that level. A few years ago an up and coming athlete died as a result of eating a curry that contained a trace of nuts.
