Your weight?

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

lightest person so far peeps!!

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Filthy, you are either A) lying about your weight or B) a woman or C) an under-nourished scrawny bloke who looks like a refugee!!

9 stone?!! Last time I was 9 stone I was about 11 years of age

my scales must be broke......













not by me i'm hassient to add!!

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

Fair enough!

By the way, your spelling is terrible

 

[Heath Park Ranger]

I'm 11 and a half stone so where do I vote? I assume it's in the 9-11 stone category even though I'm not?

Oh, and I'm about 5'8".

 

[BrightonBird]

What a lovely thread. I weigh 6 stone - or I could be lying!

 

[Yorkie]

I've seen filthy and he is a bit skinny (no offence)

Eat bananas. When footballers want to build up bulk and also for energy they eat lots of bananas.

That was told to me by a professional footballer.

 

[Bwian]

just under 13 stone and around 6"

 

[REDLAND]

6'2 and 14 stone, spot on so the ladies tell me

Better hurry up then...

DEFENCELESS BANANA WILL BE EXTINCT IN 10 YEARS

By Robert Uhlig, Farming Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph
Published: January 16, 2003

Buy your bananas now. Scientists warn today that the world's favorite fruit could be extinct within 10 years because it is unable to fight off a rampaging plague of pests and disease.

Emile Frison, head of a worldwide network of banana researchers, warned that the world's favorite fruit was at crisis point, with yields in decline in much of Africa, Asia and central America.

He and other scientists warned that the regions most dependent on the banana, relying on the fruit for up to half their daily calories, are facing the tropical equivalent of the Irish potato famine.

The doomed banana's Achilles heel is that it is a genetically decrepit sterile mutant. One of the oldest crops, the first edible variety was propagated around 10,000 years ago from a rare mutant of the wild banana, which, with a mass of hard seeds, is virtually inedible.

But because all edible bananas are sterile - effectively clones of that first plant - they are unable to evolve to fight off new diseases.

Black sigatoka, a fungal disease that cuts yields by up to three quarters and reduces the productive lives of banana plants from 30 to only two or three years, has become a global epidemic.

The fungus reduced yields by 40 per cent in a year in Uganda, the world's second largest producer, and is spreading through the Brazilian Amazon and the Far East.

Mr Frison, director of the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, said black sigatoka was no longer being kept in check. "As soon as you bring in a new fungicide, it develops resistance," he said.

Luadir Gasparotto, Brazil's leading banana pathologist, said production in Brazil, the world's fourth largest producer, was likely to fall by 70 per cent because of sigatoka. "Most of the banana fields in Amazonia have already been destroyed," he said.

To make matters worse, Panama disease, a fungus that wiped out a popular variety in the 1950s, has also returned.

Genetic engineering may be the only answer, New Scientist reports today.
Last year, scientists led by Mr Frison announced plans to sequence the genetic blueprint of the banana within five years, focusing on inedible wild bananas, many of which are resistant to black sigatoka.

But large producers have refused to back the research because of costs and fears that consumers will not accept a GM banana.

Half a billion people in Africa and Asia depend on the banana for up to half their daily calories. The starchy varieties rather than the sweet fruit is used in everything from cooking to banana gin.

Britain imports more than seven billion bananas a year, making it the nation's favorite fruit. More than 140 million are eaten every week.

bananas are good for energy but they are full of carbs.

6" 1' and 14st 3. Was about 5 lb heavier until a nasty virus last week.

 

[BrightonBird]

I find the best way to lose weight is being in lurve.

 

[tedebear]

I object to being in with the 11 stoners ....

actually whats the difference between a stone and stome? if you're 12 - 14??

Exactly, which was why I recommended them to filthy for building up weight.

 

[Emily's Mum]

I'm your typical average British woman, 5' 4" & 12st 5lbs, although it is coming off slowly
