Dimmock !!

[murraymints]

watched garden rescue BBC1 ..what has hapened to Charlie Dimmock ? she has morphed into a gargantuan size and now waddles instead of walks...would expect all that outdoors work to keep her trim...but she must spend all her time scoffing from the BBQ..really shocked..anyone seen it ?

[ummmm]

This thread isn't about FGM...it's mocking someone who has put on weight...or as the OP likes to put it "morphed into a gargantuan size"

Naomi doesn't find that offensive so she seems to assume that no one else should either.

It's not a secret that Islay has had a gastric sleeve fitted so how insulting is it that someone might think she's over weight because "she must spend all her time scoffing from the BBQ"?

Thank you Ummmm and if Naomi and Murray think it is OK to describe Charlie Dimmock as gargantuan then I hate to think what I am then!

[Sqad]

^^^^^Supergargantuan? Mega-gargantuan? Fat ? morbidly obese?
You choice,

[Togo]

Lol@ Panky . :)) And Squad. :))

I think we should leave Charlie alone. I keep being told by certain ABers, that I am nasty towards women....I deny that of course, but in this case, Charlie is still OK in my book !

[naomi24]

ummmm, I detest ‘preciousness’ and I fail to see why people on here should take offence on behalf of someone else, especially someone they don't know. We’ll end up not being able to talk about anything lest someone has unhappy experience of whatever it is and takes umbrage to it. I don’t live a charmed life and sometimes things said on here kindle unhappy thoughts that upset me, but I don’t wade in telling people they’ve got to shut up. Where does it all end?

Ummmm I was not changing the subject of the thread, merely pointing out, as I think you know, that Islay is wrong when she says Naomi has complete disregard for the feelings of other human beings, and I gave an example of her concern for others.

[anneasquith]

I'm never shocked by Naomi's posts .

[naomi24]

Ladybirder, I take Islay's criticism of me with a huge pinch of salt - similarly poor little anneasquith's, who's to be regularly found bringing up the rear.... so the speak. ;o)

[naomi24]

Oops ... so *to* speak. ;o)

[anneasquith]

So to speak ?

[naomi24]

Try to think about it...

[ladybirder]

Good, glad to hear it. Way to go.

[naomi24]

Haha! Way to go indeed. I'm going to cook dinner now. :o)

[ummmm]

Many many over weight people have spent a long long time being judged. I don't think not liking the way the OP is worded is being precious.

//Many many over weight people have spent a long long time being judged//
Too long perhaps, and woe betide you if you tell em, "oy you are carrying some timber". Best get some off if you know what's good for you. Bet Charlie Dimmock wouldn't have made as much fuss. Still it gives the hand wringers a chance to exercise their sensitivity muscles if non of the others. Meehh.

[pastafreak]

The thing i take issue with is generalisations...Like this : murraymints..."the facts speak for themselves she is of a gargantuan size..and **generally speaking that equates to putting more than is necessary down one's gullet !!** and your closing comment is unkind"
How does anyone know that about any overweight individual? There are many other factors that can contribute to weight, and to paint all with the same brush is very unkind and based on assumptions.

How old is she and how long ago was it that she was on Ground Force? (never watched it) People get older and they change. That is the way it is.

[ummmm]

Togo - would you really say that to someone?

[ummmm]

237 - she's 47 and Ground Force was on about 20 years ago.
