Britain's fattest man tops metric tonne
« on: July 07, 2008, 10:48:31 pm »
Arthur Appleby of Surton Magna in Wiltshire tipped the scales at 1001kg today making him Britain's fattest man.  Speaking in the Swindon Gazette,  he put his achievement down to a fry up twice a day.  'Most mornings I have six fried eggs, seven rashers of bacon and nine sausages', he said. Normally around 10am I'll have elevenses, which consists of a king size Mars bar and a Frappucino.
Then it's another fry up at 1pm and if i've got room I'll order a Chinese takeaway or a pizza around 7pm.  Asked if he had any more records up his sleeve, Arthur said he was still coming to terms with the present record but would leave his options open.

It's pretty disgusting when you think people in some parts of the world are starving. And how does he have time for all that cooking and eating? Doesn't sound like he's got a job. Probably claims that his size makes it hard for him to walk far.
Old but spicey!

He doesn't because this is clearly a Bounty wind-up!

Yeah, like I'm going to go to the trouble of sitting down and making it all up.

You went to the trouble of pretending to be a lesbian called Danielle for two months.

1001kg is 157 stone 6 pounds - wasn't the world's fattest man 'only' 75 stone? And the fact that there's no such place as Surton Magna doesn't exactly give the story credence.

I've since written a story about a girl called Danielle.
