    'Non jobs' gravy train rolls on for councils [^] "active women officers" whose job is to get local women involved in netball, athletics, cycling, badminton, rounders, tennis, table tennis or swimming. A spokesman justified these posts saying they could help to reduce costs to the taxpayer by increasing fitness levels" "The figures also reveal a boom in such jobs as "walking coordinators", "obesity strategy officers", and "active" workers, whose job is to encourage the public to pursue more healthy lifestyles." Mind you, at least Cameron has scrapped the fine for not closing your bin lid... This is the side of Britain that is probably rarely seen by foreigners, the small mindedness and utter foolishness of local government.

        But then you would need hundreds of 'mobile food motivators' or somesuch to pilot the cars. Personally, we should allow people to get fat and unhealthy. Clearly they arent adapted to modern life, and thus their genes should go extinct. Its only Darwinism after all. :)

            Well it doesn't end up that way either. Pharmaceutical companies will come up with drugs that cure all sorts of lethargy induced diseases, hospitals would bend over backwards to treat all these folks and in the end, it'll all be a waste of money anyway.

              I've found that the easiest way to lose weight is to come down with severe prostitis and let it go undiagnosed for 8 months or so. I dropped 2 inches from my waist. :laugh:

                I ofthen thought bottling bacteria infected water would be a good way of loosing weight. Either that or genetically mod that bacteria, necratising facaetis or some such, that eats flesh, to go for fat only and inject away!
