Same here Road. In private I refer to myself as the 'Fat old Fuck'. LOL
Not morbidly obese, thank goodness, but at 100 Kilos and being only 5'8" which I believe is about as close as you can get with 171 cm, it is rather visible. On the upside, I am rather stockily built anyway, my wife refers to my legs as 'footballers legs' and funnily enough, there is actually very little fat on them but my belly, that's a different story alltogether.
It's all down to the munchies I get after having a few spliffs. Beer or any other alcohol doesn't play much of a role anymore, not after a mini stroke I had some five years ago which left me with two major ailments. I get a migraine under certain air pressure situations and I can't really drink anymore. Half a pint of beer and I am absolutely paralytic and get really ratty and nasty. So, out the window the beer went. I really miss going to the local beer festivals though, I've always love proper English Real Ales. These days, the best I can do is pay my dues to CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale here in Britain, I've been a member there for the last 30 years now.
Well, shit happens.
