Thank God. That would equate to tall people being more intelligent than short. I don't mind being short but it certainly bears no correlation to my intelligence.

Oh !

I love it when people say they're middle aged in their 50s or even 60s. Really? You really going to be living at 100/120 years old?

I say I'm post- middle aged. Not 'old' yet but beyond middle aged.

Well I can't take that as personal sarcasm cos I criticised your perception of "leagues". What these others are? Pass. What's the typo meant to state anyway?

I've noticed leaflets at my surgery and pharmacy mention the waist issue. So it's possibly an NHS drive.

When we see our waists are thicker than they should be, we can feel good due to endorphins released during the ensuing exercise and sexercise

I can't possibly behaving a mid life crisis, I don't feel the slightest urge to buy a Harley or a convertible!

But I reckon growing an extra six inches won't do me any harm!

Speaking as the man im a bit miffed witha belly Ive suddenly "acquired".

OK having to give up football didnt help but up until 40th birthday I could go extra careful and it would disappear.

Sadly now Im 45 it doesnt shift

I dont eat a lot of fatty foods, im no boozer and rarely drink beer or lager.

I gave up smoking two months back but im not picking at food to compensate and to add to this I deliver tyres for a living.Plenty of bending down and lugging tyres around.

I kind of get away with it being 6'2" and Im not a "fat bloke" but if i relax its there to see.

Whoever said "life begins at Forty" deserves a kick in the bollocks

And don't forget people, your waist size isn't the size of the waistband on your jeans, that is more likely to be your hip size, pull the tape measure a little higher so its measuring around your stomach

Maybe we misheard and it was "lard begins at 40"

Mine was early.

I'm muddle-aged.

Fat is a complex issue. You can be fat on the outside and thin inside. You can be fat inside and thin outside. You can be fat and fit. You can be fat and unfit.

Inside fat is a killer. Fat held around your middle is often an indicator for Type 2 diabetes and that you may have fat around your organs. Reducing belly fat is thought to reduce the risk of having killer fat.

It's not a BBC thing but has been a NHS campaign for the last four years or so.
