   Thanks for the info about the movie. I liked it too. A few laugh out loud moments. Also had a look at a couple of other movies with the same actress, but they were not as good.

   Also, I know your feelings towards overweight people on planes. Here’s the rebuttle:

   Not that I’m saying I agree with the rebuttle… But I thought you’d like some of the quotes from “Terry” :-)

   “obesity is a functional disability”

   Ha ha, LOL. I don’t think stuffing ones face is a functional disability.

   “The second thing we find is that quite often normal-weight passengers will quite overtly say they don’t want to sit next to a fat person on the plane, that they’re physically uncomfortable because of it, that they don’t want to and that the person should be moved.”

   Yes! Look, I’ve paid for my seat and I don’t want my space and the entire arm rest to be taken up with flab.

   Wherever possible I try to avoid flying with an American or European or Australian airline. The change of being next to someone “big” (not necessarily obese but big enough to encroach into arm rest and perhaps more) is much higher than with Asian airlines.

   “What do we do if we’re publicly and openly humiliating fat people on a plane, do we do the same to thin people? Do we say, excuse me Mr Smith in seat 10C, you’ve been judged to have been half the size of all your fellow passengers, so we’re going to give you a 50 per cent discount?”

   Hell yeah! I’d be into some of that!

   “I will vote with my feet or with my bottom if airline chooses to make it compulsory to buy two seats because I’m overweight. I’ll go to those airlines that don’t,” he said.

   And I’ll go with an airline that does, because I can be comfortable.

   Thanks for this. Loved it. It completely made my day.
