They could have said that.

Despite it clearly being called a "road" bike you expect it to be usable on all paths?

I mean I'd be with you if by path you mean pavement or bikepath but there are an awful lot of paths that don't meet that criteria. If you want to be able to do all paths, buy a gravel bike at the very least.

I don't why you're getting downvoted. I know we live in an age of body acceptance but that doesn't mean that being fat has become attractive.

It is attractive to a small minority of people, but most people are attracted to healthy bodies.

I think there are a lot of people out their in denial about their bodies and whilst comments like yours can sound mean, that doesn't mean that you're not right.

Over 100,000 civilians died in Iraq and Afghanistan during "the war on terror".

That's worth it because of 9/11 tho /s

It's an archaic saying but that doesn't mean that the meaning has been lost.

Almost the entire industrial revolution was coal powered and the most common fuel for heating homes was coal. Coal used to be an extremely popular and useful commodity.

Edit: I now see that you thought the town of Newcastle was the fast food chain White Castle lol. I did wonder why you were going on about grills!

I'm also interested. My work provides moulded ear plugs, but they definitely don't let the same range of frequencies through.

A lot of people make fun of me for having an ebike "it's not proper cycling etc", but they all want to ignore the fact that without it, I would be driving (as they are).

It's not bad to be fat

It objectively is and it's a terrible comparison to being short.

Being fat is terrible for your health and will limit your chances in love. It's not politically correct to admit it, but most people simply aren't attracted to people that are overweight, and whilst appearances shouldn't matter, they absolutely do.

The difference between being short and being fat is that you can't control your height. Controlling your weight might not be fun, but you can essentially choose what weight you are.

Bullying is obviously never ok, but if you're not ok with the idea of being called fat, then you can choose not to consistently over eat for long periods of time.

Inb4: I understand some people have severe health and mental issues that are the primary source of their obesity and I empathise hugely with these people, but most overweight people simply lack will power. Losing weight is like giving up smoking, you can want to do it, but you don't until you say "enough is enough" and actually mean it.

Who seriously heard this song and thought, "this sounds amazing, I need to buy the album!"?

It was catchy as a gimmick song but I'm absolutely unsurprised that we didn't hear anything further from 'The Ting Tings'.
