But now I only travel to work 2 days a week I don't need to pad it out with H&V reading. Barely glanced at it in the last year to be honest. VT is superior in every way. On this subject, I often wonder if any other football club has a forum like VT? I don’t spend much time looking at boards for other clubs, but the ones I have seen always seem a bit of a mess 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively racist, EDL seemed fairly liberal in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 The only other forum I read from time to time is Sunderland's, the amount of anger on it is astonishing. Posters just calling each other words removed constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I've tried to read the Norwich forum pinkun to see what they think of Smith, it's like bandit country, a bit like SHA where there's no structure to it, several Smith threads running simultaneously VT is clean as a whistle in comparison 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 VT is by far the best moderated online forum I have ever read. But don’t tell the mods I said that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) One for our medical experts..... I wonder how someone can still be obese despite having 75% of their stomach removed ? Surely smaller stomach means less capacity to store food and lead to a smaller appetite ? I'm probably missing something obvious here but....someone I knew ripped off their other half over £12k to have the op done & then 12 months later dumped him, leaving him to pay the rest off. She is a total word removed and I am glad she is still an effing whale but it baffles me as to how weight gain is still possible Edited November 22, 2021 by mottaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely anecdotally but I've known a few who've done the gastric bypass and they all had a lot more going on than just how much they could put in their face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posters just calling each other words removed constantly. I used to be on a (non football) forum where they had a sub forum called “the flame pit” Basically whenever things got nasty the mods would step in (as they do here) but rather than stopping it in its tracks, they would move the posts to the flame pit. Here the arguing posters could carry on arguing to their heart’s content, but it had to stay in the flame pit. It was very entertaining (I’m not suggesting we do that here. It got very nasty. But it was funny) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a total word removed and I am glad she is still an effing whale but it baffles me as to how weight gain is still possible I saw a documentary about people who had had this done. One woman had a gastric band (not quite the same but same principle) and she had discovered she could “fool” it by having high calorie drinks which would give her lots of calories but wouldn’t fill her up. At no point did she mention WHY she would want to do that. But she had successfully remained fat. It was baffling 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 This is definately in the right thread.Why would a fat person pay to get that done only to stay fat ????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well quite. That’s why it was baffling. She seemed to have an addiction to the actual calories. Which makes no sense seeing as calories themselves have no taste or benefit. I couldn’t figure it out. i think calories and nutrition are the thing that the general population are least educated about compared to how much we encounter them in our lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 If I wanted to get fat I would rather have chocolate than calories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
