See ya around, I'll miss your regular presence on the site even if you're not completely disappearing. All the best with your life and family.

Enjoy your time away from the DDP OoO. I personally think you're making a correct decision. You just have to blink and the next thing you know your kids are all grown up. I still can't believe my son is almost 30. Tempus fugit. Erm............. edited to say our member Tempus Fugit is not my son

You could return in ten years and no doubt the DDP will still be around... Still sad to see a legend retire. That will mean only myself of the people to have run the DDP to still compete from next year.

Sad when good posters leave. Will you think about coming back when the little shits have grown up and you're old enough to start considering your own obit chances?

One of Britain's most obese men, Liam Johnston, aged only 22 and weighing 66 stone, has died of a heart attack. He was convicted last year of fraud, after using someone else's credit card to pay for pizzas to be delivered to him.

50kg now, down from 75. That's another 5kg in 11 days. With a height of 1.74m, this calculates to be a body mass index of 16.5. From wiki: For these individuals, the current value settings are as follows: a BMI of 18.5 to 25 may indicate optimal weight; a BMI lower than 18.5 suggests the person is underweight while a number above 25 may indicate the person is overweight; a BMI below 17.5 may indicate the person has anorexia nervosa or a related disorder; a number above 30 suggests the person is obese (over 40, morbidly obese). A BMI nearing 15 is usually used as an indicator for starvation and the health risks involved, with a BMI <17.5 being an informal criterion for the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Farah Fawset Majors died on the 25th June 2009 - we were getting a BMI of 13.67 on 21st April 2009. Losing 2lbs a month I would put her final weight at 82lbs, and a BMI of 13.0 by all accounts Tammy Faye Baker died with a BMI of 12.12 Ariel Sharon lost 145lbs in 48 months - that's 3lbs a month. Schumacher's weight loss so far would be 57.5 lbs in just less than three months - that's about 20lbs a month. If he carries on loosing weight at this rate for much longer it won't be the brain damage that finally kills him but the weight loss leading to organ failure. If he gets down to a BMI of about 13.2 then I think his survival chances would be about zero percent over the following year. 10kg away from that mark, and at this alarming rate maybe dead within the month. P.S. I've been looking at low BMI deaths Karen Carpenter = 13.4 Ana Carolina Reston = 13.4 Luisel Ramos = 14.5 Elle Ramos = 16.0 However Kate Moss has survived a reported BMI of 14.0, said that she normally has a BMI of about 17.3 And Stephanie Naumoska won a Miss Australia title with a BMI of about 15.1

You mean..... the one we live in now?

However this might be a solution to interstellar travel. Assuming the Timelords don't send Brian Blessed to wipe us out to prevent the spread of this technology.

I don't think it's practical, or indeed desirable. Really, can you imagine being stuck with the people you can't stand for all eternity?!?! To put that in perspective, envision a world where annoying guest posters never die!!!
