Hey Charver! What the hell tartan is that, anyway? I thought I recognized it but I was wrong.

It's the Burberry house check.

It's all linked to the the 'charver/chav' thing. Burberry being the uniform of the charver.
 
To big to fit into an xray machine? Maybe they have different machines in the UK but every xray machine I have seen you don't have to fit into.

Toby, you must be incredibly slow or have comprehension problems.

It is saying thatthe current designs of xray machines, cat scans etc are too small for the ever more obese public.

It is true that some radiographical machines aren't restricted by size, such as those used to xray teeth etc but of those machines that are restricted, the ever more obese size of the public is causing a problem...

Oh. Well, I had to ask. I've learned something today, even if I'm Brittneyed as to what it really means.

Should I consign my Burberry raincoat to the Salvation Army or can I still wear it in public?
 
You are not paying attention Any. Note the study... over 14 year period and over 5 million scans there were 7000 that noted some point about fat. Those numbers don't justify this story.

Then it is the study you are arguing against, not the BBC.

They didn't conduct the study, they are reporting on another body's study as they do with a great many studies...

Nice cop out. The BBC article is titled "Americans 'too fat for x-rays'"
I have to agree with Toby. This is just the lame ass BBC doing a little america bashing. Brits are getting just as fat. And you people can't take the heat either. Pussies. OMG it got to 90 degrees!!! We're all going to die!!!
 
If you could read beyond the headline you would note...

"Increasing numbers of Americans are becoming too fat to fit into X-ray machines, US researchers report. "

This states that the concern in the increase in numbers, reiterated by this...

"Over the past 15 years, the number of failed scans linked to patient obesity has doubled, Radiology journal reports"

It also states that the problem is coming over here too..

"The obesity rates in the US have been going up relentlessly. Sadly, in the UK we are following in their wake."

Is a little comprehension too much to ask?

If the BBC wanted to bash America it wouldn't bother with this but with the US government's unswerving support for Israeli terrorism.

As for the heatwave, we all loved it. From what I hear it is Californians that are dropping dead in numbers due to the heat. They must be pussies then?
 
Americans 'too fat for x-rays'

Some scans are unable to penetrate the excess fat
Increasing numbers of Americans are becoming too fat to fit into X-ray machines, US researchers report.
The nation's rising obesity problems mean many citizens are not only too large for scanners but they have too much fat for the rays to penetrate

What a bunch of crap. They indicate that CT scans, ultrasound and x rays are all alike. Try again!

To big to fit into an xray machine? Maybe they have different machines in the UK but every xray machine I have seen you don't have to fit into.

You would have to be at least 1500 pounds to not be able to fit into a CT Scanner.

maybe people are to fat, but don't make something out of nothing.


The BBC likes to pander to the British hate America crowd
