My first aircrew medical at Biggin Hill, (circa 1970)
My first was for the RAF FlySchol at BH - imagine the shock when the doc who grabbed my b@llocks and asked me to cough was of the double-breasted, child-bearing type

Just did the Dobermann's BMI on NHS Direct website:

"Your BMI is 39.84 - If your BMI is between 30 and 39.9 you're obese. This means you're well over the ideal weight for your height. This could cause serious health problems and affect your life expectancy. Are you eating more than the recommended amount of calories per day? Are you getting enough exercise? Once you gain the confidence to start exercising regularly you'll notice a huge difference. See your GP for advice if you've tried to lose weight without success."

Yeah, right
