Hi,

fair point about Bugner, but during his career when younger he would have been closer to 100 kg, rather than the 120 or more you mention. The cruiser/heavy weight guys who are 5ft 10in or smaller will be more likely to be considered overweight/obese.

The GCAA introduced an additional Opthamology exam not so long ago, thats now gone i believe. Lets wait and see where this BMI rule goes over the next year or so.

For the time being i will endeavour to loose some weight and refrain from calling sick !!.

San Mig light is a nice beer by the way.

Rgds.
