Bloody hell i was taking the pish hence the winking eye.

The summary is completely correct. And as for the fat/thin thing. Due to the fact that i am a chunky chap i did have some concerns about the weight thing. Aparently they will only fail you if you are over 35 BMI which is huge so there shouldn't be a problem there. And the thin thing is only a concern if your anorexic because this shows you are mentally unstable.

But saying that when they did the fat test on my blood i was 1.95. And the ultra skinny bloke was 5.2 and had to go to his doctor when he got home. Much prefer it round my gut than coating the inside of my veins.
