          lol I love this. Especially about the rest of the world having to remove X number of tonnes to have the same BMI as me. It's a lot!

          All this proves is, that I'm far too short.
          I always wanted to be taller.

              27.
              But I've no "tummy" ??? Must have heavy bones, I suppose. I'm certainly not fat or chubby or even slightly chubby.

              Anyway, I never worry about weight or things like that. I'm going to live forever and so far, so good!

                I apparently have a BMI somewhere around 28. I am therefore most like someone in Qatar. Its funny that, I always wondered why I have almost black hair and very dark eyes, especially when the beard is mostly ginger, but there you go.

                Apparently my BMI means I'm 'overweight'.

                This is exactly why a lot of the experts hate the BMI system of measurement. Muscle is heavier than lard by volume, so a very muscular person could be very thin but heavier than a fatty. There was a case in the news not long ago about a very active kid who took part in all the sports and was built like a tank because he played rugby and worked out. He was told in a school medical that he was obese, yet he didn't have an ounce of lard on him.
