25 things fat people shouldn't do #18

"25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do is an unabashed middle finger to the preposterous idea that any human who weighs more than the status quo does not deserve to live a full and well rounded (ahem) life. The list of 25 is composed word for word from direct lists of sheer assholery found on the internet. These range from the absurd to the profoundly shameful, and I will be disproving this offensive notion with style. May the Chub Club live long and prosper!"-The Militant Baker

Go to bars

Ok, so I don't actually drink. As a result of this, I don't often go to bars or nightclubs. However, I am partial to a pub lunch. I prefer to go in the middle of the day, when they're quiet and you can actually sit down and have a conversation, rather than squeezed in a corner on a Saturday night.

In fact, I wrote my entire dissertation in this very pub. Towards the end, I was spending 7 hours a day, 5 days a week in the pub typing on my little netbook. It was a really lovely, quiet place with soothing music playing so it was the perfect environment for knuckling down to work. The bar staff got to know me and my routine pretty well- large Diet Pepsi (no lemon and no ice) and, at 3pm, a bowl of chips. Perfection!
