I’ve been thinking of this topic for a while… but not quite as much mind bending detail as you’ve got, more stuff like where you live, what you do for a crust. Then the golfing stuff: best score for 9 holes, best score for 18 holes. Highest / lowest / current handicaps. Best golfing memory.

We don’t want people to have to write an essay…!

Pay someone out about their weight on a forum. You are such a tougie publish. Guess you are perfect hey.

Thanks for your advice Publish, but I have dropped down from 135kg in 2months so I think I am doing pretty well, there is no way in hell I am going to get that weight back and I am still going strong. I have made my life change and for the better. My goal weight for this year is 95Kg and I am ahead of that goal according to my trainer.
