UK Fat Chicks - Where in UK?

Where is everyone from? - i'm from Berkshire area.

Hammersmtih, London - ...very exotic!

Sorry I always type it wrong. Meant to be Hammersmith. Surprised I typed London right. It usuallycomes out as Lodnon!

I work in London actually. SO how long have you been a member?

A year or so I think. I was just plain peacock before but had to reapply when I couldn't get in one day.

I used to just nose through the recipes and then by accident found the UK chicks forum. I have been hooked ever since!

What are useful sites are there?
Do you suffer from PCOS? (sorry if I'm being too nosy)

I'm in Edinburgh, born n bred!

Me? PCOS...No I don't think so...

I meant that I started nosing on the other posts on this site before I discovered there was a UK chicks one.

The only things I suffer from are high blood pressure, excess weight (about 4 stone) and creaky joints. I had a form of juvenile rhematoid arthritis as a little un and although the doctor reckons from a blood smaple that it is clear now, I guess then that my joints have been damaged because sometimes they are quite painful. Not as much as my mum and my aunt's though.

I am in Manchester. This is my first post :)

Hello, thought I'd join in! I am Teel, live in Suffolk, East Anglia!!Where the land is flat, flat and even more flat!!

Plopster, whereabouts in Norfolk are you from? I spent 8 years living 5 miles north of Gt. Yarmouth....:spin:

Hi Teel,
I lived mainly in South Norfolk - near Diss. But also in Norwich and King's Lynn among other places. That's just Norfolk. I loved to move around as a teenager. I miss East Anglia countryside. I have an East Anglia T towel that I pine over!

At least Mum and Dad are coming over soon so I can hear a Norfolk accent again.

love

Blimey Tulip! That certainly sounds like hard work. I bet you go home with a headache most days! Any treats you indulge in are well deserved!

Ooooh Diss!!Not a million miles away from me, now living in Thurston, the main road to Diss and through to Gt.Yarmouth is about a mile down the road!!:wave: what a small earth we live in really. I spent the first 10 years of life in Bournemouth on the sunny south coast...anyone from near there???:cool:

Hello! I am from London, North London actually. I just moved to the UK a year and a half ago.

From where, Sweetgirl? Where are you from originally? (beeing very nosey keeps my mind off food ...almost).

I am originally from the states....Wisconsin to be exact. It's in the midwest.

* Don't worry about being nosey...you are the first to reply to me...so I appreciate it!

Hi Sweetgirluk, We're all dead nosy here, just peacock beat us to it and put it in writing.

Hi Sweetgirluk, isn't Wisconsin the land of the cheese heads? Please correct me if I'm wrong though....I'm in NJ, but originally from England....

Hello to sweetgirluk.I am Teel and I am just as nosy as all the rest:mad: But they have beaten me to posting 'cos my parents have been staying for a few days and I haven't had much opportunity to get on site...but now they have gone and I am trying to catch up with the posts!!
I have a freind who moved from Pinner to Hatch End....not too far I know...is this anywhere near you??

;) :D

Yes, I am a cheesehead....born and bread!

I am living in a small town called Hampstead...I've heard of Hatch End, but not sure how close it is to me. Love living here...my next door neighbor is Boy George...it's funny seeing out of his makeup early in the morning!~!!:D

Boy George - swoon !!!! Can I come visit ?

MY brother used to live in Hampstead many moons ago, all back up north now.

Boy George eh? Now that's a fancy neighbour to have...anyone else live next door or nearby anyone famous, or have done in their past? Not me I'm afraid....right boring I am.

Mmmmmn I have never lived near anyone famous, but saw Dame Judy Dench in Southwold a couple of years ago when she was filming for that film on Alzheimers....will a name drop do???:lol: :lol: :devil: :cool:

Or to really show-off.....I have been on the radio three times and on the television once....:smug: :smug: :smug: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oops I think I'd better go now before fame goes to my head....:smug:

Ooooooooooooooo, claim to fame, Who is the guy from the rolling stones who married a right young chicky? Bill Wyman could it be? I was in Bury St. Edmunds when they got married at the registry office....not that I knew at the time of course. And....Prince Phillip got bumped up the bum in Brandon at the traffic lights, and although I lived in Feltwell at the time, it was still big news. And...hehehehe....both my kids have been on the telly, one for a game show for kids, J did a karate sesion and another time him and Hannah were interviewed out in AZ while at a theme park and got to say what their favourite rides were. Oh yes, lets not forget, a few weeks ago I went to the taping of the Thanksgiving special that is to be aired on the food network in November and that was Emerill doing his thing. Very good it was too. Ok, I'll stop now. :)

Was on BBC Children in Need many moons ago playing in a clarinet quartet, we got on the radio and the TV.

Mum used to be friends with Rick Wakeman when she was growing up, clutching at straws now

Ah Wisconsin. That is one place I find hard to pronounce for some reason. It comes out as wicks cousin. No idea why! If I ever went there I would have to write it down - "Take me to Wisconsin!" They'd think I was a robber or or hijacker! I had best stay put then.....

No fame claims to fame - well I saw Alison Moyet in Basildon once. Oh and Normal Major (wife of ex Prime Minister) outside Peter Jones in Sloane Square. I also saw the Queen Mum somewhere - oh and Bryan Ferry (swoon!) at a ball, plus Naomi Campbell's mum at same place (she turns up at the opening of an envelope that one! Also the squeeky voice ex wife of Peter Davidson (He was in the vet series) Sandra Dickenson - that's it. SHe played Trillion in that space programe - (you are all now scratching your heads) - Restaurant at the end of the universe? What was it called? Had Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect in it.

Ok I will shut up now and lie down somewhere.

Ha HA - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! There, I have a brain cell left. Hey I may not be able to pronounce Wisconsin but I can remember this!

:lol: Peacock i remember that blonde bimbo :chin: now..Peter Davidson..is he in "at home with the Braithwaites"?? which is on at the moment and i must say that i'm enjoying immensely even tho' it is a little wacky :dizzy:

Can't think of anyone famous that i might know :chin: but while i was back in England i met one of the Rolling Stones guitarist and he gave me a 'pick' with the 40 Licks logo on..thought he was winding me up till someone showed me the pics of him with Mick and Keith :rolleyes: wonder if i'll get owt for it on Ebay? :lol:

Gosh, sweetgirluk....you really started a conversation there !!!Haven't heard from you since!!!Have we scared you off???Do hope not...Has anyone warned you we are all mad on this thread...(and probably all the others too!!)

:devil: ;) :lol: :blah: :blah: :cheers: :bubbles: :bubbles:

Ta ta for tonight...:comp: :comp: :comp:

Oh no, you didn't scare me off....just had a crazy week and even crazier weekend. Im here...lurking around today, and will try and post when I can.

Thank for asking! :)

Yes Cat90 The same Peter Davidson is "At home with the Braithewaites". I never saw it myself although I always meant to.

Is that Peter Davidson the same one that took the part of Seigfreid Farnon's younger brother Tristan, MANY years ago in All Creatures Great And Small???:lol: :lol:

And he was Dr. Who for a time, was he not? I et he feels right popular again now, seeing as he gets talked a lot about on this thread :)

Yay!! Who else can we yabber about???:gossip: :gossip: :mag: :gossip: Sometimes a little knowledge is a dagerous thind, and at others we would get nowhere without it!!:blah: :blah: :write: :write: :write: :comp: :comp: :comp:

I lived in Hampstead while I was training to be a nurse. We used to star spot, generally seeking George Michael but more usually find ing Pierce Brosnan :smug: yum! Loved it there - you're lucky to live in such a handsome suburb, good pubs and food if I recall.....am going off in to Hampstead food fantasy now

Hey!! You be careful with fantasy food trip, Plopster, you never know what trouble can be lurking round every dreamy corner!Oh dear.....Pavlova...help...I'm sinking....too late....for I am sunk in the icecream:devil: :devil: :lol:

OK Teel, after you've sucked your way through the ice cream, go and have three walks with Holly today to burn those calories off. Although you might not need to, cos now I have visions of you swimming around in the middle of a pavlova, and remember swimming burns calories :)
Have a great day.

Hampstead is lovely. I am in north London too, Crouch End to be exact. I moved up here last year from sunny north Devon :)

Hey Phoebe..just saw you there :D how is the Mum-to-be doing? :flow1: I've never been to Hampstead but i would'nt mind running into Pierce Brosnan :T
