Did anybody catch "My Big Breasts and Me" on BBC last night?

[NewJeffCT]

I can't believe I missed it - it was on in prime time on BBC America last night. Great title.

I didn't know the average woman in the UK is a 36D?

1. I watched it the other night

Good show.

It is really a pain to carry them around if you've got big ones.

edit: And just like over here, the avg UK woman is overweight, so of course bras are going to be bigger.

4. I'm sure it is tough

to carry "them" around.

I knew a girl in high school that would only go on blind dates set up by her female friends because she was so concerned that men she had met in person and/or had approached her were only focused on her chest. I think she even later married a guy she had met on a blind date.

My ex-wife was similarly concerned, though not that bad where she went on only blind dates. However, she did note that I was the first guy that did not notice her for her chest or huge blue eyes first.

26. So, what DID you notice first...???

:evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

27. well

her personality, because a mutual acquaintance got us together, but we spoke on the phone for a few weeks first.

however, in person it was hard not to notice certain features - esp. since she broke her foot right before we met and came hopping out to greet me - but, I was just good at keeping my eyes from wandering.

32. It is a hassle to carry "them" around. When I was younger, I was

a 34A. When I turned 45 I must have experienced a delayed puberty because I suddenly blossomed into a 36C! Now I have to wear a bra all the time, driving on rough roads is very uncomfortable and running almost involves holding them in place with my hands. They aren't nearly as much fun as it looks like.

6. Mine aren't Huge, but big enough to be a hassle...

It's a pain to buy clothes - size 8 jeans, size large top (38D), try finding a dress that fits!! Size 12 for the top to fit but then the bottom half is too big.

At the age of 50, yes, they're real and they used to be spectacular, now they are heading for my waistband.....oy vey! Hoping to get a breast lift/reduction next year!

2. I'd suspected as much, yes

about the D cups

[Iggo]

3. No, but I caught "My Small Breasts And I."

Truth.

[edbermac]

5. Probably the only time O'Reilly has watched the Beeb.

:7

[youthere]

8. He was hoping it was an expose'

[Chovexani]

7. Every man on the plane last night was watching it.

I flew JetBlue home and literally every man in the row in front of mine was watching it. Maybe they'll have learned something with the ogling.

[supernova]

9. My guess is

they'll all willingly volunteer for "support" work.

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

10. I'm sure it was all research driven

purely clinical.

[Oeditpus Rex]

11. I'm so glad you put that in quotes

As you should be. :)

[AngryAmish]

12. More sophisticated European cultural programming

(and I did watch a few minutes last night).

[NewJeffCT]

28. it's good to see

it's not limited to the US

[MilesColtrane]

13. I didn't watch it.

I swear...cross my heart.

[KitchenWitch]

14. If you are lying, you will not be able to post for 18 hours.

[MilesColtrane]

24. OK...

You caught me.

I'm so ashamed.

I'll do anything to Lift and Separate myself from the crowd here.

[no name no slogan]

15. Would it be tasteless/sexist to say

This thread is worthless without pics?

[NewJeffCT]

16. it's a good tasteless, though

This is one from the show


here is another one that came up while I search for images on my big breasts & me

[Deja Q]

17. Holy Hindenburgs, Batman!

Oh the humanity!!

She's gonna have back problems...

[eppur_se_muova]

30. I wonder how she'll make it to the next tree?

:shrug:

[NewJeffCT]

31. maybe she'll bounce there?

:shrug:

[Arkansas Granny]

33. She would have to lean on something to keep from falling over.

Yikes!

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Nope, only saw my own big breasts...

Alas, not that entertaining, I see them every day....yawn.

:yoiks:

[NewJeffCT]

19. lol

entertainment is in the eye of the beholder.

[bicentennial_baby]

22. true dat homie....

Let's just say I'm on par with the average British woman :D

:rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. I didn't know you had big breasts.

Was this your 15 minutes of fame? :evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

21. Nah, they were too big for my hands.

:P

[dropkickpa]

23. I saw it

I felt bad for the women, I have problems but they make mine look small!

[MilesColtrane]

25. I heard the UK sponsor was Brumpski's™ Fish and Chips. n/t

[NewJeffCT]

29. Kick for LynneSin

just because.

[CGowen]

34. No. Did it increase worldwide? I heard from Jamye Waxman recently that it was 36B in the USA

On blogs others say it has increased from B to C, but I can't find an article or a link to data.

[NewJeffCT]

35. this might require some research

but, I remember several years ago hearing that the average had increased from a B to a C as well - my friend said it was evidence of natural selection.
