so
he wasn't actually being a troll then nam
he was p*ssed off
and the cardiac pt comment from Jj was in response to lawrence talking about people walking on treadmills
I couldn't agree more lurker. Paid their money , then they have as much right there as I do.
However, this doesn't detract from the point that it still p*sses me off. When I need to read a book, then I stay at home and read the goddammed book. I dont pretend to be getting some bulls**t exercise. The same amount of calories will be burnt if they were walking to the cupboard to pick up their next packet of crisps.
I also couldn't give a rats arse if they are cardiac patients or as fit as Paula Radcliffe.
If you want to read a book-stay at home.
If you a pee - use the toilet.
If you want to drink and socialise - go to the pub.
If you want to exercise - go to the gym,hit the road or whatever.
but NEVER use the gym as a pseudo-social place to tick off in your diary as DONE.
As for all these kids using gyms...........hmmmm.......get me started on this one! I know where they can go too!!!
TT-brilliant!!!! The way you handled this pompous, obnoxious a***hole was simply excellent
lawrence
i suspect we will never be best friends
Hiya lurker
Experience tells me that we would probably become the best of mates should I ever have the pleasure of meeting you
probably not k
save it for a more intimate gathering perhaps
time will tell lawrence
you are quite local so it is possible
and??
you may as well carry on now yo have started!!!
oh my goodness
oh dear
And a party of ramblers marched past at the crucial moment yelling "MORNING" and brandishing copies of The Guardian?
(I bet this ends up being an x-post)
Once upon a time Mr S and me were out on a scramble, doing some off-road running up hills.
We stopped at the top of a hill to check out the view (and for me to get my breath back) when a group of about 5 ramblers appeared from the other side of the hill.
They came and stood right next to us, as in less than a metre away, to see what we were looking at! FFS!
Times like that I regretted not packing my trusty ice axe...
Yes KK- you'd think wearing 3 baselayers, 2 fleeces and a goretex 3-in-1 coat with matching socks and gloves would have been warm enough... in May
Why are ramblers always splendidly over-dressed?
I'd like to stick up for the walkers on treadmills please. They might have a compulsion that doesn't let them get off the treadmill until the cooldown bit has gone. Um, like me. I did 8 miles on one (not walking) but still had to walk the last three minutes while it ticked down to zero as some part of my brain wouldn't let me off until it was done. I wasn't reading a book though.
And as for permissive bridleways, there's one near me, there's a pic on my blog here. I still don't know what one is though.
Yeah cathyw, it actually not about the walker on a treadmill per se, but the bookie thingiemajiggie. Sorry , my head doesn't fit around that one.
Siance, siance and to think that you would wield an ice-axe around!
(Makes mental note never to peeve Siance off in cold, snowy places!)
i thought those fellas were actually darn fine on those treadmills! Well rehearsed !
Crappy song though
