after several intense sessions tdc emerges and sez:

tdc's law #25:

What was your wife doing on BW in the 1st place, Q?

 

[old.MeanMrMustard]

huh? damn i will have to ban my sister didn't realise this was male only

 

[xenon2000]

It isn't but its just normally a place which you dont tell yer other half about, where you can post anything you want, a bit like a night out in the pub or summat like that...

 

[luap]

If our other halves looked at the moo thread we'd all be locked up in no time. Worse, they'll confiscate (?) our PC's :O

 

[old.StarBUCK]

Yeah definitely! Especially as my other half is in fact a cow...

 

[xenon2000]

WB starbuck

 

[old.Quorthon]

er Xenon m8,

Some of us do in fact have a life outside BW. No seriously

In fact I did mention this "In Real Life (tm)" , as in er you know er talking to her I certainly would not let here anywhere near these boards so rest assured. hehe.

On the downside;

ARGH - Ive just come back from the place and me credit cards £990 more in debit than it wus a few hours ago.

On the plus side;

1) Its actually an extremely well-equipped gym with fuckloads of everything, including swimming pools, saunas, all the cardio vascular & weights stuff.

2) There was lots of er attractive scenery about the place

3) They actually have a bank of internet connected pcs, each on dual ISDN, so I can still spam this place while taking 5 between sessions

So I now have no excuses not to emulate TDC and spa....er sorry.. I meant to say .. for getting fit and achieving one of my new years resolutions hehe


Q

 

[Testin da Cable]

m00 look out Quorthon m8, 5p4M too much and you'll get locked up like me


/me gets dragged off by nice peeps in white coats

 

[old.Quorthon]

Gah,

I have to go for a fitness assessment now tonite.

I wonder what the evaluation will be - fit as someone whose only exercise for the past 6 months has been golf and quake i suppose....hmph


Q

 

[old.frankie]

M8

you are lucky

Being in a nice family situation (wife at least) with a job, computer, car etc etc, and being entered into this gym place to make yourself look like arnie is NOT BAD

I wish i had the time/money/circumstance to be able to do that

DONT MOAN, MAKE SOMMING OUTA IT!!!

 

[old.Davehart]

what wife?

 

[old.TUG]

I have a wife, she's only 14 tho

 

[old.Quorthon]

Tug U aint from one of these tribes from a remote part of africa by any chance are ya m8? eh, where the youngsters lose the ole cherry by the age of eleven, and are considered positively ancient by 15?


Q

 

[amobea]

i would suggest you strain you back at the gym if at any stage you don't wanna go for a while
and as a bonus you'll be able to get back rubs from the wife

tho i guess since you fed the gym almost 1000 quid
your prolly gonna go alot to get your moneys worth...

 

[stu]

LOL 1K for Gym Membership?

Did you pay a year in advance or something?

 

[old.Quorthon]

Yeah Stu,

hehe, it wouldnt be by the month now would it?

And thats for 2 BTW, ie £495 each for unlimited use of all facilities and classes. Its about the going rate here in Dublin atm, Im afraid for somewhere with that level of equipment.

Anyways, had me first fitness assessment last night, it wasnt quite as bad as I thought - I guess once you have it, you always have it eh (crap smiley - this is acutally a wink Embattle). Anyway, according to the charts, for my height, age, build etc, I am 22 pounds overweight at 201 pounds, but not actually clinically obese yet. At least I have a goal eh?


Q

 

[old.Luap2]

201 lbs? How tall are you?

 

[old.Davehart]

14 eh Tug? Bit young, do you not want one a bit more wise to the world?

 

[stu]

Christ, that's the oldest gym tactic in the book, making you pay for a year's membership coz they know most people cancel it after a couple of months otherwise (I did ). That, and booking you into a "fitness review" after 3 weeks of not going, to guit trip you into going.

I am 22 pounds overweight at 201 pounds, but not actually clinically obese yet. At least I have a goal eh?

Yup, don't stop eating until you're medically a lardass

 

[old.Quorthon]

Hehe Stu,

I know that happens, and there were a lot of new years resolution type people at the gym the last few nights.

However, all jesting aside, I actually am determined to make a go of it. I used to be incredibly active (keen soccer player) but a cruciate ligament injury and 4 operations later, the last 2 years have seen me turn into a couch potato. I havent been happy with it but shit happens, now I intend to do something about it, no matter how depressing it might be to actually have to exercise. hehe, maybe Ill post a diary over the next few months and see how I get on with it.

btw Luap im just a knats fanny short of 6'.
