Great link, I think I am going to have to try and live by the “Rain sometimes stops play” damn M50 traffic.I have found that screaming and fist shaking does not make people stop braking for no reason on this road.
at least you’ll never face this problem colm!!

Yeah i read that. It sounds suspect to me, I just cant work out how she could break a toe and hurt her ankle even if the trainer started going backwards.
I feel for all the parties in this case.
The gym manager for not knowing any better, the lady in question for being an idiot, and the judge for having to listen to a woman complain about her shoes.
In more exciting news flights to Manchester in May are only 30 euro inc booking. Anyone up for a trip to our friends in CF Manc?
Oh ! Mother of God ! Does the BIG RED BUTTON with the BIG WHITE WORDS ‘STOP’ beside it not give any inclination on what to do. Though lets face it, I’ve always got a good laugh out of watching people train in a gym. YOu could tell them a million times how to do something and it wouldn’t matter. My particular favourite use to be girls doing ‘press-ups’ when really all they where going was bending their elbows and then they would get up and say their shoulders where sore. Cheered me up no end
Anyone look at the main site today? I’m glad I’ve got my Best of the Dubliners cd on my iPod. Diddly idle dee and all that.
I’m looking forward to this “St Patty’s Day”, I’ve never heard of it before.
Oh, I see they’ve corrected it now. Probably for the best.
bobby what size is your drunk, funny, strong tshirt?
Joking aside on the crosstrainer story, unfortunately we are an extremely litiguous society and in any line of work (fitness training or otherwise) there is always the possibility that someone is going to lawyer up, whether they’ve got real grounds to or not.
Yeah Helen got in there and corrected them.
Also, Paddy’s day is rounds completed, as the time is predetermined.

Really, we should have been consulted on this one.
Colm, I’m not sure. Medium I think. I’ll check when I get home.
The other side of the coin on the legal case is maybe now people will be shown how to use equipment and get some decent instruction instead of just paying their fee and getting a crap service.
Colm, I only hope that now you understand why I was against a lupreeshun doing CF.
“The other side of the coin on the legal case is maybe now people will be shown how to use equipment and get some decent instruction instead of just paying their fee and getting a crap service.”
Tom I’d honestly doubt it. Speaking from a purely financial perspective I’d say its cheaper to endure a lawsuit or two than to pay for decent instruction. Morally yes, it should happen but if gyms were all about morals then they wouldn’t be as they are. Man I’m cynical today.
Wait, is this one of those double exposure tricks where big shane is doing wall balls then changes clothes and does presses in the same picture?
Will have to give manchester a miss unfortunately,
Last night was rough to say the least, it could of been made funny by successfully jocking jeff during the run but I lacked the dexterity and focus to pull it off,
