Another naysayer. Be careful dc or, one day, the new bbo will arrive in Borewood and you'll lose the blue rinsers forever!

Like yourself jazza, i am transmogrifying into a new and even better me.

Had my first gym session (properly called a workout I believe) today. My Personal Trainer escorted me to a treadmill to “warm up”, as she put it. That was quite painful as the side rails rubbed rather nastily on my manly mid section.

I was gasping and bawling after about 30 seconds so she decided I was warmed up enough. She also attempted to get me on a bike but that caused some very embarrassing personal issues.

Now it was time to “pump iron”. I was led to a machine called the “Pec Deck” – apparently used to develop one’s pectorals. Well my pectorals hang to my waist so I didn’t think further development was required. However, I allowed myself to be guided by the professional (as I have on many previous occasions)

An excruciating experience but I did my 5 “reps” (that’s gym talk) and called it a day.

I understand protein intake is advised after a workout so I purchased (and consumed) 2 meat pies on the way back to the manor.

I’ll have a day’s rest and be back into it on Thursday.

However, I feel I have made advances already.

"Pec Deck"??? Is your trainer a Kiwi by chance Bitty? If so, I think she was referring to you, unfortunately.

Exactly what I was getting at dc. Beautifully illustrated.

Pair of cretins!!!

Very negative and unsupportive of you Biffen. I am sure that when I become a new man I'll be be a big hit at the Gat and you'll be in my shadow.

BTW. As to "visual stimulation", I was receiving quite a few meaningful glances today!!

hahahahahahahahha So let me get this right.

You are Fat,Bald and Ugly and now besides being an alco you're trying to change by getting rid of the puppyfat.

haaaaaaaaahhahahahhahaWont work BBO,you will still be ugly andbald besides being an alky.

When I'm buffed and virile and doing all night, what you blokes can only dream of all night - then we'll see.

PS. I'm not sure "puppyfat" is the term I would have chosen.

Sorry to talk footy here guys, but I heard Ian Prendergast the Player's CEO, on radio this morning say, that Free Agency was needed and was good as how else would players get to the better clubs so that they could play in finals. I thought that was a pretty pathetic comment, but at least honest and shows the real agenda behind FA.

Free Agency has nothing to do with equalisation, it is solely about players leaving the weaker clubs for the stronger ones. It will help to destroy the game.

FA was after all driven by players.....for guess who ?? Its no surprise then that as its a blinkered and skewed perspective ( the AFLPA ) that its a smooth going as a Roller Bearing in sawdust.

Given up the darts and then started the hallucinogens Jazza?

Another successful workout completed. After a solid minute or so on the treadmill my PT gave me a new exercise today. Barbell curling is, I believe, what she called it. Good for the "guns" evidently. My guns are off course, quite huge but perhaps a tad flaccid. She said I demonstrated good "form" with this exercise. ("Form" is important in gym parlance). She went on to say that in a few weeks she would start putting some weights on the bar! Made me quite swell with pride.

Anyway, I was so encouraged that I scoffed two quiches rather than unhealthy pies on the way home.

BBO doing it tough going home after a hard workout at the re-hab centre gym

Now don't be jealous Jazza, just because my flaccid still swells.

BTW

Although I do not wish to discourage your new found health zealotry, you mentioned that you pectorals were resting on your gut.

This means they are technically titz as pectoral is a muscle..

And I thought you only pumped irony.

Now don't get uppity on me Biffen. I know those girls at the Gat have titz that rest on their gut.

Real men don't eat quiche Bitty. And I'm pretty certain PT stands for psycho-therapist...

FMD. I didn't realise we had so many comedians on Dland. I wouldn't recommend giving up your day jobs though!!
