Re: Bob's Bits.
Thanks for looking in Gumbud, it's always nice to hear your comments although sometimes I can't make my mind up if you are concerned for my wellbeing or just extracting the Michael!
Anyway, on this rare occasion I have allowed Mrs Fox to read your comments and she agrees with you.......She would take sides with anyone but me.....Especially some humourous Aussie Bloke.
Ten years ago.......Nay, twenty years ago, It was possible for me to get down on the floor and rattle off an unlimited amount of pressups. So about a year ago, after managing about three decided it was time to give em' another go. I built up to twenty at one go but seem to be stuck at that, I can't seem to get beyond twenty. My usual routine is after my morning shower to do twenty [sometimes twenty one] go for a shave and then return for another fifteen. But I can still only manage twenty at one go. This morning though, after my second set I was feeling decidedly crap....perhaps I should just be content with the twenty.
About halfway through 'The Good Karma Hospital' last night was an advert featuring Bradley Wiggins.....Whom I have great respect for, but I was sad to see that he has made three bad decisions in his life.......
(1) Having all one arm filled with Tattoo's. What a mess, and such a bad example to the younger generation. I blame Robbie Williams and David Beckham for setting this trend. Some discrete tattoo can look quite effective, but to fill large surfaces of skin with unsightly ink is just madness. After a few years it's impossible to tell what it originally was anyway. I would suppose it's to demonstrate the rebel in you, or your free spirit to put two fingers up to the establishment, but it's quite the opposite.....It's just following fashion and trying to imitate some celebrity, who will, by the way, be able to afford to have them removed when they get tired of them.....
(2) He's grown a beard......And looks like Grizzly Adams.....Get yourself a shave man, or at least tidy it up......
(3) He's driving a Skoda........Nuff Said....He certainly has gone down in my estimation.
I was just perusing the forum the other day and found myself in May's profile.....Is that picture of you May? By jove, what a good looking woman you are, not at all what I thought you'd look like after reading some of your posts.....
Just to visit Gumbud's comment again, I don't necessarily write in 'Bob's Bit's' to attract the fairer sex, although I really appreciate all the ladies looking in. But I know there are a few secret runners on the forum, I say secret, because they rarely talk about their exploits. I know Spitty does a bit, and Mart likes his off road biking, and I do believe Realist gets out occasionally, but we don't seem to have much of a dedicated training section where we can discuss our up's and down's, or training schedules. I miss Floydy, although I couldn't understand much of what he did, I wish I could have bonded a bit more. So it would be interesting if some of you runners [or joggers] out there, male or female, put down a paragraph or two in 'Bob's Bit's' and we could exchange views, or just moan about how hard the last run was.....
