    Well today I went to the gym and there was a lovely man on the excercise bike next to me, he was making a delightful noise by sniffing all of the mucus out of his nose into his throat. :-XIs there a word for that? ???

    Then he would make a coughing noise before presumably swallowing (I believe that it's customary to spit at this point if you're outdoors)

    It really put me in the mood for my tea :-X

    :-X
    Just run, run and keep on running!

  • Euugh Poochy that must have been horrible for you!

    I think I might have been sick I can't bear sputum! He obviously hadn't been trained in the use of a hankie!

    Don't get me started on stinky men in the gym.....I work in one, you wouldn't believe some of the personal hygiene habits some people have (or don't have).

    I know, imagine going to a gym and actually working up a sweat and smelling a bit!

    It's not the sweating that's the problem, it's the sweat!

    We take towels to wipe ourselves then it doesn't get on the machines, and to stop it literally spraying others while we excersise.

    We also wear deodorant! ;)

    At the moment I hate all the newbies who have joined in January obviously on their new years resolutions wanting to look great for summer.

    There are loads of people swanning around in their wonderful new tracksuit and trainers that obviously haven't seen an ounce of sweat. Roll on February when they give up and don't come back.

    Sounds b!tchy I know as I was once new, but these people are obviously there just to say 'I've been to the gym'- well the reality is the majority of them aren't working up a sweat so won't see the results except an empty bank account!!!! Good riddance.
    :idea:I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about:idea:
