Good news. The ladies only classes have stopped at my leisure centre.

Myself and a few other men have complained to our local leisure centre about classes which only ladies can use.
Our argument was they were not providing men only classes and if the ladies wanted ladies only classes without equivalent men only classes the ladies which use these classes should pay extra as it is a council leisure centre for everybody to use.
They have done a survey and found that none of the ladies going to these classes were bothered about men being in them.
As far as I am concerned any ladies who want ladies only classes should go to private gyms.
The membership fees are a lot higher than the local leisure centre but that is their problem.

I think you're disappointed gracesmum.

gracesmum Wed 30-Jan-13 21:24:34

Maybe like juggling jellies - no chance of a straight response but hey.... suspect a cunning plan hmm

Whaaaat??? grin

gracesmum Wed 30-Jan-13 21:30:06

Oh, is it Bums and Tums tonight?

glassortwo Wed 30-Jan-13 21:31:22

Oh no lycra shock

gracesmum Wed 30-Jan-13 21:33:26

Maybe the men like to be at the front so that the poor women (sorry, laydees) can admire their physique, not to mention technique? Treat in store!

glassortwo Wed 30-Jan-13 21:34:06

Ohhhh

Nonu Wed 30-Jan-13 22:21:15

gracesmum, your mention of juggling jellies brought back to mind the view up the men's shorts! grin The most modest men wear lycra cycling shorts with baggy ones over the top, by far the best look.
Am I the only one who admits to watching a certain area when viewing men's athletics? Quite distracting! I guess that makes me an ogler.

I am reminded of yoga classes led by men I have been to over the years.

One flirted with an attractive young woman in the group, another was obviously getting off on having a large group of women bending this way and that at his command (this impression was confirmed when he was overheard making a comment about a certain part of his anatomy tingling) and third must have omitted to put his grundies on before donning his track suit bottoms so that it was as though a sleeping snake was flopping backwards and forwards as he moved into yoga positions.

Thought you'd all like to know that!

The point is why do so many men have to bring sex into everything?

Got a surprise last night.

A younger man and woman in the bums and tums group has advised us they are getting engaged on valantines day and the wedding is happening in 2014.
They said they went to junior school together and they met again at the bums and tums class.
The only slightly strange thing is he is about 5 foot 6 inches and she is about 6 foot 3 inches.
I can only wish them every happiness.

How romantic! Perhaps you could have a whip round and buy them a stool or a step ladder as an engagement present!

Notsogrand Thu 31-Jan-13 10:00:19

Curiouser and curiouser....

glammanana Thu 31-Jan-13 10:02:22

Why slightly strange ? does everything have to conform ? I think not as long as they are happy together it doesn't make the slightest difference good luck to them,I hope comments are never made about my 6' 2" DS and his fiance who just makes it to 5' 1" and a half (most important that half.)

Ana Thu 31-Jan-13 10:18:22

That's just it though, glamma, isn't it? A tall man and much smaller woman doesn't excite comment, but the other way round.....[shiock]

Ana Thu 31-Jan-13 10:18:35

shock!

Anne58 Thu 31-Jan-13 10:22:15

Bercow? Bernie doo dah?

Oldgreymare Thu 31-Jan-13 10:28:38

Couldn't resist this Petallus:

Ana Thu 31-Jan-13 10:28:39

Quite! (Don't know who Bernie doo dah is, though! grin)

Ana Thu 31-Jan-13 10:29:26

Oh yes! Ecclestone!

Anne58 Thu 31-Jan-13 10:35:02

The lady wins a prize! Anything from the top shelf, Ana grin

OGM ???

I wish you hadn't have said "whip round" *phoenix. Not sure why.
