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

frank Have you thought of taking up Netball, just for a change?

janeainsworth

I think I am a little bit old for Netball.

Frank

Rubbish Frank, you'd look fetching in one of those little netball kits, or perhaps you're not a team player?

Just come back from trying Zumba.
When I went in a lady said I was likely to be the only man in the class but she said I was most welcome.

Frank

The mind boggles.

I think the cashiers must be telepathic at my centre.
They know which class I am going to even if it is one I do not normally attend.

Frank

Perhaps they just know which class is the next one.

There are sometimes 4 classes starting at the same time.

I have just looked on the internet and men do play netball.

Frank

Yes, but if one of them is netball,they'll know you think you're too old for that one. If one of them doesn't currently have any men in the class, they'll know that's the one you're making a bee line for.

Frank they see you coming.

I expect you're a legend in your own lifetime at that place, Frank!

Hunter did you enjoy the Zumba class?

When I have phoned the centre they do know who I am.

Frank

I'm sure they do.

There can't be many men phoning up just to check which classes are lacking a man or two....

Yes I did enjoy the Zumba class.
I have just got to learn the moves.

Frank

I always amazed in the Zumba class that there are some people who turn up and don't do anything just take up space.

Hi suzied

Well I did do something but I think some of it was wrong today.

Frank

Aqua zumba is good - no-one can see just what you're doing with your feet.

Frank I know men play netball sometimes. That's why I suggested it for you.
When I lived in Hongkong, I captained a team and we regularly played the husbands/boyfriends.
They were slow to realise it was a non-contact sport though.

janeainsworth

Not really a non contact sport when it is played competitively in the southern hemisphere jane. Very popular and seems to include a lot of shoving. And it is indeed played my men as well as women. I know a middle aged dad who plays in a mixed team at his local leisure centre.
But that aside, I realise that I have been slow. I have not understood what kind of thread this is. Light has dawned at last. I just had not realised that the post-modern-conceptual-installation-vibe had extended from video installation to a new medium - the forum thread. You start a thread in the post-modern-conceptual-installation-vibe tradition (sorry, did not mean to use a dirty word, realise tradition is anathema for the vibe.). Preferably on "virgin territory" in terms of forums, in the interests of originality. Forum members take it seriously and join in. Other forum members recognise the potential and contribute in their own post-modern-conceptual-installation-vibe way and the work develops.
I wonder how long before it can finally be submitted as the third module of the OP's MA in post-modern-conceptual-installation-art?
Am I right in thinking that the OP has blurted over a herbal tea in the student union that GN is the trending place to "create work" at the moment. It was pretty mean of those in the know not to PM me and give me the heads up.
Goes off in a huff to re-read thread and immerse self in art appreciation.
