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

ginny have you ever been in an art gallery and seen a lovely stone bench and sat on it, only to realise that it is an exhibit? I remember doing that once in Chicago
Or looking at something in the Tate Modern and thinking "Tut tut, this gallery is a mess! They haven't even taken the rubbish bag out." Only to realise that the bin bag is made of solid plastic and is, again, an exhibit.

I have as much idea of what you are talking about as I do when I read 'Franks' posts.

Just spluttered into my post-modern bucket of tea.

The problem is now whether to:
a/ join the other arty threads and play along in the interests of art
b/ join the other arty threads and blow their cover
c/ carry on ignoring them in the hope that they will complete their assignments for this module and go away. I believe the next module is more challenging - pitching an idea for a post-modern-conceptual app that people can download to their phones.

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.

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.

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

Hi suzied

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

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.

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

Frank

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

I'm sure they do.

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

Frank

Hunter did you enjoy the Zumba class?

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

Frank they see you coming.

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.

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

There are sometimes 4 classes starting at the same time.

Frank

Perhaps they just know which class is the next one.

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.
