Lucky you don't go to a gym in Scotland. My mates called Ian and it's promounced 'Iron' in Scotland, and they're pumping Iron all day long up there ...

I know, it's a corker and the chap in question told it so much better than me, I was in pain from laughing so much. The 2 others who witnessed the whole thing as it happened said he was like Stan Laurel after getting a face full of flour...

that is one of the most hideous and funny things I've heard in a long while!Originally posted by lukemg View PostChap I used to work with many moons back was unfortunate to have the locker opposite 'Big Bill'. Nature of his work was dirty and required a shower after each shift.
As you can imagine, Bill was carrying a bit of timber and was also fond of chucking plenty of talcum powder in every crevasse after getting clean.
My mate says he was having nightmares for weeks after lifting his head from doing his shoes up just as Bill bent over and guffed thunderously straight into his face. This left my mate with a 'dusted' face + the combined smell of guff and Old Spice which he could only describe as....grim !
Think yourself lucky...

We've a communal (both sexes) changing area and showers in my Munich gym.
Gosh the gym going lady folk never look like they need to go to the gym in the first place but I'd be hugely disappointed if they dint.

All gyms seem to be tatty. Lucky to find a locker that works at mine. All the tiles are falling off the wall and you get electric shocks from the shower heads. I did try another one today, even worse.

You clearly don't go to a posh enough gym. Are you sure you're a contractor?
