Reply to: What do you talk to old gits about

Tell him this:

Exercise is bad for you.

It's true, like any piece of equipment the more frequently it's used the sooner it reaches it fatigue life distribution.

Professional athletes do damage to themselves much sooner than many of us would.

So first day in a new contract and i'm sat next to one of those ancient health freak nutters (with a dodgy knee) who rabbits on about the youth of today and how we are all a waste of space. Worse he clearly cycled or ran to the office this morning and has not showered.

Can anyone give me some things to talk about as it like talking to my senile parents..

Women's norks. Works when I talk to myself.

Its a tough skill to get. I finally managed it on Enduroman in June. Was very tough the entire race - but I persevered and did a huge one on the last lap.

I have to use baking soda on the shoes though.

Also at enduroman on lap 23(of 24) on gthe run course one of the double ladies was taking her 1-piece lycra suit off as I turned a corner. I screamed and she put it back on. I pointed out there was a toilet 50m away and she said "I could not wait that long". I reckon she gets her kicks from weeing in public....

The last time I heard a man scream was when he saw a spider in his bedroom. I had to go and remove it for him.

I know what that split is for - Some of those racing cyclists don't stop to wee

The topics of punched cards and disk drums can be relied on to animate old gits in IT, sometimes for hours.

I was hoping for a topic that wouldn't also send me to sleep....

CARREFOUR BABY LOTION MILK RELAXING 500ML

If you are going to be sat on it : in my worst case for up to 9 and a half hours and then knock out a marathon - it had better be comfortable or I can send you some nice linkies to saddle sores

So there's the OP's answer. Why do old gits spend so much doe on crap kit to look stupid.

It's a male psychology approach to getting fit. Ride a big old granny bike with shopping attachments and you won't mind going slowly. Ride a serious race bike and wear all the lycra and you'll feel a right wally going slowly, hence you go fast and get fitter.

Dallas explained how her new bike seat(one of those 2 pronged ones) fits her bits perfectly.

I suppose it would, sideways.
