I’ve gotten 20% of all the achievements I’ve ever, umm, achieved since lockdown kicked off. Deal with it :lol:

I’ve got writer’s block. Supposed to be writing a book at the moment but not getting to grips with it at all, and alongside working from home/not being to teach for half of the year I’ve had strawberry float all else to do.

Haven’t played much since 2010 but never stopped buying the strawberry floaters so I’ve got literally hundreds to get through. :lol:

I love stuff like this.

I do this thing for suppressing sneezes. Read about it years ago. I push my top lip towards my nose and hold if I feel one coming on.


Not a myth - I got taught that for boarding spinal patients to stop them trying to hold it in and strawberry floating a neck injury even worse.


It really works. On the other hand, the tinnitus ending behind the ear tapping thing is utter, utter bollocks.

Duplicated from the fitness thread but I'm strawberry floating raging and need multiple outlets, some strawberry floating prick has stolen all my gooseberry fool from the gym. Some clothes, all my cards and one of my most expensive possessions, my Bose headphones. Absolute total and utter banana splits.

No CCTV, I left it outside the locker (in the changing room) by mistake. Was probably 5 of us in the gym the whole time. Very unlucky that one of them was a strawberry floating thieving banana split.

Scumbags. I love the way, after all this time, all this BUT DA GYM BRO, the first thing someone thinks to do is to steal from someone. What a banana split.

Grumpy David has gone too far at the gym this time :x

Seriously though that's really shitty. Would you recognise any of the people that were there? Are they regulars that you could have a word with, maybe not to accuse but to see if they saw anything?

Maybe square up to each of them and say that you're going to the gym and you expect the stuff back by the time you've finished your reps.

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

There was only 5 or 6 people there the whole time but wasn't paying much attention to them. A lot of them also don't speak English which makes communicating difficult!

:lol:

Tbh a large part of me doesn't want the prick to wear the headphones to the gym because I'll obviously have to confront him and don't really want to have to get in a fight with someone to get my gooseberry fool back. Could call the cops if I see him but the chance of the Polish cops listening to me when i can't speak the language is absolutely 0.

I can imagine the confrontation being like a 'roided up version of Cobra Kai, you both just orbiting each other live streaming on Instagram, shouting bro while someone oils themself up in the background.

BRObra Kai

Orbiting each other, what a phrase :lol:

That’s shite though Ian, hope it gets resolved and you get your stuff back.

Do gyms have to record the details of anyone using them like pubs and restaurants do at the moment? Tell them you've got the 'rona and need the details of the other people who were there at the same time to warn them to isolate - then you can pay them a visit. :nod:

Some do actually, PureGym has a wee pod that you have to go through and put your code in so they can find out who has been in a gym at any time by checking the data, presumably. No idea whether that’s the case in Poland but I don’t see why it’d be different. Just depends on what gym he’s using.

Don't most gyms already need you to swipe/scan a membership card to enter anyway? The ones I've used always had that anyway, scan your membership card before the entry gate will open to allow entry.

Again it depends on the gym. A lot of the fitness club sort of gyms have a system like that but if he’s only using a smaller, boxing or fighting style place then maybe not.
