I dont mind someone resting for 1 minute between sets on a machine but these muppets are 3-4 mins on their phones in between sets.  I would be nearby waiting to use a particular machine or two and look around and the geebags arent even using it just sitting down on their phones.  I'd give thema a minute or two grace and then will just go up to them and say ''are you using this?'' just to kick their ass into gear.
I'd say most of them aren't in there to do some serious work but instead just poncing about.  I dont bring a phone in as I am there to concentrate not listen to music and certainly not to be on google or instagram.


I had a look around the gym today in a  seminal Grand Pa Simpsons moment where I realised I am  totally different to the new generation.  80% were holding a phone.  Women on treadmills and stairmasters on their phone while working out.  Lads on their phone sitting at machines doing sweet f**k all.  People sitting on the mats beside the mirrors on their phone.

Just get on with it ffs.

I absolutely refuse to believe this only occurred today

The airbnb Pricing thing is s sham. the difference from initial price to the final price is a sham. Just basically lying and trying to sound cheaper than it is.

the use of the phrase " Fake News " does my head in. Especially by people who dislike Trump intensely

Fake News is basically a " lie" Its probably much better to use the word " lies" and not give into Trumps propaganda vocabulary if someone doesnt like Trump

Yeah **** of a yoke, have had a few near misses due to it

It's called the "A Pillar". Blocks an awful lot more of a view in some cars over others.

It's mainly just Littler as he's so handy in on the bull. Bit of showmanship also.
