Sunday - Down at the Gym

One Sunday the forum arranged a gym day. Two members turned up thinking t was GIN tasting!

The email also reminded those prone to angina to remember their GTN spray. Two members brought along bottles of GIN. Fortunately, someone else had brought tonic!

We have a new machine in the gym. After half-an-hour I felt quite nauseous. I had had a walnut whip, a Mars bar, a Snickers but I think the liquorice finished me off!

Wolf (the Gladiator) visited our gym once. Afterwards the gym needed an hour to recover.

Wolf had a longer workout one day. It is repeated each year as the Hertfordshire Mini Triathlon.

Me: What’s that piece of equipment

Trainer: That’s a bench Sir!

Me: That will do nicely

Old Tommy Cooper one - I rang the gym and asked f they could teach me the splits. They said are you flexible? I replied “I can do any day except Tuesday”!

I go to cardio three times a week. Would go more often if it was not so hard to park nearby.

For strength I lift weights. For cardio I lift them faster!

My session at the gym was a waste of time. I forgot my phone so could not put it on Facebook!

Very good. The old Tommy Cooper gags are great, seen him live many years ago, the gags were coming think and fast, problem was we were all doubled up laughing at them and him, could hardly remember any of them later

Going to the gym on a Sunday scandalous! It’s the day for eating a full English and slobbing about in pjs with Sunday papers and wine.

How is your wrong alternative sausage?

The wrong sausage had the appointment cancelled for last week (about 5 minutes after I had collected the paperwork! 🤷🏻‍♀️). Am now being seen this Wednesday. Thanks for asking. I see Michael has gone a bit Gin-crazy!

That must have been disappointing, nothing worse than psyching yourself up & then it's cancelled last minute. I hope you're not worrying too much. Xx. Reading those jokes I think Michael's been taking the gin intravenously!!

For those who can't/don't drink but like the idea of a gin & tonic a certain large supermarket sells a gin & tonic hand wash!! Obviously not for human consumption!!

Not what you're looking for?
