Not normally a treadmill man, but...

[Rignold]

... if anything were to convert me to the idea, Carol Vorderman naked on a treadmill is a good start

Yes it conjures up some images

Mathematician I'd Like to Follow???

[Bazza1234 Graduate]

Totally naked ??? Bouncy , Bouncy!!! -- or maybe she was just walking??

[Idolitorus Graduate]

If you are flagging you could imagine me behind you naked.

God, that would even speed me up! Uuuurgh *shivers*

[poppypug Graduate]

Tsk ! I know , don't you just hate it when this happens ? There you are, naked and running on a treadmill ( like you do ) and then Ooops , you fall off !

It happens to me all the time - Pah ! xxx

[Rignold]

With me it's falling out of trees

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Rignold]

How are the ribs these days Rig ? xxx

[Rignold in reply to poppypug]

temporarily better, thank you. I am running again, and as of this week allowed to start weight-bearing exercise. Expressly forbidden from tree climbing though, naked or clad.

I never understood in those Health and Efficiency nudist colony films from the 60's why all the activities nudists seemed to participate in - archery, badminton, cycling, wlaking round the refrigerated section on supermarkets and barbecuing. always seemed to be activities that one usually does clothed for resaons of protection and practicality rather than prudishness. Running on a treadmill is perhapas not quite as foolhardy as operating a lathe, perhaps, but still seems a tad ill advised to me.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Oh yes ! I remember those films ha ha . People playing tennis with it all flopping about

Glad to hear you're well on the mend . No climbing trees ! Time to pack your loincloth away for a bit , Tarzan xxx

[Mary_O Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Oh dear, the images! And yes, I have seen some of those 'documentaries' too and have often thought "people! please! put it away before something either shrivels up or drops off."

Also, I am bizarrely reminded of The Wicker Man (Christopher Lee version).

Good English Copper has seen girls dancing in fertility ritual.

Copper: But they - are NAKED!

Lord Summerisle: Naturally. It's much too dangerous to jump over fires with your clothes on.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Mary_O]

Oh I haven't seen the Christopher Lee version just the Edward Woodward one xxx

[Mary_O Graduate in reply to poppypug]

That's the one - Chris Lee was Lord Summerisle

[Rignold in reply to Mary_O]

Such a good film. I have not seen the remake because it would incite me to rage. It always astonishes me why they think films that are classics because of the magical combination of great script, great direction and great performances from great actors, will somehow work with a watered down script, lacklustre direction and phoned-in performances from mediocre at best actors, and Nic Cage sleepwalking through the key role.

Oh, sorry, was I ranting?

[Mary_O Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Not a wasted rant if you were ranting. I made it half way through the remake before turning it off in disgust at the sanitised and boring changes in the story.

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Mary_O]

Ah yes ! Sorry I remember - Doh ! xxx

[Rignold]

Apropos of movies, this is the forthcoming release I am looking forward to. Made by my daughter this morning. Sorry for shameless nepotistic plug. Not sure if this link will work:

[Rignold]

Hmm no. Does not seem to work. hang on...

[baronblaze]

How can you fall off a treadmill ? Has she been taking lessons from Ronnie Corbett ?Did she trip on something hanging down ? If i was running naked on a treadmill i would keep quiet about it - unless i needed the publicity.

[Rignold in reply to baronblaze]

the risk of tripping on something hanging down would be one of the reasons I would not run naked, on a treadmill or anywhere.

[poppypug Graduate]

I have fallen off a treadmill but I was fully clothed at the time xxx

[Mary_O Graduate in reply to poppypug]

I am convinced I would end up on the floor in a heap if I tried a treadmill. I have never been on one, and I can't see that changing.

[Rignold in reply to Mary_O]

A heap of what, is the question...?

[Mary_O Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Either a sobbing heap of broken limbs, or this:

[poppypug Graduate in reply to Mary_O]

Aw love it ! Hard to believe Rick Mayall is not with us anymore xxx

[misswobble Graduate]

Oh dear, poor Carol! It's not long since she ran into the wall and bashed her face up is it. She was wearing very high heels that day.

[Idolitorus Graduate in reply to misswobble]

On the treadmill? No wonder she fell off.
