Daley Thompson
I've got a couple of gym stories that I've posted before - when the little chap escaped from my shorts in a "Body Pump" class and flapped up and down in time with the music; and the time I slipped in the shower and sat on a bemused naked Chinese man.

But I once joined a David Lloyd gym when I believed I could afford it. I was trying to make friends there but everyone was determined to be snooty, even the chavs looked down on each other. On one occassion Daley Thomson was using the rowing machine (does he belong to every gym in South London?!) and someone said quietly "look over there, its Daley Thompson".

I shouted "HA! DALEY THOMPSON" and mimed vigourously waggling a joystick - I knew him from the computer game more than anything. But unfortunately when he turned around it looked like I was calling him a wanker, and that was the last time anyone at that gym spoke to me.

Yeah I just saw your Daley Thompson reply after I posted my story!!

Now I feel like a fraud. I will not rest until I have found a way to prove I have waggled my joystick at Daley Thompson.

No, please don't...
We can just compete at the 100m in a 'fight to the death'.

Love it!
The squinty, teeth gritted stance of someone waggling their Quickshot can only be compared to a spotty teenager turning himself Japanese.

Marvellous.
