so who here does a sport?
What is it? Are you good at it? Do you do it for fitness or for other reasons?

I watch football on TV and shout 'GO ON YOU SPUUUURRRS' whilst flakes of pie fly out my mouth, whilst wearing a five year old team shirt and a can of lager in one hand
does that count?

not really.

( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:35, archived)

I climb sometimes
but you already knew this.

that's GREAT! you two can be FRIENDS now!

I don't know
I did some pretty terrible things on this forum, I'd be wary of me.
( WormuIus, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:38, archived)

well if you can't find any friends, you may find that repressing your homosexuality and seeking attention is a good substitute

( Gilgamesh gazed in wonder as Frampton came alive, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:40, archived)

That's true
maybe if I repress my homosexuality hard enough boys will like me!
( WormuIus, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 11:01, archived)

an excellent choice

i have never really been sporty.
i like to swim, and i use a rowing machine for fitness.

otherwise i like to bound and frolic and roll down grassy slopes.
( sleepybinky, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:34, archived)

some people just don't get into it.

( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:37, archived)

i used to do kayaking. That was fun.
but i think i prefer PLAYTIME sport to team sports. I used to like climbing trees.

Rounders is ok.
( sleepybinky, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:39, archived)

I absolutely love frolicky type exercise.
like when a game of frisbee goes a bit stupid and involves rugby tackles and piggy backing.
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:40, archived)

well yeah frisbee is fun too.
so i hate sport, but i like swimming, skipping, poi, frisbee, rounders, climbing, kayaking, and i do rowing too.

that's not THAT bad is it.
( sleepybinky, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:45, archived)

I play football GMoS
I play it for fitness and because I really love bursting the net with my sexily powerfully shots every several minutes.

Smashing success!
I like playing football, I'm shit at it, but I enjoy it all the same.
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:37, archived)

Does jogging/running count?
I'm doing it to train up for the marathon next year, if I can get in.
( WHARRGARBL, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:35, archived)

Seriously though, what do you think about when you're running?

( mike woz ere 7442200 & 7696970 getter, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:36, archived)

Depends really.
It's normally either "shit, do I have any food left?" or "I wonder if I can afford ...."
( WHARRGARBL, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:38, archived)

I always end up thinking things like
"how long can I go on at this pace..." "if I stop abruptly it'll look a bit weird" "maybe i should slow gradually to a stop"
( mike woz ere 7442200 & 7696970 getter, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:51, archived)

yes it does.
Good job, and good luck training up for that.

I do 4x100 speed mincing relay and synchronised pipe smoking

( Donkey Gums @mattcomedy, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:35, archived)

Oh I do the 5 metre 'coo-eee' straddle

( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:38, archived)

I do long distance running when time and spazzy knees allow me to.

Running is my joy.
Fucks my knees up, though :(

Sport is shit.
Unless trampolining counts as a sport.
( Major Turd for tonight only, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:41, archived)

it probably does
if you're a woman.

I like watching women on trampolines
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:43, archived)

I play football twice a week and coach a kids team twice a week.
For fun, fitness, the banter and the social aspect. Plus, it's good for networking too, thought I hate that word.

And I'm alright.
( RR I love you ... in a way, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:43, archived)

smashing choice!
good to see you putting into the community as well
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:44, archived)

I'd like to do more varying activities, but my current schedule takes up a lot of time/energy as it is.
I'd like to play squash and swim more.
( RR I love you ... in a way, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:57, archived)

Used to go climbing
occasional kick about in the park

cancelled gym membership though - sick of musclebound freaks sitting at the machine next to me, checking what weight I was using then setting theirs to twice as heavy; as if I was going to say "oooh WOW! how AWESOME are you?", when all I really wanted was for them to suffer a prolapsed rectum
( h3donist tryin' to play me out as if my name is Sega.., Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:44, archived)

you get a payrise with a prolapsed rectum in your line of work
LOL JUST KIDDING, WE'RE ALL FRIENDS HERE, I ALSO DISLIKE GYM FOLK.

zing!
Does beard growth count as exercise?
( h3donist tryin' to play me out as if my name is Sega.., Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:49, archived)

if it does I guess I can add to my list :)

This is what annoys me at the gym.
Mostly nice people, a minority of testosterone fuelled wankers preening themselves in the mirror every 5 minutes.
( Major Turd for tonight only, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:49, archived)

unfortunately the gym I went to was almost 100% testosterone fulled wankers
all drinking Maximuscle protein shakes etc.

but it was only £12 a month

I DO!
I do Climbing, Kendo, Swimming and Road Biking.
I'm ok at Climbing, I'm ok at Kendo, I'm better than most but shit compared to who I swim with, and I'm not bad at peddling.
I do climbing because I love the feeling and exposure
I do kendo because I quite like the concentration and discipline plus it's incredibly knackering, great for fitness.
I swim entirely to keep fit and loosen off
I road bike to get to places and general fitness.
( GrandmaOfShoes, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 10:48, archived)
