Whites man Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Bollocks. (again) There's no law to make you take your helmet off. Not here anyroad, god knows what you dingo fuckers get up to. Next? Police can you ask you to take off headgear during a section 60 stop and search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites man Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 There's a lot about women only train carriages n the media at the minute and in this women's safety has to be the only argument. But in other areas it is for basically Muslim women. Of course as part of our community they have a right to use swimming pools, gyms etc but some thought must be put in to it and anyone objecting shouldn't be assumed to be a bigot. A mate uses the Bolton One gym and an area is curtained off for women only use in peak hours but the issue is this takes out a range of equipment so he can't train back or legs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Unless he's referring to the rejigged gym during renovations, during which time I haven't been, I'm calling bollocks on that one. I used the same gym and there's no piece of equipment in the 'ladies' section that doesn't have an equivalent in the main area, oh aye, there is one, the shitty sit down arm cycle thing...I'll also give him that the lat/row machine is constantly being broke by incompetent galoots in the main and the only alternative is in the ladies...He might prefer the machines in the ladies, but there are equivalents elsewhere imo. I've popped my head in a few times during female sessions, on accident of course, and there's usually the same ratio of white British/European girls/women to let's say 'other' as there is in the rest of the gym. As an aside, Bolton One does have a fair share of 'others' but they by and large are a friendly and sociable lot (cue 'Terror cell uncovered in Jason Kenny'...). It's a fairly good place to train and I'd probably rejoin when my life's more settled and the fee wouldn't be a monthly waste... To contrast, I wouldn't train for free at Pegleg's dump down Burnden.

Youri McAnespie Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) To relate a (shite) anecdote on the same theme - one time, after being in the gym, went down the pool at the same place (a Sunday) - it was a 'men only' session (hello sailor!) It was solely attended by south asian men/lads and then mesen, until a rather portly shaven headed white bloke entered the fray, looked like he was fresh from an FLA march and hadn't been tert Baths since he was kicked into High Street plunge with primary school. Anyhow, he was brazenly carrying a Union Jack beachtowel - Bolty would've been proud. Perhaps reading too much into it on my part, as he could well have been motivated purely by the thought of a dip, I imagined him thinking all the other users would leap out of the pool as if it had turned into acid when he bellyflopped in... That said, I kind of agreed with the sentiment, if he was motivated by shattering exclusivity. I don't reckon' men or women only sessions at facilities should be a cover for an ad-hoc introduction of 'reverse apartheid/sectarianism' (shit phrase but can't think of another) regarding access.

embankment Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 So if these twats get their way and topple Nelsons column down what are they going to do about his truly awe inspiring fucking amazing tomb under St Pauls cathedral It makes his statue look completely insignificant For years it has wound me up no end , every time I wander across Trafalgar Square , the amount of people climbing all over the lions. Yes I understand some rug rats , may find their way up there . But the adults want taking out by a sharp shooter perched up on the National Gallery.None of them show the slightest bit of respect for our glorious history.

Some months back I 'dressed too young' in my 501's, Fred Perry and Gazelles. Now it's a 60's time warp. FFS. Were you once a woman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i have just read about an 88year old pensioner dragged from her bed and savagly beaten. But its all ok because Andy Burnham and numerous police officers can do the YMCA.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 28, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2017 Agree with the general sentiments, but no problem with a little "community" policing. Hope they're not on double time for doing it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
