Gay Abandon
'Why are there so few men doing Pilates' I enquired at large in my class this morning. 'Not few actually. None apart from you' said the teacher.'I have tried to get males along but to no avail' 'Its a Border's thing said a fellow torturee. All this stretching stuff is a bit, er, effeminate as far as Berwickshire males are concerned. Weight lifting fine, Aerobics, ok but Pilates. No.
'Like owning a Whippet. Perhaps?' I thought. Don't see many of those around these parts. Rescue Greyhounds coming out of your ears. But Whippets, nary a one.
'Perhaps' someone suggested to our instructor, 'If you advertised your classes as thought not suitable for Gay men, you might get some male applicants?'
There's a thought
The image is of a Whippet. According to its caption on flickr "It literally pranced its way around the park." "merrily" apparently

Comments:
I have not been able to find out what Pilates is - evidently not the after-effects of sitting on cold stone. Would it help my sore shoulder from being hunched over the library computer reporting my line fault to BT - they won't repair it until next Tuesday. I tried to get calls diverted to my mobile but the site couldn't do that because it is "experiencing technical problems". Waaaaaagh.I then tried to post this message but misread the wobbly writing. Dounle waaaagh.
