I believe Kindred has begun counselling sessions with Mr Iron.

Not much good for clinical depression, but pretty good for ordinary human misery.

Was interstate for work recently and visited a gym. First thing I saw when I walked in was a guy doing rapid-fire bounce crunches on a swiss ball. He must have been doing them at a rate of 3 "crunches" per second. Zero resistance, plenty of momentum, and plenty of bouncy-wouncy stuff going on.

My young son would have asked me for $2 for a ride of the thing if he was with me, it looked like so much fun, lol. I wanted to video it.

I'm not used to the gym scene as I normally work out at home, but geez this was an eye opener. I couldn't figure out what he thought he was achieving.

Do you think my floor boards would stand up to a weight of 300kg on them? I dont own a shed so I can't stick stuff out there :P

brendon · 06-09-2010, 03:07 PM

just dont drop 300kg

Ok so i was thinking about my question and it occurs to me that there must be an Australian Standard for how much load a floor cant take because it is a safety issue. They have a standard in the USA but I cant find the one for Australia. If there are any carpenters what would the Australian standard number be?

I've seen this one a few times, too. These people I've found have usually been at the gym for some years doing this kind of thing, so they're not open to discussion about what they're doing, they'll neither give nor receive any information, they just stare ahead listening to their iPod.

So perhaps it must remain a mystery...

This has been bugging me for a while. How many brothers does Gareer have?

How many??

I hope you're not waiting for a punchline lol. I'm just saying he calls everyone brother.

Also, do you always answer a question with a question? I have a feeling about the type of response I'll get.

Lol, maybe he has a big family?
