All well and good if you start work at 8am. Some of us need our beauty
sleep more than others..

That's actually not a bad idea. There is a disabled toilet in our
building, which can be locked from the inside. I'll go check out a
camping place...

That's the mold. Maybe it's true what the Aussies say about Poms* washing
infrequently?

I believe aluminium chlorohydrate has been linked with increased risk of
breast cancer. (Don't get into correlation vs causality with me, I never
said Al was bad, I just said that it's marketed as being bad.) Redwin
aluminium-free deodorants contain a 3.5% zinc complex and witch hazel
extract.

Don't worry about aluminium, it's that dihydrogen monoxide you need to be
scared of! <www.dhmo.org>

I'm more worried about not getting enough bio-available diatomic oxygen
in my dihydrogen monoxide. ;-)

LOL.

One product which annoys and amuses me endlessly is the so-called
"organic water".

Maybe its so-called because it contains benzene, I don't know.

We found some organics in a packet of rice yesterday. Helen calls them
weevils.

Only by people trying to market so called "safer" alternatives.

Now that you've all scared the wits out of me, I will attend Friday's Lard@rse ride without deodorant. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Back on topic. Here is the e-mail I received from Fitness First at Indooroopilly in response to my e-mail enquiring about use of their showers.

Hi there,
Thank you for your email in regards to using our facilities unfortunately you would need to pay a casual visit to use these facilities which is $18.

Kind Regards

It should be noted that in my original e-mail I said that I would be happy to pay for use of their showers. For instance, I wouldn't mind paying $5 - $10 to use their showers on a Friday so I can do the Lard **** ride. But they want $18 for it. **** them. Royally. I hope their business goes downhill sooner rather than later.

When I first started riding there were no showers available at work (hooray that's no longer the case) so I joined up at FF. At the time Suzie was already a member so it cost me fifty bucks a month.

FF as a business truly sucks unless you're self motivated and know what you're doing. It's real easy to do junk hours in those gyms, witness the masses barely raising a sweat on recumbent cycles. Best thing Suzie did was ditch FF for a smaller, more personal gym where there's someone there who actually made her *work*.

Whoops, that's not accurate is it? As a business it's doing really well (I think).

Second stab, as a method of achieving real results FF truly sucks unless you're self motivated and know what you're doing.
