"Not impressed....."

I don't beleive it. Why didn't someone tell me!?

I went swimming last night, and finally managed to do 64 lengths, thinking this would be 1600m as each length is 25m.

I could do this easily at home, yet it's been a struggle here. I thought I was just becoming a fat git, eating too many pizzas and drinking too much beer. I was getting tired by about length 40.

However, after speaking to some people at work, I've just discovered the length of the pool is, in fact, 33.3m.

Yup, 3 lengths to 100m.

So, last night I swam 64 x 33.3m = 2131.2m.

So I'm not a fat like I thought I was. Which is a good thing I suppose.

But still, it peeed me off somewhat....

Ooh, yeah. So you're a 'beanpole' then? :-)

I apparently need to lose 20kg to be at my "ideal" weight.

Thing is, I don't think they take account of bone structure, which differs wildly from person to person. I really am very big-boned. (Sounds rude again - sorry.)

I don't know how tall I am (around 6ft I think), but I'm 12 stone spot on, weighed myself this morning.

:-) Only when somebody says "the last bit sounds rude"

As for my weight... 12 stone. Not big bones, not even small bones, simply no bones. Just skin. I think that the recommended weight for our height is nearer to you than me though.

Gawd, that last bit sounds rude!

I don't mind! Like Cartman says, "I'm not fat, I'm big boned!"

No, that's "Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"

Ah, I see what you mean.

Yes, but I had 3 feet surgically removed so I didn't stand out too much.

17st 5lb = 110kg for all you young 'uns!

I cycle to and from work every day, but I've still got a bit of a gut.

I weighed myself last weekend, for the first time in about five years. 17 stone 5 lb.

To put that in context, I'm 6ft 3in tall - I wouldn't call myself fat, as I'm not 'round' (you can see from the holiday photos on my web site), but I am alightly overweight.

Fortunately I'm not vain enough to go on some panic diet - I don't care what I weigh, as long as I don't *look* fat.

Hurst Pool? Never been there. Ah well.

Best place I`ve ever been to swim is about 200 meters from here. Bath uni pool is long course (50m) and top quality. At home I only train in a 25m pool, but it ain`t that bad.

In case you didn't know "cyclig" is a new sport I've just invented.

Check out www.cyclig.com.


I SO hope that's not a proper web adress....
