What the fucking fuckitty fuck? Really? Have these evil cretins finally jumped the shark? And before you sit back and relax in the little warm fuzzy glow of realisation that this is the other side of the Atlantic – what starts out there has a knack of oozing across the water. Don’t think that some puritanical health fascist hasn’t thought about doing it here either. And if they hadn’t had the idea, they will now. I have never belonged to a gym and never will. Nor will I submit to paying fines for my choice. H/T Chris Snowdon.

That’s where the smoking ban started. And PC. And token quotas. And feminism.
I could go on…
How old do you have to be to drink there?
21. That is in most states. Some turn a blind eye to under-age drinking in the home.
19 North of the 49th parallel in BC and it’s 18 in Alberta, Quebec and Manitoba, with Manitoba allowing drinking under parental supervision from age 16 in a public place. Also Alberta, if at a private residence.
21 is the legal age throughout mainland USA, but 31 states have similar family member and/or location exceptions to Alberta & Manitoba for ‘underage’ drinkers.
The more these idiots come out with ever more idiotic ideas the sooner they’ll p*ss everyone off. Just like the global warbling lot got more and more strident and now everyone has told them to p*ss off.
By the way, thinking about bikes, at the tender age of 63 I’ve just found a downside – bad hips, or is it just me? I tried to climb up the scaffolding round our house with the builder to check his prognosis (to spend more of my money) and ended up shuffling up the ladders. I can only think it’s all those cold days and nakeds. 🙁
I get creaky hips from time to time and my bikes have had fairings for the past twenty-odd years. I think it’s more to do with anno domini than bikes per se.
I’ve never belonged a Gym either but while I was in my twenties and thirties I was extremely fit. I did karate and lots of cycling and swimming. I did all this because I enjoyed it, not to pacify some health facist. Now that I’m in my fifties, I don’t consider it to be healthy to do more than gentle exercise, so joining a gym would be a bad idea as I see it.
I don’t want to think about what my knees look like after playing Aussie Rules in my twenties and thirties. I’m still in good shape though and would happily arm wrestle any twunt from TPTB who wants it. If I lose, fine, I’ll pump more iron.
John Roberts, for example. Mind you, he looks healthy enough.
But would he expect a headbutt halfway through?

Yes, a rherotical question

Erm – “feminism” started with women being deprived of the vote (1832) & being denied property rights.
Stop writing cockwaffle?
This idea seems to come from the same place as demands to deny NHS treatment to people who drink too much or are fat. One might almost think it was scaremongering got up by the opponents of “socialised medicine”.
