HAVE FUN!! BE HAPPY!! This is a ‘happy’ mega-post… but a rant, first!
What a pre-Christmas week this is turning out to be. We left our jobs in an empty holiday complex in Portugal that no-one could visit, returned to our native UK and then got locked down hard here… no gyms, clubs closed, “stay home” and “don’t meet with granny” messages from Drs Doom and Despair… probably, all these lockdowns are doing is prolonging the inevitable and stringing out the pain indefinitely. And a whole bunch of kids are missing out on developing their sports.
Still, it makes time to think about this site and the blog. It needs a bit of a shake-up: we started it to sell books (anyone remember??) and I am going to put up a new page about them to try and shift all the copies in my agent’s attic as special deals. The Younger Generation page is a bit of a mess so I shall stop adding to it and start a second page celebrating young lads who aspire to be fit and strong in a different format. It has also been attracting the wrong kind of comment (so please stop, you know who you are). Once again I am obliged to say that this site is not, and will not, be a porn or paedo site: we’re here to inspire guys of any age who want to improve their fitness, and to admire and celebrate those who do.
I also need to think of a better way of promoting updates in the pages via the blog without re-posting the same pictures in the blog posts – I did do that for ‘Gymnastics Week’ but it is not (to coin a phrase) “the new normal”! And, by the way, I do have enough pictures stacked up ready for another gymnastics week – just tell me what you prefer to see (gymacrobat@gmail.com).
All that said, onwards and upwards towards 2021. I shall not be posting anyone wearing a mask – ever – we don’t accept some strange “new normal” and just want the “old normal” back. Yes, there’ll be winter colds and flu, some people will get sick but, as a cheerful lady hotelier in Vienna told us when all this was brewing up back in the spring “You don’t want to die healthy, do you?” Her hotel is now in ‘hibernation’ until March.
Today’s pictures are of HAPPY guys! Enjoying their fitness and enjoying “hanging out”.
