One of our sons has had a Peloton for about 18 months, he bought it as a birthday present to himself. Unfortunately since he bought it he’s had operations on an ankle, a knee and an elbow, to clean out the joints after operations he had years ago when he was playing rugby. All this time he’s paid a monthly subscription to Peloton. He makes me so mad, I’m sure he could have cancelled it but he can’t be bothered. More money than sense, I’ve never been told how much per month it’s costing but I don’t need to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing like a Peloton product. They are bike and treadmill orientated. The Rock Stepper is about free dancing. Peloton are doing a great job by making exercise enjoyable though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,269 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Anyone watching the Olympics? I can't help feeling sorry for Japan investing all that money and no-one allowed to come and watch. There is always the TV or PPV/Streaming services The leader of the opposition has commandeered the TV and I have attempted to watch it but have now given up far too many adverts and talking heads and not enough sport. What is the coverage like in the UK? The stupid burghers of Brisbane have won the rights to bankrupt the city for the 2032 games. No one else was dumb enough to put in a bid. I hope that the experiences of this year finally puts an end to the "Limp Dick" games for once and all, it has become an obscene money grabbing exercise by those that build the white elephant stadiums and facilities, contract for the services, play mines bigger than yours for extravagent opening and closing ceremonies and leaves the host city in debt for a generation. We will not have paid off the covid debt by then. It is long past the time to get rid of the self appointed IOC. I wonder too how many medals will be tainted by drug use as the testing regime has been severley curtailed due to covid? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I can happily watch many sports on tv, but athletics - and Olympic things in general - just leave me bored. I’ve never been remotely interested in it and can’t understand the big fuss. I completely ignore the subject and don’t feel that I’m missing anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,404 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Watched Japan v France ladies judo, sorry, make that watched the ladies roll around the floor competition. There seems to be no sign of the skill level judo is suppose to have. After ten minutes switched off, no idea who won. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpha 176 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 The IOC is similar to FIFA. A money making racket, corrupt and run by embezzlers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
