In Victoria we were fortunate to get a 1/2 page picture of him in his wetsuit on the front page of our newspaper - what a thrill!!!!

Whats odd is I googled for that pic for the sake of the UK readers, and I gave up...couldnt find it. Maybe someone will oblige? Has it been wiped from the records...like orwellian doublespeak!

I think I prefered the wetsuit image to the tank top. Whats that all about? Thankfully few metrosexuals in the boonies.

Am getting worried of you thinking of me in my shorts :scared: I was just saying, that I don't wear wetsuits, am proud of my body, nothing to hide, hours spent in the gym, and something to show for it ;)

Here is your stockwell day here, chicks seem to dig him:

Hmmmmm.....now why would someone say that, is it because they are not exactly a fat bu**er, but they are close to it? :D Am working on that link guv, some guys are pointing to the link somewhere.

That was to show people elsewhere, who we are talking about, that's all :rolleyes:

I did a search for "Stockwell Day wetsuit" and found a few references, but no pictures. I don't know whether I should feel grateful or disappointed. Perhaps a bit of each.

A bit of boat son. I would have thought that sort of thing was common in your Kent postcode area :D

Well, since it's so popular....I will try to see if it's still available on the internet through our local paper.....no promises though....

Erm, NO

When I was a student I had nothing better to do than keep fit, play sports etc, was a Uni first team player for four years out of seven, not bad out of 20000 students when you think about it, got club colours etc, represented my county at every age level. You could say I was pretty fit then. Never bought into the whole image obsession though, its just stupid to spend your life in a gym trying to keep buff. Youll be old and dead a long time, so I am not going to waste any time at the gym sweating on a stairmaster so someone I dont know or give a shit about can say "Nice Abs". Ive got better things to do.

God knows why I waste so much time here "discussing" things with the likes of you either now I think about it. Back on the ignore list you go, you never have anything usefull to add anyway.

Bye

Not all Lakes in Alberta "suck" I have a cabin on pidgeon lake its a clean and quite large lake, some lovely cabins (houses) mine is an old fashioned log cabin and thats the way I like it but some of them are nicer than houses you would see in town.

Just your opinion by the way, and like you said, why should I bother with what you think of my opinion? All you do on here, is come down heavily on newcomers, telling them where to go and all that, keep your authoritative behaviour for your abode, and what was that all about, bringing me into your sling match with someone else? !

It will be a pleasure to be on your ignore list, but it won't take you long to take a peek as usual, back to the buggers then :rolleyes: Like the guy said, you seem to think you have some kind of veto power on here, get a grip dude.

You took the gym thing too far, and it was you that had a dig at me, about the image of me in a wetsuit, what did that have to do with a simple question I asked you about how much they charge to launch a seadoo round your way?
