New rules for gyms

-

THE nations were discombobu­lated to see their overall leader, Boris the Builder, doing press-ups this week.

Mr Johnson’s idea was to prove he wasn’t ailing, post-covid, but was “as fit as a butcher’s dog”. Wot, he’s living off offal and scrag-ends? No wonder he looks ill.

Meanwhile, the village gym hereabouts is planning to re-open on August 10, using a booking system and restrictin­g numbers.

It would be better if they restricted young men. Everybody will have encountere­d specimens from that worst of all demographi­cs breenging aboot the supermarke­t, as if to say: “Look at me, I’m right hard. No’ feart o’ a wee virus.”

This is incorrect. You are a hormonally saturated pillock who, even in normal times, shouldn’t be allowed to vote, drive or drink. Under the New Normal, similar restrictio­ns should apply at the gym.

Baldies should also be banned. They’re always grunting, sweating profusely, and hogging the same machine for ages because they’re too bovine to feel boredom.
