fuzzrab Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Found out a few days ago that my friends husband has died of a heart attack, he was only 38. Kind of puts life in perspective as they just had a newborn. Based on this i have decided to exercise more and drink less. Anybody got any tips on how to start, the exercise that is. I am woefully unfit after many years of excess. EDIT: i should have posted that i am looking for options/ideas other than the gym. i have tried the gym on many ocassions and have been terribly bored with classes/machines after a few months.

fuzzrab Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks like a good win for Wigan, although Espinoza maybe should have been punished for a foul in the box. EDIT: interesting fact from the comentators (SP?) that Spurs haven't had a penalty at home in the league in 2 years. As i type this Bale scores a cracker. Any bets on him being at Spurs next season?

SRL88 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Swmming & cycling especially as you use a lot of muscles that you wouldn't usually. I find swimming more beneficial exercise wise, but cycling is nice if you want some peace, I find. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzrab Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have just been reading an article titled eight footballers say 'we are gay' but keep quiet in fear of fans[i/] in the Guardian. Basically the premise of the article is that some players have come out within the game, and been accepted for it, but not publicly as they fear the fans will use it against them when playing badly. Surely as a society we have moved on from such stupid attitudes ( i mean as a whole. obviously some idiots will always remain)? i realise that you will get some idiots use it against the players, in the same way race is used by idiots, but surely the vast majority of football fans would drown out the mindless idiots. Or am i just being naive? i'd like to think that if i was at a game and witnessed predujdical (SP?) behaviour that i would report it and react to it rather than staying quiet (as i have done in the past but not in this respect).

fmFutbolManager Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think you're being naive. I'm reliably informed that the away end at Brighton games will almost always break into a chant of "does your boyfriend know you're here". Most will chalk it up to friendly banter, but then how is homophobia any different to racial chants? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is up to the majority of fans to make it acceptable for gay players/fans to feel comfortable. I think the comment above sums it up pretty succinctly. The away fans at the Brighton games should be punished, I am pretty sure taking 3 points of for every proven prejudicial comment will have an effect, as should all prejudicial comments.

Playing devils advocate here but if it was a chant about a straight man and his missus that would be classed as banter and acceptable. Gay people are equals so shouldn't be exempt for that reason. They've lobbied for years to be classed as equals and have the same rights. So they shouldn't be treated any different imo as that then makes them different and causes a divide, something they don't want. And if you were to take 3 points for everything bad that is proven you'd have no clubs left. The Brighton fans will be no different to any other fans with what they chant about. To suggest or believe otherwise is being naive imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Oh do me a favour. That's like saying if black people want to be treated as equal, they should accept racial abuse as banter.

It's a shame you feel the 'banter' is okay as they want to be treated as equal...As far as I'm aware homophobic abuse is illegal, a hate crime is it not. How about read what I put instead of taking it out of context? Especially as it was aimed at the comment you reckon the Brighton fans chant, which btw isn't homophobic either. That's no different that saying 'does your wife know you're here. Anyone offended by that wants to actually try living in the real world and out of the little perfect world bubble they've created. Playing devils advocate here but if it was a chant about a straight man and his missus that would be classed as banter and acceptable. Gay people are equals so shouldn't be exempt for that reason Then you have to cut out the chants about straight people, its only fair. You can't have 1 rule for one set and then one rule for another. I bet you've participated in some offence chant while been at a game. If you say you never have then I wouldn't believe you tbh, everyone has at some stage. Now if the chants are actually malicious and personal attacks and is proper abuse then ofc its not alright. But that should be the case for all and not based on what colour or sexuality you are. Plus I find it a bit ironic that you are arguing against this behaviour yet used it above to try and get your point across And as for the last bit of your post, its the same law whether straight, gay etc Section 74 and Schedule 16 amend Part 3A of the Public Order Act 1986 to extend hate crime legislation to cover "hatred against a group of persons defined by reference to sexual orientation(whether towards persons of the same sex, the opposite sex or both)."

Also if im getting penalised for that, why isnt the female chef in work getting made to wear a hair net when her hair is quite loose, and customers are sending food back with a hair in it? I reckon if it doesn’t stipulate your appearance in your contract i don't see how they can sack you. On the female chef thing with no hair net then that is vile. I have worked in kitchens, both in OZ and UK, and was pretty sure a hair net was a basic requirement by law in both countries. If you are working somewhere where this is not enforced then i suggest looking for work elsewhere. The reason i say that is because if the owners/managers can't be bothered to enforce basic hygiene principles such as hair nets/hats then what must the inside of the fridge, freezer & kitchen look like?
