Giant excercise balls
No - not those ones...

I went to a refurbished council gym for a year or so and it was pretty good - they had great equipment...

One of the things they had were these giant excercise balls - you know the ones - I was given guidance on how to use them and how to make best use for toning and all that - I was super-confident - it's a great big inflatable ball - how hard can it be?

Pretty hard, it turns out.

I decided to do some situps - not that complex you might think - Unfortunately I noticed an attractive girl that might be looking at me (well, she wasn't but we men have this "idiot" switch that we can turn on oh-so-oeasily).

Ok, ease on to the giant ball - do some situps and WHAT THE HELL?

I'm not sure how, but I'd rolled the ball too far and I'd rolled backwards as the ball rolled forwards and was dumped, unceremoniously in a shaking, giggling heap behind the ball.

I just lay there for a minute or so (you know, in that way that you think "If I lie here long enough noone will notice me and/or the earth will open up and swallow me whole") - and carried on giggling to myself as I realise that I've been a total goob.

Turns out the girl wasn't looking at me as she didn't even react - well, maybe her reaction was to not look at the idiot JTW lying in a crumpled heap giggling at his own ineptness at not even being able to do some bloody situps!

I have one of those!
They are fun, and provide an extra seat if you accidentally invite too many people round at once. I am very tempted to glue horns to it and turn it into a space hopper.
