Weights and Maybe a Date — Gym Shenanigans in Patts innit

[Lewie London]

So I’m down the gym yesterday morn, yeah. Me usual twice-a-week shuffle on the treadmill, whether I need it or not lads, bit of token bicep curling to keep the bingo wings at bay. Not there to break records, nah, just keep the pipes in working order, know what I mean?

 

Anyway, I clock this bird across the way, strugglin’ with the lat pulldown like she’s tryin’ to launch a space rocket backwards. She’s leanin’ so far back she’s practically horizontal, legs kickin’ all about like she’s wrestlin’ an angry ghost. Thought she was gonna catapult herself straight through the bloody mirror, mates.

 

So I stroll over, all casual, give her the nod, and drop a quick tip on how not to snap her spine like a KitKat. She blushes, says thanks in that cute way Thai girls do when they know they’ve just made a total muppet of themselves. Then she asks if I could show her a couple more machines so she doesn’t end up in traction.

 

One thing leads to another, we’re movin’ around the gym floor together, me showin’ her how not to turn herself into a pretzel on the leg press, her laughing at me dumb jokes about gym bros who skip leg day. Turns out she’s a grad student here on a gap year from Chiang Mai, loves her durian smoothies, and hates cardio even more than I do, reckons burpees were invented by Satan himself. Can’t argue with that bit.

 

After an hour of muckin’ about, she says she’s starvin’ and asks if I fancy joinin’ her for lunch at the noodle gaff across the street. Next thing I know we’re sat there slurpin’ tom yum together, talkin’ about everything from Thai soap operas with more plot twists than a government cabinet reshuffle to how the gym mirrors make you look like a boiled prawn.

 

Before we part ways she flashes me her Line ID on a QR and I add her. Then she says we should train together again soon. Sweet one, but this is Pattaya, problem is you never know if you’re helpin’ a damsel in distress or starin’ down the barrel of your next cautionary tale.
 

What do you reckon? Give her a go?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say.

 

And a big raspberry to those naysayers who can't just leave the thumbs down alone. Sad, lonely little lives you must have  (and just WATCH how many of them out themselves on this post).

Why is there an em dash in every post by this member. Also why has the op never replied to any of the threads.

Maybe he/she/it does not feel like responding to nattering nabobs of negativity.

Because this person tells more lies then anyone in the history of this site.

Why should he reply? He is posting a piece of fiction. He knows it. We know it. The only ones who don't seem to be able to grasp that are the ones that need to bitch and moan daily.

Makes sense to me.

Aren't you even a little bit embarrassed?  'Fiction' IS all made up. That's why it's called 'fiction.'

That's funnier than many of the stories I read these days. Who is going to pay anyone to create these? I doubt AN gets any value from you reading Lewie's posts. What WE get is 3 minutes of pleasant reading, then a few days laughing at the complainers. AN doesn't get much from this at all.

[FolkGuitar]

Another 'Thanks!' to Lewie for yet another slice of Pattaya life. I didn't care for this one as much as the others. It was missing that little bit of drama so necessary to build a story's climax. That said, it was still a pleasant read over my morning cup of Keemun tea!

Thanks again, Lewie!  Please keep 'em coming!

Feeble minds are easily entertained I suppose. 

 

 

Carry  on.

What name was called please. He merely put a description ie feeble minds. 

There are plenty of other members who call others bad names and insult them.

Why not? You described her as funny and entertaining. Who knows where it's going to on a rainy day in Pattaya.❤️

Exactly !

 

Might not end up as a Charles & Diana fairytale romance ( oops, just remembered how that ended ! ) or even something from a Mills and Boon !

But romance, or lust, could blossom so I would say “ go for it !”.

 

In the worst case scenario it might lead to a 3 minute knee trembler behind the 7-11 dumpster  ….. but that’s okay also 👍

I'm asking why you feel it necessary to hurt other people's feelings?

And yet, you've clicked on each of his post threads several times.

If there is no need to reply, why do you do it?

Interesting comment.

Would you care to explain just how people are being dragged down to their (or did you mean 'your?') level of self-loathing?  'Loathing' connotes extreme disgust; a feeling of aversion, nausea, abhorrence, or detestation. Those of us who enjoy the posts don't feel that.  Is that what you feel when you read Lewie's posts?  Very interesting!  Even knowing it's fiction, you react that way?
Aren't you worried that it's happening to you as well, seeing that you post in every one of Lewie's threads?

Also interesting is the fact that you are unable to ignore his posts. I wonder why?
