We are soooooooo proud that one of our regulars is going to the olympics and we will be following you, every lightfooted step of the way. we love you honey Barbara (Dan), Chook and all the boyz at the Pink HI James,

I can't belive you guys do "the 100"....it's a pilates move I have done many a time and wondered WHY?!?!? Now I feel better about it knowing elite athletes do it too (even the boys!).... In between my 100's back here, I'll be sure to have a Stein for you all....of course in an authentic 1L Stein glass (which I just happened to repossess from Oktoberfest about 10 years back) - you know you can count on me for that one!!!!

Give them heaps. Not sure about the core exercises being helpful for giving birth! Nothing and I mean nothing can prepare you for that. Watch out for the pork and sauerkraut, without beer it's not nearly as good. Maybe a few when it is all over will wash down well. Good one James
