ON A
BRIGHTER NOTE, EXCELLENT NEWS! PULLEYS!
I can
tell you're impressed! Indeed as we are in this modern age of Google
and global economies, market places etc it would be grossly old
fashioned to try the hardware shop - one of which still does exist
down a sleepy road in Hull, nay perish such thoughts, Google will
answer all my needs!
Indeed,
and lo, there were a staggering variety of pulleys, plastic,
galvanised, stainless steel and even some steel/brass constructions.
Unsurprisingly my preferred option was 'Outstandingly strong and
serviceable, but amazingly cheap'. This took some searching for but
eventually under 'Chinese Imports' I found gold dust (well, pulleys
actually).
I
could either purchase perfectly good pulleys at around 20p each, and
an absolute bargain price - minimum order 1000 units (!), or, I could
buy single items at approximately £3.50 each. I chose the latter!
Mike,
my favorite son, did the doings, clicked on - oh 'things' on the
computer screen, I gave him real money and I now await a package from
Hong Kong anytime
this or next month.
Mike
is well versed at this frankly amazing sort of purchasing, indeed
only last week we received a T Shirt on his behalf all the way from
the USA via Germany (as proved by various labels attached to the
packaging).
Yes,
I thought so too ... why via Germany?
Erm,
clueless I'm afraid, I blame the EEC myself, well politicians anyway.
Anyway
... what?
Oh
pulleys? Ah er, exercises! Persons who know me are aware that I am an
exercise freak. It seems that if you lift a weight via a pulley you
have 'constant tension' applied to the muscles via the rope - pulley
system thingy ... apparently, and this is good ... allegedly. I read
it somewhere on Google, so it must be true! Even better than that,
you can perform some seriously odd exercises from an amazing variety
of angles with a pulley ... what is there not to like?
Don't
answer that!
