I think you would have had to do that anyway:p I don't think in Pilates someone else does the excercise for you

Oh, I get it, sarcasm. It's been called the lowest form of wit, but hey, your into pilates, so I'm guessing you don't mind what others think about you:p

So what if it's the lowest form of wit, it's the easiest way of getting my point across

And yes, I can see that happening :P

Ah, well that's fair enough. How did you discover that pilates helped? Or do I want to know?

I was just wondering if NUIM has a musical society, i.e. a club that stages or has an interest in musicals.

Could someone PM me the information if there is one?.

I just had a quick look through the list in the handbook and I can't see anything. Although I may have missed it!
You could set one up though? I'd be interested in joining!

I'd love to start one if there isn't one already there.. but i'd know nothing about running it! xD

If there was enough people interested that would wanna help we could see what we could do.

Yeah I wouldn't have a clue about running it either. We could have a good look on Clubs and Socs day and see is there anything and then if not we could think about doing something about it.

Hope nobody minds if I drop a shameless plug for ultimate frisbee in here. A lot of fun, great for your fitness and as nice a bunch as you could hope to meet

Haha nice one! I might join. What exactly does the ultimate bit mean though?

TheDrog

the sport itself is actually just called ultimate (frisbee is trademarked and no longer supply the official discs), why its called ultimate I couldn't tell you, presumably its something to do with the fact that american high school students started it. the pitch is slightly shorter than a football pitch with 7 a side. The aim is to pass the disc into the oppositions endzone, similar to american football but technically no contact, doesn't always work that way but technically no contact. look us up we'll be around from next week throwing discs around

Oh! This will probably sound terribly stupid but I didn't realise that you actually played matches or whatever you call them... I guess I just never thought about it really. That actually sounds really fun! Do you need to be quite fit then?

And do you mean you'll just be around the campus playing frisbee, I mean ultimate?!
