SHADES OF CALIFORNIA WOW AS TRUE FITNESS TAKES A BOW BANGKOK — Dozens of gym members showed up ready to work out Thursday at the sole remaining True Fitness fitness center only to find out it was closing without notice. Chaos and threats of legal action erupted after the paid gym members were greeted by a small handwritten sign reading: “True Fitness today is the last day” when they arrived to the branch at Exchange Tower near Asok intersection. Some members, such as those who had just paid to open or extend five-year memberships, vowed to lawyer up Friday at the Lawyers Council of Thailand after they were denied refunds. www.khaosodenglish.com/news/business/2017/06/09/shades-california-wow-true-fitness-takes-bow/ |

Bastardos ! They probably knew in advance the place was closing but kept taking in membership fees in "good faith". Hope the people who paid up are refunded, but I doubt it will happen.

These gyms seem to pull this scam quite a lot and then hide behind bankruptcy, meaning the owners will usually only punished lightly, if at all.
Still, there is some nice schadenfreude to come out of this, those gyms are usually full of tits.
One of the earliest examples of this scam was one of the funniest.
In the early 80s when Pat Roach was still a wrestler, he owned a scrap yard in Birmingham.
All petrol heads knew him, as back then we had to scavenge scrap yards to fix our motors, so you would occasionally bump into him in one of the yards.
When he became a recognised actor (in the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet series'), he then branched out into gym ownership by opening the 'Pat Roach Fitness Centre', catering to the tits and yuppies of Birmingham.
his gym unexpectedly closed one day and the members who turned up at the gym saw a notice saying that their memberships had all been transferred to 'Curves' gym (his rivals) and that they would honour their remaining membership period.
Problem was, Pat hadn't bothered to tell Curves this news.
If my memory serves me correctly, the gym did reopen at a later date.

PS how would you know? How would I know, because neither of us 2 are members, so we are outside looking in and we are not tits, are we? Besides, these tit gyms have all got big glass window fronts in high rent malls, so you can watch the tits strutting like peacocks, trying to look good and cool but really coming across as ...... ermm tits. |

Was he licking it, or just breathing heavy on it and fogging it up ?  |

On a very memorable day last December, Smokie managed to get a photograph of me licking the window of the Moonshine Pub in Soi 22 (there were quite a few glasses involved in this stunt).
Unfortunately, the picture cannot be posted on here, as I dont need it falling into a stalker's hands..
