Surely this is a niche requirement and nothing to do with general fitness.

Whilst I am sure that there *is* a specialist market for such training, the idea that it is a better alternative for general fitness over cycling 10 miles a day has to be nonsense.

Iris recognition certainly requires no glasses and the wind in the right direction. Bit of a disaster although they won't admit it.

Basically it means that a larger percentage of the purchase prices goes direct to the government, or in this case a particular government instead of some of it coming in via the backdoor as CT on profitable companies.

So, according to you, when I was in cardiac rehabilitation, all the physiotherapists really needed to do was to put us all on the exercise bikes, not give us a regime of using different equipment.

Or when I was in my 30's, BMW dealers selling to anyone other than corporate customers.

The website is much like the shop, I go in to look at the s/h stock from time to time, always amazed they are still there.

The way of too many businesses these days. They start of a perfectly reasonable small busines, then one day start expanding rapidly, on borrowed money, which means opening more stores to keep up the cash flow to pay the debt, until the music stops...

It seems nobody wants to actually provide real goods, services, and expertise, rather they created an illusory money-machine, to be sold on to a bigger fool

Women don't tend to go into betting shops but there's a huge market there.

One 'surly human in UK' tried to tell me to stand facing him. I was in no hurry to oblige as I knew my bags would take some time to come.

I see that they since redesigned the layout so that you would do this more naturally.

Getting through the machines at Gatwick with my new passport is a different challenge. Sometimes there is a helpful human who tells you what to do.

Ah well, all rules are broken at Napoli. How much were you ripped off for on the street? Most people seem to lose wallet, camera and even the clothes off their back.

When I came back from a visit to Napoli all of my (Italian) work colleagues where surprised that I came back with everything that I went with.
