Now for a more exciting subject- why do they call windsurfers 'pole dancers'. This seemingly sexy term induces a vison of lissome young ladies contorting themselves gracefully and effortlessly on the Golden pole, and seems a far cry from the reality of the balding, paunchy, curmudgeonly and sadly grumpy middle aged men that my own windsurfing generation has become, as evidenced by the attitudes displayed in the reples to this post towards their brethren on the 'dark side'.
Hmm... Pole dancing must describe
my windsurfing generation - plenty of lissome young ladies gracefully contorting. And happy ones too!
Are the balding, paunchy, grumpy middle aged men you describe the ones in the front row buying over-priced beer so they can keep drooling over the lissome young ladies?
