Nobody likes us, we don't care!
I don't need to imagine it - I've seen it! There were a couple of unstable larger people on the ice when I went - brave folks! Of course, you might not have fallen over, Mark - you might have been a natural! I was really proud that I managed 2 and ½ hours without a tumble (the wet-patch-on-pants look is hard to carry off at my age! LOL!), son proved to be a total natural on his first on-ice outing, but daughter got a very soggy backside and won't go back!
