It’s interesting, And I just thought of this.

While the Rum Dum from Brum, or Brum Dum from Rum is arguably the greatest living troll ever, and we’ve gotten into most, or somewhat nearing it, his antics (including getting cited in China for tossing “beer bottling” from 11th floor balconies when trashed, which was pretty much always from what I saw), we haven’t got into two things.

One, a recent email from a great customer – another great customer – who called him , and rather aptly so the “Dumpster from Brum“.

To that I’d add perpetully overflowing …

We were discussing lack of dumpsters in India (India for one is one of those nations where the capital and most big cities don’t have dumpsters. Its still “go with the guy on the pushcart and wait for him to show up”, if he doesn’t your trash “sits” and thats that).

(Customer is from South Africa, and the second last copy of Fast and Furious Fitness  – The Collector’s Edition finally reached him).

We’ll get into his review later (I asked him to leave it via the system).

But Humpty from Brum to me will be remembered for one more thing – and the “Keeping it Real in China” group knows this!

That being, the infamous washing machine

No matter where the Bozo went, no matter which apartment he got kicke dout of, no matter which seedy hotel he showed up at, ONE thing followed him faithfully like Mary’s little lamb.

The “non functional” washing machine.

Bozo used to go on drunken rants in the group for DAYS on end about it – so much so that every time he moved into a new place, we’d chuckle.

“Thats good, Glyn, but what about the washing machine”.

“What price the laundry?”

Truly, the washing machine would “arouse the BEast” like nothing else, not even Butts.

And he’d go on LONG Baijiu fueled rants over it!

Oddly enough, washing machines used to be a bone of contention for me too until I adopted my “scorched earth” policy of NEVER move into an apartment unless EVERYTHING is done FIRST before I hand a penny over in deposits.

I remember a particularly irritating one right smack during Chinese New Year that just wouldn’t dry (in 2015), so it gave me a good Gorilla Grip workout if nothing else wringing those clothes out (amazingly enough, when I bitched at the rental agent, he was like “so what! Just do it by hand!”

….

…..)

Then in 2018, of course, my own washing machine failed again, and I did literally wring clothes out by hand.

In 2010, I remember being stuck with a POS semi automatic machine of all things!

Ugh.

But anyway, there is a parallel between this pestilence (much like Glyn himself, though he seems to be becalmed for now) and the injuries that seemingly follow and plague the JIm Shim worshippers.

Try as you might, you’ll be hard pressed to not find creaky shoulders, achy backs, wonky knees and such (weak wrists) amongst most people that do the pump, curl puff and buff routines in the Jim.

And no matter where they go, where they may end up, where they may be living, whatever fancy Jim they may be training at, those injuries follow them.

And linger.

Like an angel on their shoulders reminding them to train … RIGHT.

And in your case, of course, that angel takes the place of this email.

Heed its advice, my friend, before it’s too late and you’re “stuck with a problem forever”.

Get on the train NOW.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
