The Bob Shop
From humble toilet paper orientation debates to a real-life Spartan workout that left me with surprisingly intact feet, this week’s “That’s a Free Bee” is one for the scrapbook. I take you on a nostalgic trip to the “Bob Shop,” where toilet rolls came in singles and video rentals never rotated stock.
Then it’s onto Tang Soo Do—my triumphant/almost-collapse return to class, where “beginner’s lesson” somehow turned into 300 kicks, 300 exercises, and my new personal vendetta against burpees.
Public transport also gets its turn in the spotlight with a week of replacement buses, including the most luxurious coach I’ve ever boarded and, the next day, possibly the most unhinged driver Manchester has ever produced. (Yes, people were literally jumping off a moving bus.)
Finally, we wrap up with a Dungeons & Dragons session where Toby ignores every clue, kicks open a booby-trapped door, and learns the hard way what a natural 1 means—earning Seraphina’s in-character declaration that I’m an “✱✱✱✱✱✱✱*.” Can’t even be mad at that.
