David Thorne – at it again
The man who bought you a picture of a spider has done it again. Invented or actual I still had a giggle. Enjoy.

Dear David
This is a friendly reminder to let you know your gym membership expired last week. Your membership is important to us and we would like to take this opportunity to show our appreciation by offering you a 20% discount on your membership renewal. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
All the best, Jeff Peters

Dear Jeff,
Thankyou for your friendly reminder and the kind offer to reduce my membership by twenty percent. I own a calculator but I could not work out how to do percentages on it so have estimated that I save around $372.10 off the normal price of $420.00 – Please confirm that this is correct and I will renew my membership immediately. Also, do I get a Fitness First sports bag with towel and drinking bottle included in the price? I own my own legwarmers and headband.
Regards, David.

Hello David
How did you come to that amount? Our half year membership fees are actually $460 but with the 20% discount as an existing member your renewing membership fee would be only $368 for the six months saving you almost $100 off the normal price. We are not Fitness First so do not have those bags.
Cheers, Jeff

Free shipping with what? The $368 covers your membership fees for six months.

Dear Jeff
By the power of Greyskull that is a lot of money but I admit to being in desperate need of increasing my body strength. My ten year old child often turns the taps off in the bathroom very tightly and I have to go several days without washing. I feel bad constantly having to ask the lady from next door to come over and loosen them for me, what with her arthritis and limited wheelchair access to my apartment. To be honest, I originally joined your gym with full intentions of attending every few days but after waiting in vain for someone to offer me steroids, I began to suspect this was not going to happen and the realisation that I may have to exercise instead was, quite frankly, horrifying. My aversion to work, along with the fact one of your employees, Justin, was rather rude, telling me to ‘lift this’, ”push that’ dulled my initial enthusiasm of becoming muscular and I stopped attending.
Regards, David.

Hello David
Not sure how to take your email, nobody here would offer you steroids, it is illegal and none of our staff would do this. Justin is one of our most experienced trainers and if you found him rude while he was trying to be helpful and just doing his job then there are plenty of other gyms you could look at joining instead.

Dear Jeff
Yes, I have noticed that there are many gyms in my area. I assume the low qualification requirements of fitness trainers means that there is an over supply of these buffed but essentially otherwise purposeless professionals. I knew a guy in high school who couldn’t talk very well and collected sticks, he used to call the teacher ‘mum’ and during recess we would give him money to dance. Then sell him sticks to get our money back. He went on to become a fitness instructor so I view gyms as kind of like those factories that provide a community service by employing people with down syndrome to lick stamps and pack boxes. Except with more Spandex obviously.
Regards, David.

Dear Jeff
I was, at first, quite surprised at your response; one minute you are inviting me to renew my membership and asking me for money, the next insulting me. After doing a little research however, I have learnt that mood swings are an expected side effect of steroid abuse. As another side effect is a reduction in the size of your p#$%, this gives you understandable cause to be an angry person. I have also learnt that Spandex contains carcinogenic properties so this does not bode well for yourself and your shiny friends. If I woke up one morning and my p#$% was a quarter of the size I would probably take my anger out on those around me as well. There are probably support groups or websites that could help you manage your problem more effectively and picture based books available on the subject for people with limited reading skills. When I am angry I like to Listen to music by Linkin Park. The added angst and desire to cut myself works similarly to the way firefighters fight forest fires by burning off sections, effectively canceling each other out and I find myself at peace. I understand that you guys usually listen to Pet Shop Boys or Frankie Goes to Hollywood so this may be worth a try.
Regards, David.

Is David Thorne the Skunk’s new alias?
David Thorne is a designer from Australia but he should be a writer as his stuff on http://www.27bslash6.com is hilarious and often genius.
Hi Stacy. What’s your email address?

Aloha,
Getting a bit lamo
Hi Guys.
Dear Scabies, I am not a homo!
Stacy, thanks for dropping me an email, but I just thought I would notify you in public that I am happily married. Sorry to disappoint.
LOL at the david thorne web site. Especially love the born on 13 feb 1972. David Ray Thorne aka David Tojo Waters aka David Roy Gould. Born 13 Feb 1968. Oldest of 3 kids. Please ask on his post what his real age is and what other offences he is accused of.
David Thorne’s website is shit. Could rite better stuff in my sleep.
Whatever. Well I hope you can spell better in your sleep.
Iamasmartman, you’re definitely a homo.
I knew David Gould when he was a teenager, and the information Chris posted is indeed true. A bit sad that he lied about his age.. a bit sad that after all this time, he’s still basically just being a naughty boy and annoying people too.. There is some piss-funny stuff on his site though, I’ll give him that
I ordered his book from his website in July and I am still waiting. It appears many others are in the same situation (http://www.facebook.com/pages/27b6-David-Thornes-Book-scam/150215228347632). He has stolen our money and does not reply to any emails. Be careful before parting with your money for anything on his site. Buyer beware.
Thankyou for the feedback Peter, it is genuinely appreciated. You are doing a solid & selfless community service by sharing your negative experience. I have a very similar attitude to you in that I like to help others. I run notasmartman.com & I will pass it on to my followers here.
Christopher Gould is obsessively jealous of his successful half brother David Thorne.
The Christopher Gould posting above is the creepy fat bald guy David Thorne wrote about. The Christopher Gould who is obsessively jealous of his successful half brother David Thorne.
SIMPLY AMAZING! David your a bloody legend mate
Oh!! Hilarious!!!!!!
It was well documented about the problem David Thorne had with the first small publishing company he used for his book. He left them and went with a more reliable publishing company, and since has had no problems. He also publicly apologised for the problems that were caused, although I have no idea what happened with compensation and such. I ordered his book as well as quite a lot of other merchandise which all arrived safely and loved it all. I am intending on buying his second edition as it includes more stories! David Thorne is a genius!
