Getting a smile and a nod on the tram from a skinny little twink, for my “Feed all tyrants to the land” T-shirt was the kind of validation I didn’t know I needed

The recent Spotify debacle had me craving a little bald head.

Worth sending to Beckett?

The card looks pretty clean to me but I’m a rookie when it comes to pre-grading. Beckett is my closest option (Europe) so would be my preference.

I don’t think a black label is achievable because of front centering, but is a 10 possible?

Happy to hear some good opinions.

Dutch gym etiquette I’m confused about

I’ve been going to my local gym for a while but I’m quite confused about what seems to be a cultural difference.

Asking someone to spot you seems to be a bit of a faux-pas here? Or at least at my local gym. FWIW spotting is when someone makes sure you don’t hurt yourself when lifting heavy weights - they can help you put the weights back safely if you are struggling.

I’ve asked both trainers and gym goers to spot me on bench press on a few occasions, and besides being blankly refused 5 out of 7 times, even a trainer told me I should pay for personal sessions for that kind of service.

I’ve never encountered this kind of resistance to something that for me is a very normal and sociable thing to do in the gym. I’m wondering whether it’s my gym in isolation, or whether this is just not normal here?
