Exercised

Jobbing radio host Stephen Nolan, heard on both Radio Ulster and Radio Five Live, this week mused on-air about a new BBC Belfast fad.

"Pilates. I don't even know what pilates are. It is the new BBC thing now, they are all running around impressing each other. They used to say 'I am going for a cup of coffee' now they are saying 'I am going to pilates'.

"That BBC Northern Ireland Newsroom is full of 'I am going to pilates... I am sorry, I cannot do that shift tomorrow, I am going to pilates'.

"You think to yourself, what are you talking about? What are pilates? I don't even know what pilates is and the BBC is now full of pilate goers."
