Repository Pattern não precisa ser chato

UsersRepository.php

<?php

class UsersRepository
{
  public function getList($limit = 15, $offset = 0)
  {
    return mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` LIMIT {$offset} , {$limit}");
  }
}

$repo = new UsersRepository();
$page = (int) $_GET['page'];

$resource = $repo->getList(10, $page * 10);
