  1. And yet still a good all over body exercise with levels of skill needed to be competitive.

  4. I've not been following the story as we're being gaslit by the folk in charge. We need a immediate reset button for this country, Europe or just open the seacocks and move out.!
    #I was gonna start a new thread; what're your heroes / influencers or non-fork tongued folk for 2025.
     
  5. You still could for 2026!

    It might be a very short thread?
     
  6. Had my hospital appointment, what a complete fuck around that was

    Arrived at 12:00 for a 12:20 appointment, at 12:15, nurse announces that there is a 30 minute delay, no problem i thinks, 25 minutes after my appointment time, my name gets called, oh, did nobody tell you, you need an xray today :mad:

    Was told that out patients xray room was not working, so, I had to go to main xray, queued to book in, got booked in, sat there nearly half an hour, was told i should be at out patients xray, I told him I was told to go to main, he said I could either go back to out patients or wait at main, but there may be a delay, the previous person he told to return to out patients then arrived back at main for her xrays

    A few minutes later, a nurse came along and shouted out some names, asked me my name, she checked the system, then took some of us back to out patients :triumph:

    Had xrays taken, nurse asked me to put my elbow in some specific positions, politely told her it wasn't happening :joy:

    Eventually got around to seeing the consultant, next appointment is in 3 weeks, physio starts on Friday

    On a couple of positive notes, the brace is now off, so I can start to try and move my elbow and wrist, and the other is, I can now get my jacket on properly :joy:

  9. Prompted by a different post about Fowlers Bristol parts dept by @comfysofa I looked at what they've got...

    I use this Silkoline 10W-40 oil in my R1200S Beemer and they've got 5litres for the 4l price (comparable with Opie 4litres) so I clicked & collected...

    Something a bit odd about Fowlers now is that they've gone all-out with their KTM presence. Clothing (including babies!), paddock/BBQ seats seats, bags, gimmicks and all the bikes.
     
  10. I'm hanging on until Summer for a purchase.
     
  11. ////////or it might be a very short career for me 4 what i'd post up on here.:D

  12. Commision must have increased!
     
  13. Sounds like you're getting there, you can put on your jacket by yourself -soon you will be able to tie your own shoe laces! Not too sure about turning down nurses who want you in a specific position though...

  14. These were almost half price in a sale so I went for it. They are just Engineer boots like I always used to wear for day to day riding, I got sick of race wellies that you can’t walk around in comfortably when you get off the bike.

  15. Congratulations; with one photograph you've managed to elicit something from Mrs GG that I haven't in 38 years... sympathy. She normally performs the role of "person taking the piss".

    She also sympathises with you over the X-rays, as someone who managed to break her humerus in 4 places.

    What's the secret? :thinkingface:

  20. Had this done on my other arm back in September...............I know it's a "heart attack survivor" tattoo but a "cardiac arrest tattoo" would have been boring as it'd have just been a straight line :joy:
