I’ve broken bones and currently have an awesome steak sized bruise (I think I popped it again) on my left side). Insomnia can go suck one That’s severe what have the doctors done to try and help you.

I had a friend who got on it and it saved his life. He was finally able to sleep. Ambian 12.5 didn’t work for more a couple of nights before my head adjusted. Going back the doctors this week to see what else can be done. 13 hours ago, Palfy said: That’s severe what have the doctors done to try and help you. See above mate.

Two daughter's have come down today and have taken her indoors out for a shop and some lunch. Nice and peaceful here! Palfy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Eating a bag of these... https://www.snafflingpig.co.uk/collections/crackling/products/mighty-colmans-mustard-pork-crackling-packets ...only discovered them a few weeks back but am now buying in bulk; totally addictive. Takes something special to get my taste buds to kick in but these do it in spades, and the powder left when the bag is "finished" blows your head to bits. Lovely.

The problem with biking is that you are relying on everyone else on the road to keep you safe. You have only got to look at the quality of some of the driving! When my eldest son was in his teens he was desperate for a motorbike. He used to get all the magazines. I wouldn't let him have one. He's 60 this year and admits it was a good decision.

He's 60 this year and admits it was a good decision. Not so imo, though obviously you're more vulnerable. I always rode on the basis that everyone else on the road was out to kill me, when I was younger and when I bought a new one a few years back, and that kept me safe. I had two extremely minor tumbles in 12/15 years on the road in total (one of them was my fault and didn't involve any other road user/pedestrian). I'm 60 this year as well and still here to tell the tale; got my first bike three days after my 17th and (no compulsory training back then) was immediately hammering down the road at 80mph. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I’m still a fair weather biker only started up again a couple of years ago, before that I stopped aged 18 and 40 years later had a midlife crisis and got going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck yeah, screw freezing your arse off in the wind and rain. Second bike I bought after my initial pocket rocket was a Honda Superdream CB250 and I bought it second hand from a guy on a farm about twenty miles from home....but it was in early January and I rode it home through snow and ice; plus I'd made the daft mistake of not taking my gear with me as it was just a "viewing" so I wasn't expecting to do a deal on the spot. Didn't even have any gloves! The pain of that ride is still with me but I loved it in the end.

Palfy Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Cleaned mine and wife’s motors today and did half hour of my online Spanish course, into week 3 of my lockdown and I’m starting to run out of things to do. The mrs wants my to do some decorating which I detest, managed to convince her I won’t be able to get the paint so got out of that one. Face timing the kids and grandchildren later so that’s something to look forward to. What are people who are stuck at home doing to pass the time away, and no one say decorating.

Screw decorating, hate it. Today I've drunk too much so I need to put myself to bed; wife retired four hours ago and will probably be up around 3:00am and then go back to bed around the time I get up. Very strange times.

Palfy Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Sat in the garden with a few enjoying the sun the birds singing the dog at laying my feet, thinking I could quite easily get use to this, until the tranquillity of it is broken by my missus wanting to know when I plan cleaning the garage out, they hate to see you enjoying yourself it’s like there mission in life is to keep you on your toes.

Our garden, front and back, is getting out of hand; I just don't have the energy or strength to do it anymore. My right shoulder, which was damaged and weakened by my surgery six and a half years ago, just gets worse over time. So today I've bitten the bullet and contacted a local gardener (they're apparently still allowed to work) and he's going to come out and give me a quote. Daughter's partner would normally be first choice but he doesn't drive and obviously I can't go and collect him. Never mind, the money I've saved by not having to fill the car up with diesel for two months will probably cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re about 1.36CHF instead of 1.80 and I think we’ve filled the tank once in 10 weeks? A rough saving of 500chfs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
