  1. Jay, Who are you working for these days mate? Still at SL?
  2. Although the ferry trip is probably more popular going Helsinki to Riga or Talin. Booze is a lot cheaper in international waters and cheaper countries. Especially when Finland is expensive and their national sport is being an alcoholic 😁
  3. Joe, not seen Dopesick but I will check it out. Have you seen the HBO Documentary “Crime of the Century”. It is scandalous what the pharmaceutical industry has got away with over the years. Yet people dismiss the fact the wool might have been pulled over our eyes as to effectiveness of the COVID Vaccines.
  4. They moved them with Oxen.
  5. . There are a few people on here who splice. I used to but not so much anymore. If you have a iPhone there is an app by Samson for splicing. Linked to a lot of the video content they have on YouTube. There is a paper copy of it sold in a few arb suppliers. Sorry, but I don’t know if it available on Android. Have fun and prepare for some blisters.
  6. Fixed that for you.
  7. What is the notch Fusion? Edit: Don’t worry. Stiff tether with built in pulley.
  8. It is what it is, I guess. It changed the man I called my father. There were other contributing factors to his behaviour, such as the constant pain from the back injury and severe bitterness he had towards other life episodes from the past. Some of these things were real but some of them were blown out of proportion from his distorted sense of right and wrong due to the Tremadol. Did anyone see Frankie Boyles Tremadol Nights a few years back? That was a f’ed up show and that take on comedy was similar to the distortion I noticed in my fathers attitude.
  9. My dad had a Tremadol prescription for around 14 years after two prolapses in his back. I tried and tried to get him off them. He wasn’t having any of it. I told him he was addicted, to which we nearly came to blows over. He said he definitely wasn’t addicted. I asked what happened when he forgot to take his night pills? Answer, nothing, he would just lie awake all night sweating and tossing and turning. I just told him to look up the withdrawal symptoms from Opiates. Those pills contributed to so many problems in the relationship with my father. He was still taking them right up to his death. He was being treated for cancer and part of the treatment reviewed his other meds. The specialists couldn’t believe he was prescribed such a drug for so long. We raised this with the GP and he was in the process of reviewing everything when my father passed away. Tremadol distorted his sense of what is right and wrong. He would be very argumentative and irrational. It is a terribly effective drug for pain relief but also a terrible drug in other ways. I wish you all well.
  10. Heal up quick Darrin.
  11. Didn’t mean to ‘like’ that post mate. But take your time and heal well.
  12. Who da thunk it. You need a good understanding of the English language to work out a simple mathematical joke.
  13. I don't get it? Anyone care to explain to this dullard?
  14. That is a lot of “Her Majesty” Mugs sold on the Strand.
  15. FTR I did a lot of work during the rehab using the Red Cord System. Redcord® | America WWW.REDCORDAMERICA.COM La formación de Redcord Active® está fundamentada en principios neuromusculares, con publicaciones sobre los...
  16. You could not be further from the truth mate. Give it a rest and grow up.
  17. .
  18. I have had a few shoulder problems over the years. Snowboarding injuries and wear and tear from years of tree work. In 2019 ish I managed to completely dislocate the shoulder, stretched everything in the area but luckily nothing broken. Ended up with a trip to hospital to get relocated. However, I did damage to the rotary cuff in a couple of places. I was out of work for around 10 months. Due to the damage and incorrect physio, it set me back about 4 months. I eventually found a sports physio and a great chiro. The both were familiar with shoulder injuries and treated lots of pro climbers and handball players. Problem with shoulder injuries is what works for one person may not work for another. After a few consultations they realised that the problems root cause was the shoulder blade. I had torn the muscles in my back that stabilise the scapula. So I went back to basics. Concentration on correct placement of scapula during simple exercises and sets to work on the Rhomboid (I think that was the muscle). Once the scapula was correctly aligned the head of the humorous would sit correctly in the rotary cuff and then and only then did I start back on the band exercises to stabilise the joint. It took a while but I got back to full strength and train Muay Thai and Climbing most days. Good luck. with the rehab and the pain relief. I ditched the pain killers after the first week. Managed a lot with CBD oil and PMA. I wish you well with trying to ditch the tramadol. My dad was on them for over 14 years. They are not a nice drug.
  19. I do believe you have really missed the point. I am not angry at all mate, perplexed maybe, but not angry. I try not to get too worked up over anonymous people over the internet. I might have a different reaction with your posts if we were in the pub, but then again stuff said tongue in cheek often comes over differently in text. I think you are just a bit of a wind up merchant tbh. On that note, we should get back to the jokes.
  20. If you think that was an attack, are you serious? Please read it again. The post obviously went over your head. My point was just because someone else is doing it then it doesn't make it right for you to do it. In reference to you saying that Boris's misdemeanours were nothing in comparison to Burlesconi and Putin. I am not the one using a so called clever term calling others 'wankers' or was that a disguised attack?
  21. Get over yourself mate. I was having a light hearted jab at your political post and you come back with don’t turn it into a political thread. I could’t give a fuck about politics tbh. They are a joke. See them for what they are, jokers!
  22. That wasn’t the point was it? He had a party whilst the rest of the country faced fines and arrest if there were more than 2. People couldn’t visit loved ones or have a funeral to say good bye the family members. Plus many other restrictions. It has zero to do with his ability to do budgets and other political stuff.
  23. As my mam used to say, “doesn’t matter what others are doing… if they all jumped in front of a bus, would you?” The PM is a hypocrite, amongst many other things. The others may be worse but how has Burlesconi’s Whitby Kippers had an affect on your life?
  24. I also think they have gone in for large contracts and low balled it to win. Then try and build teams to meet the target without actually realising how much it takes to do the work correctly. Guys on-site have to meet rediculous target, they are at the lower end of the pay scale and skill level. Hence all the butchered trees you see.
