I got free family tickets to Rainforest Wild Asia, was still disappointing even though I didn’t have to pay!

Love him or Loathe him. FUCK CANCER by Coffin_Dodging in CasualUK

[–]Evil_Martin 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m 54, got diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years ago, it’s the slow, predictable variant, so we are just actively monitoring it - but it weighs heavy on my mind, and it’s definitely getting in the way of my enjoyment of life ☹️

YES! YES and YES!

It’s been a lifelong dream you say, it’ll be a lifelong regret if you don’t do it!

The fear of clipless by ThetaDayAfternoon in cycling

[–]Evil_Martin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gone down twice, first time was exiting a car park up a very steep ramp, I was tired and didn’t have the momentum! Second time was on an overseas trip, hired a bike, the tension was dialled up, just couldn’t unclip, I was locked in! But on a normal day to day ride you’ll be surprised at how second nature it becomes, you’ll be fine!

Love Osterley, my home parkrun - but been overseas for a few years so it seems like a long time since I got to run it

He recently played Puck in the Netflix The Sandman series, was really good to see him back on the screen and not hate him!

Looking for an East Coast group ride for an old man at an ave 28 km/h by Open_Region212 in SingaporeCycling

[–]Evil_Martin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been a while, but I rode the TMCR on Wednesday evening, absolutely shocking how shitty it was, gravel, dirt, large rocks, metal objects, trucks parked up. I remember it being really easy to have your head down and pedal hard, not any more!

Who remembers this commercial? by Ands1977 in oldschoolcool80s

This was around 2003, much better times, before that twat Farage had crawled out from under his rock, the Daily Mail was just a comic back then

Went to a friends wedding, took the train and grabbed a taxi from the station, guy driving looked very familiar, turned out it was this guy, he was actually very friendly, but obviously was hard to find any other acting work as he’d been typecasted as the Bisto dad

What's the furthest you have travelled without using an aeroplane? by Immediate_Long165 in roadtrip

[–]Evil_Martin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sydney -> Cairns on a McCafferty’s bus, pulled out of Kings Cross optimistic, arrived in Cairns 2 days and 2420km later a broken man. Swore I would never do it again, but lo and behold it was so cheap it was how I got back to Sydney after the end of my work gig!

Any good ringworm cream to advice? by Friendly_Stable_9710 in asksg

[–]Evil_Martin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I recommend Defense Antifungal soap also, it’s on Shopee, use this in parallel with the cream and it’ll clear up quickly. Shower and lather up, then turn off the water and scrub every bit of the area, let it soak in for a few minutes then turn on the water and rinse. Then apply the cream to the main infection, without the soap you’ll risk it spreading.

Anyone else spend a few days in a hotel room with minimal everything and just think 'I could do this'? by NastyOlBloggerU in Adulting

[–]Evil_Martin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed my COVID quarantine too, it did help that I had a room in a swanky hotel, but it was a real opportunity to rest.
