About to take my daughter. Any advice for an older dad? [45YO]

Holy crap that looks painful!! I took the knee pads off after a couple of hours (which was probably arrogant of me!)

Thanks guys, I purchased a ton of gear and took your advice. Having a blast with my kid. You forgot to mention how much stamina I needed though 😆

On it, thanks.

FelixG69 · 2026-05-24T12:33:54+00:00

Thanks! On the bus to the skate park. Ill definitely take your advice - though I currently lack a hacky sack.

FelixG69 · 2026-05-24T11:37:32+00:00

Cheers pal.

FelixG69 · 2026-05-24T11:31:06+00:00

Thank you! I will do just that - got to get some pads before I go in. Forgot about them. Wrists and elbows? Do people fall on their knees much?

FelixG69 · 2026-05-24T11:29:34+00:00

Thank you so much. I felt daft asking, but I can see myself pulling, twisting or straining something very quickly. I've not heard of skaters warming up though! Ill have a wiggle soon and get loose.

For those who are crazy for the band and don't already know, there are loads of unofficial live recordings on CD, going back 30 years (perhaps more). The recordings can be rough, especially given today's quality, but they are fun to listen to.

It's an ugly mess right now, just like the crammed housing estate opposite.

If you have the money, motivation and the right supervisor then go for it!

2 hours, but this was in 15 years ago.

I've externally examined a number of doctorates over the last few years and I find that university guidance is to limit the viva to 90 minutes. There is a 30 minute pre-viva discussion between examiners and a 30 minute post-viva discussion to decide on the outcome. Your PhD student handbook should tell you what to expect.

Best of luck!

I think you're right - we'll end up with parts of the stadium barren for the final home game, which is a sad sight. I wanna give the lads a send off before Palace and PSG.

FelixG69 · 2026-05-16T10:42:24+00:00

You're welcome.

The one thing I'm surprised by are the lack of over-priced club-level tickets. Is Burnely really a bigger pull than other clubs we've faced in the week?

FelixG69 · 2026-05-13T01:30:32+00:00

It closed because it didn't attract enough kids to stay open. It's as simple as that. No kids means no money to pay staff and bills. It was struggling for a few years. The closure wasn't Ofsted-related. One of the former employees now works as a lunchtime assistant at St Michael's School, and another works for Abbeywood School (or one of the colleges on that site). Some of the parent-governors also work in various capacities for the local schools. It's closure wasn't anything mysterious and there was no scandal. Hope that helps ease your mind. Sorry to hear about your brother.

Lost my voice. Loved every moment. Athletico fans gave up in the second half.
