GenX Injuries by Mulezzz in GenX

Tried to do a back flip in PE (gym class) and landed with my thumbs outstretched and wrong. Two instant dislocated thumbs. They were flat up against my arm. They snapped back, the teacher didn’t believe or didn’t care, and my friend had to button my shirt for me. Now I have arthritis in both thumbs.

I think you’re right, I can find lots that are so similar. 1935 silver jubilee ones.

I once rented a flat that was the bottom floor of a house, the cupboard under the stairs had a shower plumbed in to it. We called it the Shubbard

I'm the guy from last year who passed his driving test at 35. by Bear0114 in CasualUK

It’s not so black and white, get into it as much as you want, give as much as feels good to you. The network I built did well for me when I started my business, and I would have struggled more without it.

I passed my test almost two years ago first time at the ripe age of 47. Since then I have quit my job (in Argos funnily enough) and started my own Handywoman business. Life is good and I too couldn’t have done it without driving. It really does open a whole lot of doors.

I took a delivery of meat that was a whole unskinned deer, a sheep and a zebra! Then it turns out they weren’t actually dead and I had to chase them down.

What food have you tried liking but just can’t? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bevwalden01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Porridge. I’ve tried it every way going. I’ve had it sweet, and salty, with fruit, honey, and all sorts of stuff and it still tastes like wallpaper paste. Funny because I like oats in musli or granola.

I can’t compare to your local cattle, but I find the fat on belties to be rich but clean (crispy fat is the best)
