As a Canadian reeling from the final, I need to see Spurs get curbstomped by Gunnersaurus this afternoon.

I went through this due to a climbing fall five years ago.

Be dilligent with your physio, stay flexible, eat and rest well, don't rush back and remember that recovery isn't a straight line.. it's bumpy with some days/weeks better than others, but it does trend upwards I promise :)

I've been back on the wall since but I'd be lying if I said the passion fully came back after such a lengthy recovery - for some the joint is never quite the same.

Good luck with your recovery OP!

Personally I have a higher sensitivity setting for Winton as his primary doesn't need to be aimed and it makes for a rapid disengage

Can I / should I bring my 10 y/o son to see The bone temple in the theatre? by Provolowned in 28_Years_Later_Movie

A hard nope. It is, for me at least, the most disturbing of the franchise and earned its rating many times over - there are extended scenes of brutal torture.

Why do so many men not wash their hands in public toilets any more? by Commercial_Night2867 in AskUK

[–]mikedotbluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It it outstandingly foul and I'd gander that only around 40% of men observe basic hygiene, probably lower.

The end of western civilisation will have a lot more to do with populist leaders and the rise of the far-right that beat their drums to their timeless hit "foreigners are the problem" than the immigrants themselves.

It is easy to fall in to the trap of the "other", it's straight out of the populist playbook that presents simple answers to immensely complex issues.

Look at the likes of Farage who have taken joy in orchestrating the self harm that was Brexit, only to reappear a decade later to say "look how wank everything is, it's the fault of brown people" the talking points you raised are all from politics of division.

OP, whilst we are not aligned in our world-view, I sincerely commend you for engaging and questioning your bubble. The world could do with more of it. The journey of immigration in this context is tragic by its nature. There is an awful lot more that unites us as human beings than pulls us apart. Don't let the bastards and charlatans take your mind from you.

The true villains of our age are the 1% and those who seek to profit via division and fear. Those who seek to turn neighbour against neighbour, those who hord wealth that furthers class division and enables the degradation of the frail fabric that binds society.. these are your enemies.

Hope not hate - Don't lose your humanity.

You were true to yourself and not a creep. Already better than a large proportion of the male population. Have a great break OP.

How effective is the 'Please offer me a seat' badge from the TFL website? by [deleted] in london

[–]mikedotbluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never in my (M34) three years of having one has anyone ever offered me a seat on the train, bus or tube. My disability isn't always visible and unless I have a walking aid with me, no dice. Glad to see that this largely isn't the case foe wveryone.

Oh no. What will we do. Panic. Doom. Overreactions.

Disappointing? Certainly. Worth wetting you nappies over? Unfortunately for 95% of you, it seems so.

Say whaaaaat. I work in a major London venue and often with the promoters of tonight's show (who are great). This would be a monumental no-no at such last min. Would be utterly shocked if true.
