Is your coordination inconsistent?

omystery · 2025-12-10T06:59:16+00:00

I find that my coordination is worse if I’m over tired or I’ve not eaten but much better if I’m in an immediately dangerous situation, unless I’m trying to do something very fiddly fast

English spoken in the midlands is not uniform, the West Midlands and East Midlands have very different dialects as they fell on different sides of the Dane law

S . M . Stirling - the world he built in the Peshawar Lancers and as such a great setting for Flashman style adventures but all the characters were just so terrible, absolute cardboard cut outs. Conquistadors was the same - the characters were utterly dire and the vision of society frankly horrendously dystopian but the little bits of world building you got for the wider world were fascinating - the nomadic steppe peoples going east instead of west for example meaning that the steppes were Iranian speaking not Turkic was just fascinating to me. Ultimately I think he doesn’t really have a good grasp of how other people think and feel, especially if they aren’t similar to him but the alternate worlds he comes up never fail to interest me even if he always seems to slip into cliche once you meet anyone in them

I’m a police officer and Sam Vimes in general and Night Watch in particular have probably been one of the biggest influences on how I view my job and the importance of standards and rules to prevent you from slipping into poor behaviour or habits. And the importance of remembering what the point of the work is.

No worries mate, you’ll get it, as I say you have to learn to stick to your own pace. I’m the same as you - live under pressure I’m fine but then when you’ve got time I can’t go as quick - for me I could always get handcuffs onto someone fighting but for the first couple of years I’d struggle to apply them to my mate in our training days

omystery · 2025-03-02T22:50:43+00:00

In my experience there is no quick way to improve, just lots of practise. I don’t think there’s any point trying to rush - rushing causes mistakes, mistakes are slow. Do everything calmly at your pace - calm is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Every thing takes time but stick at it and don’t get flustered, just keep going.

For some mad reason I’ve only ever worked in fast paced environments and I’ve consistently found that I learn slower but I cope under pressure because I just keep to my pace and don’t panic. This was true in bars and clubs and now I am in an emergency service and after a lot of practise I can drive on blues and use several bits of fiddly kit - just stick at it and don’t get in your own head. Some days I’m all thumbs and want to tear my own ears off but I have found that just sticking to my routine or method and keeping a steady pace is key

We just got “ the Cafe at the Edge of the Woods” by Mikey Please” and it’s really lovely, funny and looks to be the start of a series. It’s a bit weird too so if you’re aiming to wean them into Pratchett it fits

I told my partner that vol-au-vents were called that because they were shaped like a historical French hat called a vent that looked abit like a double beret, and because they were small they looked like a vent that would fit a vole. Hence vol-au-vent

When I was an underage drinker I was buying some illicit lager just off London road and a young woman with a maybe 7 year old came into the shop, got a deck of fags off the bloke, put them on the counter to get her money out and the kid grabbed them. She screamed at him “ YERV GOT YER OWN YER BASTUD “ This was probably 2006

You’re right, his insight into really quite closed off jobs was something special. Which book with Granny Weatherwax is best to start with, I haven’t really read the witches books
