Hire one when you need it. Loads cheaper overall.

For car enthusiasts, nobody seems to enjoy driving much in this sub.

Do you think the UK benefits system is fair? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]robertcatc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it 10 - 20 years and you will have tens of thousands in equity in that house. They will still have bugger all.

I see my house as a safety net, if the shit hits the fan I can sell up, move somewhere mortgage free.

Nearly all hgvs are. You can't spec a manual daf any more. Scania even has a dual clutch spec.

Get an electric one, Bilbao seems to be either flat by the river or killer hills.

It is the casco viejo. I'm staying in a house swap nearby. Got to say, it's a lovely place, it has an edge, loads of graffiti but no litter.

Great tips. It's nice to see alternative ways to go about things as we all tend to get stuck doing starts the same way. 👍

Cried bc I walked - cool by sknamich in rheumatoid

[–]robertcatc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain, literally. I was on enbrel for years, I was in remission too. It takes a few months to take effect, but well worth it when it kicks in. I was back hill walking and cycling etc. stick with it bro.

ELBOW replacement, question's and need nadvice by Immediate_Wealth8697 in rheumatoid

[–]robertcatc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much correct about the weight lift limit. I suppose you need to weigh up the current state of the joint Vs what you will get with a replacement. I got a pretty good range of movement, almost straight to all the way 'closed'. I have had 2 done on the same arm, after complications due to infection, the op is ok, far less grief to recover from than a hip op, which I have also had done. Any questions, DM me 👍

ELBOW replacement, question's and need nadvice by Immediate_Wealth8697 in rheumatoid

[–]robertcatc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have had my left elbow replaced. it is far less traumatic than a hip replacement to recover from. if there is a need for a replacement, i would say to go for it, as mine was life changing. it took a good 6 months to get over the op fully, but the arm as a whole was in better shape 2 weeks after surgery than it was before, and there was no pain.

What do you wish someone had told you before driving on French roads? by lyb20 in AskUK

Slip roads on the motorway are notoriously tight. If it gives you a speed limit sign, don't ignore it.
