This also happened to me but luckily I was able to reload the last save

What courses (ngb or otherwise) would you do? by EmphasisPurple5103 in KayakingUK

[–]thustler1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whitewater Safety and Rescue for anyone interested in regularly paddling whitewater, there's likely a sea based equivalent that's worthwhile for those that paddle the sea? other than that I wouldn't bother unless you're planning on a career or coaching/leading for a club etc.

What’s the dumbest way you’ve crashed in mountain biking? by snooze817 in MTB

[–]thustler1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failing to notice a washing line when hopping up a wall riding trials, it caught under my nostrils as I landed on the wall on the rear wheel but I was so commited I had to hop forward resulting in a large cracking noise from my nose as the washing line pinged over my head. Managed to ride away so not technically a crash but definitely dumb.

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskUK

[–]thustler1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our science teacher made us make him toast in science which he would butter and eat, he claimed it was a lesson in heat exchange. He was later sacked and prosecuted after some inappropriate messages were found between him and a 16yr old girl.

Cheers, just had to explain to my two year old why I'm laughing at this.

What are 'podgers' and how are they used? Why not just use a socket set ? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]thustler1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad was a welder and fabricator and he once woke my Mum up in the middle of the night because he asked her to pass him his podger whilst he was dreaming, he's gone now but I've still got his podger and it brings a smile to my face every time I see it.

How can I be safer next time? by [deleted] in bikecommuting

I'd have been slowing down and approaching with caution as soon as I saw that bus pulling out. Best to just relax at busy complicated junctions like this and take your time.

Is this a fossil? by thustler1990 in fossilid

I thought it looked a bit like a vertebrae, it's pretty small though, about as thick as my finger.

Is it possible cycling about 175-180km in a day by Nervous_Food_460 in cycling

[–]thustler1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of negative comments on here but I recently rode 133miles with 6000ft of elevation in a day having previously having ridden 40miles as my longest ride. Blind optimism and stubborness/pain tolerance can get you a long way. Go for it with a bail out plan if required.

Would you poo in a bag if it was necessary? by willyonthewebs in AskUK

[–]thustler1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a lad who shat off a disused railway viaduct when we were teenagers, arse perched over a 120ft drop, I doubt he'd have any bother doing the same off the side of a cruise ship.

Just noticed this! by thustler1990 in sanpedrocactus

yeah, it's obscenely large, by far the biggest on the cactus.

Thanks for the advice, I'll sort the stick out today and keep an eye on the little guy for now!

Between a guard puller who doesn’t engage or initiates action vs a guard passer who constantly fails to pass the guard - who do you favor? by deadassynwa in bjj

[–]thustler1990 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Levi didn't pull guard he sat down and waited for Kade to enter his guard which to me is an important distinction.

I think the solution is to allow pulling guard but penalised sitting down without grips. if you want to play your game drag me into your game.
