I'm about to go to the chip shop
and get pie and chips. Not been for a good 7 months as I've been trying to be good, but it's just time for a pie.

They don't do them
That would probably be a step too far off the diet though.

It's a fairly decent red (for cornershop wine)

I'll swap you them for Nick Harper.
Check him out at www.harperspace.com or live if you get the chance. He tours a lot and I've never been disappointed by a gig he did.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sat 15 May 2010, 21:01, Reply)

Fuckin' 'ell, I've known them for years without knowing who they are!
Saw them gig a couple of times about 18/20 yrs ago in Liverpool or Manchester I think. Might have been Nottingham or Leeds.
Anyway, a cracking band. Kind of remind me of early mercury rev but I don't know why.

He's just himself, singer/songwriter/guitarist.
If you get the chance to see him grab it with both hands, it will probably change your life.
The way he de-tunes and re-tunes whilst playing is just amazing. Changing strings (a common theme, he's that ferocious with the guitar) mid-song, using hammering-on and such to keep it going whilst he gets the instrument sorted.
The man is a fucking legend.
If you can afford £20 at the moment then go to harprspace and buy a copy of "Double Life".
And let me know what you think.
If you TRULEY don't like it then I will buy it off you for the cover price ;-)

The doctor was astonished by how well I was progressing, and especially by my lack of pain. I start physical therapy soon.

The daft fucker
busted his ankle a few weeks ago. Badly.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Sat 15 May 2010, 20:37, Reply)

About 8 weeks ago.
Surgery was about six weeks ago. I now have a big titanium plate and a half dozen screws in my ankle holding the fibula together that will be in there forever, and a scar that would look at home on Frankenstein's monster.

Still using the crutches and will likely do so for weeks to come. Makes people look twice when I pull into a disabled parking space, as I otherwise look like a strong fit sort. They then look guilty when I pull out the crutches and hobble about...

But I know one girl that weighs 200lbs who got a spackerplackard for it.

( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Sat 15 May 2010, 20:36, Reply)

I found in the first couple of weeks after I kicked the booze...
That I felt a LOT of physical pain.
Joints, old injuries, general body-parts.
It's calmed down a bit now but still worse than I ever used to feel it.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Sat 15 May 2010, 20:58, Reply)

Erm, this is the arthritis
I'm talking about
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Sat 15 May 2010, 21:12, Reply)

Yeah, I remember that from earlier posts.
Mine is probably just wear and tear.
Apart from the L1/L2 spinal dislocation 17yrs ago, the C3/C4 prolapsed disc 12yrs ago and the crushed left foot 8yrs ago.
The tingling and numbness in my hands has reduced by at least 30% since I stopped drinking but now every time I pick up a hammer I get a stabbing pain right up my arm. I guess the pain was numbed by the booze for a long time but the effect on my nervous system has been quite profound.
the arthritis in my lower spine has become a lot more evident too.
Bollox.
But what to do?
Just get on with it and get back to the Yoga I guess, that always used to help, guess it wouldn't hurt (any more) to try it again?

Planning to trick my insurance company
My car insurance is £1380 a year if I pay in a lump sum and £1950 if I pay monthly (I'm 20 and have had a recent accident). However, my insurance company (Elephant) say that I can pay monthly for a while before paying off the rest of the lump sum when I can afford to. If I do this, then I pay £1380 minus the amount I've paid in monthly bills. It follows that if I pay monthly for four or five months before paying off the total, my company will be charging me the lump sum amount, but letting me pay it more or less on my own terms.

That is fucking expensive! My insurance is $900 (exchange rate approx $1.42 to the pound) a year, and that's with a DUI 6 years ago, albeit no accidents, but it's fully comp with a high end company.
