Narh, Ken's always been like that, he just wasn't as prolific when he was working.

To be honest, I don't read his posts. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, he's just boring.

Are there any pictures from the working days? Try not to be cynical but I do wonder.

Whether I agree with the likes or moose or mattp or not the forum is better with them on it,  it would certainly be more boring if they didn't post.

[lavrentis]

Didn't mind TPH but gets about boring when it's always about the good old days on the forum. This forum is best it's been IMO. Don't like banning though but mods will be mods

Daggers and nick lol the old guard, with their "lengthy intelligent debates" such as the daggers classic "what's your favourite stone? Mine used to be granite." The two aged hippies ran a mile once some genuine opposition to their horrifically out of touch leftist philosophy arrived, and now much like TPH have resorted to occasional pot shots from the sidelines. Cowards. God knows how these people function in real life when they can't even handle a bit of debate on a forum.

G'won admit it , you miss them really though

Also where did FIF go?

I initially used to think that Spherical Fox and Col city fan were annoying and try to create arguments whenever possible - they're alright now, now they've grown a pair.

 

Never understood Nick; I've always had the impression that he had a 'chip on his shoulder' with regards to a majority of his posts.

I thought it was just me- He'd not post for months then he'd appear out of nowhere attempting t rip me apart.

You wouldn't want to see them.

So much love on this forum.

[Trav Le Bleu]

He said he was hacked. Some never believed him.. Thought he was joking when he said he was going. Always seemed a witty poster and met him a few years ago before deciding  to settle down and having to l be a responsible family man.

 

Glad you've finally met someone Ken, it's about time you calmed down and put down some roots.

I have a question for anybody who is cool.

I'm not cool, never have been - never will. But given that I work in the centre of town with a with a customer base that represents a huge mix of people I think I understand cool and "street" talk/words.

Today, whilst some lad was squaring up to me and shouting in my face he offered me outside - not for a fight it turns out but to get, and I quote; "wrapped up" to which I asked what the **** he was on about and if he was speaking English?

"Wrapped up blud, you'll be wrapped up" was the reply? I asked if he meant like fish and chips and told the guy he had 10 seconds to leave if he ever wanted to use the facility again. Which he did.

But I'm genuinely confused (and depressed that I've lost touch with the cool kids). Can any cool/street person tell me what the hell "wrapped up" means?

[21st Century Fox]

It sounds as if he was quite concerned you weren't dressed warm enough after this sudden drop in temperature today and was offering you his cagoule. Nice chap.

No idea. I can't even guess. It's not even rhyming slang as far as I'm aware.

Is the brace position on an aircraft supposed to help you survive or break your neck so you die instantly?

My friend who I was having the conversation with earlier said its the latter.

He's talking absolute nonsense,

Wrapped up in a body bag yo. Brrrrrap.

Yeah it's a myth along with it helps to protect your teeth so they can identify your body by the dental records

Approximately how long does it take from a twisted Hammond ankle?

 

Done it last week whilst walking downstairs, and tried everything to shrug it off ever since.

You know what, given that the gentleman in question looked like he's just stepped out o a home-made bedroomgangstarap video. You might be right there.

Depends how badly it is twisted. General recommendation is to not do any strenuous exercise, but do keep it relatively active so it doesn't stiffen up. I'd say at least 4-6 weeks.

 

I also did my ankle in last week. Rolled/twisted on it as I was running and me being quite heavy, the ankle really did feel the full weight of me. It was already weak after suffering the same injury before, and my ligaments are probably seriously damaged - last time it took at least 6 weeks to heal. I think this time around it'll take at least 8 weeks to heal properly. I don't think it'll ever fully heal.

 

First picture on the night of the injury:

 

Here's what it looked like a few days after (ignore the yellow-ish colouring; that's just some ointment used to reduce the swelling).

[I am Rod Hull]

Give it another few days, Stan.
