Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

[Bigjawa]

I'm trying to find an app or something that will help me organise about 15 mins of yoga (chair yoga preferably for now) once or twice a day

Downloaded a load of apps and guess what, I have to sign up for all of the ones I've looked at so far

I even searched for free apps - but the app was free to put on my phone but not free to use FFS!


So now I suppose I have to trawl through youtube,
which I dislike a lot , to find something that works

This is why I can't be bothered with apps n stuff, it's never bloody simple!!

Your Charles Bronson bloke, the psycho convict one, wrote a very good book about exercise in confined spaces, it's worth a read.

Park Run.

I know, I know...it's a great motivator to get people running who wouldn't normally and that people love it and derive great enjoyment from it.

However, having stopped going some years ago because there were simply too many people, too many people desperate to get a PB by means of careering sideways/through/into others, too many rules about what lead your dog can be on, yet more rules regarding what headphones/earbuds you can or cannot use, having ankles taken out by people running with twin buggies, being elbowed out of the way as you get to the finish for somebody desperate to get that one place up in the finish order, the over-zealous marshals barking orders, etc., I found out on Saturday that things seems to have gotten worse.

I'll just go for a run in my local woods with the dog off the lead, if it's all the same.

Park Run.

Sounds awful. I run on my own in the countryside, it's relaxing (for exercise), and I certainly don't need motivation from other sweaty amateurs.

Parking apps. Tfl website. Odeon Cinema booking.
I'm back in the Country for a few weeks to tie up some loose ends and visit people.
I now have an Australian phone number.
I am at my witts trying to park, trying to pay for a days ulez, trying to book tickets for the Cinema.
They just don't accept a Forrin phone number, well Tfl seem to, but Australia isn't in their drop box.
Ho do Tourists get by ?

I've been an overzealous Marshall at parkrun many times, on more than one occasion I've had to assist broken ankle cases caused by rogue dogs on long leads tripping people up. Hence the rule now

MK parkrun is cursed though. We had the ambulance out three weeks in a row once. One stroke, one nasty leg break and one heart attack who won a helicopter ride.

Exercise is bad for you

Exercise is bad for you

A number of my physical/structural issues are, I believe, down to doing the sort of activities that are supposed to be good for you. I reckon there's a whole branch of physiotherapy going to be needed for some of today's sporty types when they get older. (Knees, hips, shoulders...basically anything that articulates!).

And the UK is sooo not set up to deal with that sort of rehab - so an awful lot of disabled people who needn't be

(Ok, maybe things will change by then, but I'm being extra super positive saying that!!)

Amen, Brother CS.

I stubbed a toe against a door frame back in June, aggravated an old sporting knee injury.

That might be stretching the definition of 'sporting' a tad. I don't think 'stopping a car with your knee' (Bastille weekend, 1979) will ever feature at the Olympics

Swimmer's ear!

Not the scabby gross type, just the can't really hear type. I get it whenever I spend time underwater. Usually passes within 24-36 hours. I'm on day 5 at the minute...

I had the same problem but solved it with Zoggs (or similar) earplugs. Feels odd swimming without them now.

JUST AFTER NINE O'CLOCK

in all seriousness, thanks, I'll give them a go

There are various types of plug at a range of prices...

...but the Zoggs are about the cheapest and they work fine for me. If you have a problem with fit the moldable silicone ones are probably the way to go. Some people like the ones that are on a 'string' but, tbh, if they're likely to fall out they don't fit v well.

[ChrisW]

...but the Zoggs

Many thanks - just ordered a pair.

And to think I was hoping for a pointless whinge!

You can still whinge if your ears are still full of water on day 6.

(But if you still can't hear properly I'd suggest a trip to the doc because it doesn't just sound like a lug full of sea/pool water after that length of time).

[MingtheMerciless]

Trying to reset a work IT password, 1 hour in a queue, starting at 11 , got to 6 in the queue before giving up, tried alternative number and sent a link that doesn’t work, tried again, got sent the same link which still doesn’t work. Gave up, I’ll let my competency’s lapse and wait for them to sort it out.

Apple are BMP right now, even though I can understand why. My Step Dad has lost it due to infections and managed to lock his iphone out of everything. Tried following apples reset procedure but he hasn't updated the payment card so we cant use that method as its out of date. Apple have scheduled a reset procedure with us for the 1st of September. Now I appreciate the security behind this but a company as big has apple cant sort a basic problem out for 11 days ffs!

KTM
Just started rebuilding this lads Duke. Get the new valve spring out of the packet, hmmmm!!!! Not sitting in the bottom seat.
Drop the other inlet valve as I was changing that as a precaution, sits fine in the bottom seat, both sides.
A quick visual inspection reveals different lengths, and not by a wee bit either!
Measure the diameter on a Vernier, old spring drops through new spring dia!
Ok, off to the fowler's website, 2021 bike, yep, that's the part number KTM have listed.
I wonder if it's an older motor with new clothes.
Check the 20MY, valve spring has been superceded by new part, which they haven't put on the 21MY fiche. Cnuts
