Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
a friend advertised a used bike jacket on FB, RST, 50 quid.
I spoke with him and we realised it would be too small.
but I had the bug then, so I went on ebay and bought a far superior (IMO) used KTM power parts jacket for ...... 50 quid delivered
It arrived in better condition than expected. very happy

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
Having experienced the father-in-law's driving the other week, of which Mrs. G thought I was exaggerating, it was reassuring to read her Whatsapp message describing him nearly taking another car out when changing lanes with the final comment, 'I've nearly shat myself a couple of times on this journey'.
In all seriousness, we might be having to have words with him.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
According to the Ortho Doc I saw yesterday my hip/leg pain is not caused by the artritis in my hip - I've had a muscular injury for over 18months which 4 NHS physios have kept telling me is OA.
MRI scan soon which should pin down what the problem is

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
When I had OA issues with my knee, a (private) physio told me my back pain was due to alignment issues caused by my body making a natural shift in the way I walked to lessen the load on the affected knee. After the knee was replaced I had a gait analysis and physio and was advised that I basically had to teach myself to walk correctly again. IIRC core exercises and strengthening of the weaker side was required.Ditchfinder wrote: Thu May 22, 2025 1:30 pm According to the Ortho Doc I saw yesterday my hip/leg pain is not caused by the artritis in my hip - I've had a muscular injury for over 18months which 4 NHS physios have kept telling me is OA.

I don't recall, but converting one fizzy piss into another fizzy piss shouldn't qualify

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.
That looks like it's worth a try, unfrtunaly I've been spoiled by local breweries offering free delivery, so I'll be buggered if I'm paying for beer to be delivered

Another good brewery in Englandshire is wold top. Linked is my favourite. Scarborough Fair is another good one. They do free delivery over a certain price but try a variety pack. You wont be disappointed.
