And you are presuming it’s an air rifle….so could have been an ak 47 for all we know.

Carrying a rifle in to the centre of London?

But were not in America.

No def a rifle bag.

Could well have been an air rifle… Not disputing that.

I ask my question again

Is it illegal to take a firearm on a train ?

I run home from work twice a week ( all year)…7 miles and via farm tracks/ coastal paths.

Have tried various headtorches..but

Now just run with my Exposure Enduro bike light in my hand.

Loads of light, enough to stun a would be attacker with :^)…well thats what I tell my imagination !

Cheers guys/ gals…

Ive just been out in the workshop spraying an old 1930’s tandem that I was given a few weeks ago. Everything is covered in yellow spray paint including the entire contents of the shed. :^)

I had a blub last night…and will continue you to do so for many years to come I am sure.

Your comments as total strangers offering support and love, whilst sharing your own very raw and personal experiences has touched me – thank you !

Life is a s**t

My mum passed away within 8 weeks of a diagnosis. From paddling the islands of the Coromandel in NZ – to the UK diagnosis and the haunting look on her face as the consultant told her she was going to die.

With the years I know that her untimely yet sudden death will be a comfort to me – I did not see her suffer, and the entire family had their momment to talk, one to one. Thank god!

Thank you. You weren’t rambling, it made total sense.

I was quite the opposite.

Rarely saw my mum ( later in life) as they chose to live quite an independant life…they were caravan club wardens and loved their jobs, but chose / were given sites in remote parts of the Uk.

My mum was my role model, the one person I looked up to and wanted to make proud. My dad and I have always argued… He’s never ( until now) shown me much attention or love.

A product of his upbringing he probably didn’t exerience much love and therefore lacked the tools to pass it on.

He felt comfort in my mum, they became a unit…and that was to the detriment of the family.

Each time both mum and I got close…dad would shut it down with whatever means needed. Usually insults that caused us to argue and obviously he got what he wanted and I backed off.

Now I’m rambling…

Therefore my phenomenal bond with my mum was always at arms length both physically and emotionally.

She died on my birthday April the 9th…

Ah teeto that’s tough… Real tough!

And a hurdle that I am going to face at some point also.

No easy words mate…

I haven’t got the luxury of leaving the room unfortunately.

A paramedic practitioner.

First callout…straight after mums funeral.

End of life care patient…

I think I will make some enquiries.

I’m not a bottler and recognise the usefulness of counselling.

The brain is a powerful beast indeed

Trouble is I don’t seem to be taking any positives from the memories at all…. It’s all just stirring things up.

Gweilo

Yep that’s the ones 26/27 were they the same ?

Wow…great getting old. You think bugger it I’m proud of what I like.

Deltics- they were a rare treat in Newton le Willow
50’s – tried to get as many ticked off whilst on holiday in Cornwall …awww happy family memories
But for grunt and rolled up just get on with it …. Class 40’s or 37’s

What was Stalybridge famous for loco wise ?

Yeah will give it a go tomorrow

Am I crayzee or what !!?

20 plus years here.

Why wash all the oils out…?

Bruneep

Cheers for input mate…No semi detached

Plastic gutters that have been cleared but not great ;@/

Stuart Adamson w Big Country

I hope that some of people who couldn’t watch and turned it off as they found it too depressing aren’t some of the folk who criticise public sector workers for having it ‘ soooo easy’

Try working your whole life looking after these people, and having the fear of losing your job following any complaints that they raise and which make the media headlines.

Depressed after 20 mins of viewing…

You don’t know the half of it !

Repeat after me…

It’s not where you live
it’s how you live where you live…

^Ignore.. Just ignore^

They sure are!

Mopping up society in more ways than one!

Anyone?

😀

I know what have I done?

In fairness to myself the cottage was already booked for a few (less rowdy mates and myself), then the talk of a reunion happened and I thought hey Wasdale…that will do.

But in all honesty Im worried that there really is bugger all for a group of less than active ex squaddies to do..

I may cancel and rebook somewhere else.

Help any suggestions?

Has to be the North West/ Lakes. 3 days

Prone running= mountain climbers yep..sorry

10 secs recovery in between each set.
1 min between each circuit ie between finishing A and starting B

slim down / strength gain / maintain fitness

Aim = any or all of the above really.

I do quite a few sports (all for fun) mtb, run,kayak,windsurf, long distance walks, mountain stuff etc and so guess that my gym sessions are primarily used for just ticking over and keeping me active all year rather than bailing out in the ‘darker months’.

I need to up my cardio side of things ( aside this session) to avoid bulking up…and that is my reason for posting really. I dont want to be big but want the strength.

I do recognise that my session of AB and C has almost certainly caused a plateau….but I still ache/burn 2 days after each session and I believed that by covering almost every body part in the one session would give a thorough workout…Im no gym bunny and cannot ever see me doing the shoulder one day, back the other day..type of training.

What type of sessions do you guys/gals do?

That would be me !

You are forgiven

Just out of interest…im taking it that you collect team numbers etc on the day?

Nowt has come through in the post

Have email confirmation etc

Yip…I’ve looked after many ex squaddies over the years.

As an ex squaddie myself I have a particular empathy towards those that are struggling…

I’m currently assisting one of the Iranian embassy lads …sadly turned to the alcohol for comfort in a big way.

It’s all sad

What is ?

If I came on here and asked a question about wound care….

Would that make me a surgeon? 🙄

Am I ?

Ok floor paint it is….now you cant sway me on the grey.

White clean walls and an industrial grey …luuurverley

Next Q.

Cheapest and best?

Competition?

There’s no competition…? Just merely stating a fact!

And what age would that be?

67?

The age that paramedics have to work to.

Now there is a profession who is fully entitled to moan about their lot!

A frame on top of the concrete base?
