Driving lessons definitely not.

I **** hate me a bit of country, but this has warm, fuzzy nostalgia all over it.

Whilst we’re here, does anyone have a solution for the agonising face pain from really cold water? It’s about 10C or so here. I’ve got a cap but my face is the problem.

Surfer friends of mine used to wear balaclavas during winter.

They were insane, though.

Childhood flashback incoming!!!!

My dad was a bit of a twitcher BITD and I well renember the excitement the first ring ouzel sighting generated.

It was nothing compared to the first golden plover, though – what a day that was! :D

You’ll never get the plane though that thing.

Couldn’t find this thread last week – I made it to 2 in 2 nights.

Wednesday: Enola Gay
Thursday: Therapy?

Both rather good!

I train Wing Chun and Kali pretty much every day; have done for the past 6.5 years.

At some point I’ll no longer be a novice.

Fungi.
Fun-guy, fun-gee*, or fun-jee?

Or ghee, if you cook with butter.

it really is just interviews. Same company I work for, my ex boss who I get on well with. I just can’t talk about myself I suppose. Unless…

Unless… Bolivian marching powder – trust me on this.
My flatmate loves a toot and he never stops talking about himself when he’s on the llello. Fascinating guy 🙄

I see a new patio in your future

Have you tried using Drac’s iPad?

You sound bitter.

Wonderful!

Ask me anything

Do you even lift, bro?

Might appeal to some on here

Sensible. You eat the protein last as it’s the most expensive.

Unsensible, for me. You’ve eaten the best part of the meal cold.

Real data geeks don’t use excel 🤓

True say.

Bell wire FTW!

Tables wobble but they don’t fall down.

Goddamn that DJ made my day

@perchypanther

I have a silly amount of spare parts I need to get shot of that would be very pumptrackable. Do you have the details of whom I should contact to donate them?

I’ve never been given my ticket from a pub, but I have from Warwick Castle.

Some years ago I went for a Christmas do there with the degenerate alcoholics from my local. Our entire party achieved a lifetime ban.

Almost as hilarious as this

@tjagain

Chair yes, possibly a good tactic, but you’d need to be assertive. Other thing no.
Too much chance of impaling yourself on his blade.

They both lunged a few times at each other and both leapt out of the way when necessary. Almost balletic. But it quickly became apparent that they were as scared as each other at the thought of being stabbed/cut/sliced by the other.

Very familiar scenario for me; when I get people to spar with padded sticks they just go nuts as the consequences of being hit are minimal. Swap for medium weight rattan and the game completely changes.

When i trained martial arts we used real knives and yes people did get cut

was it at a kickboxing club in Glasgow..

😃😄

My teacher’s said we’ll be using live blades at some point.

I might have flu that day…

1) US law enforcement work off the 21 feet rule, (which includes drawing a holstered sidearm) but there are some issues with it.

2) As a general rule icepick grip is seen to be better for attacking, but has limited options for angles compared to hammer grip. Hammer grip is generally better for being attacked as you can counter more easily against the attacking hand/arm (know in Philipino martial arts as defanging the snake).

However, Petiki Tersia Kali favours icepick grip (in general) for being able to deflect and get to the attacker’s blind side.

All bets are off, though if you’re faced with the “prison sewing machine”

So we need a member that gets into knife fights and owns a gun?

Hi! :)

Guns aren’t my thing, but I train (and train others) in blade and impact weapons stuff. It’s largely unrealistic – if someone really wants to stab you, they’re going to – but it is good fun :)

Was Maggie T one of his role models?

No denial of being a fan there 😁

A real fan wouldn’t have missed off the umlauts

One for the mashups thread

There is nobody of any standing in the world of actual Psychology that thinks Myers Briggs has any validity.

Typical INFP response :)

RobHilton – no – was explained to me as linked to being immobile for the coming six weeks, zero weight through leg.

Ta. Was just interested – I broke my ankle earlier this year and, being a lightish smoker had to jab myself daily. It wasn’t great doing it, but it wasn’t enough to make me quit.

**considering im self injecting daily with something to prevent blood clots, from which im at risk due to breaking my leg last week (Tibia Plateau Fracture)

Do you smoke?

I appreciate this probly isn’t a competition, but I once put contact lenses in with alum on my fingers – the stuff used to coagulate shaving cuts.

Surprised I didn’t go blind.

Cheers guys. Looks like cuvva might be a winner.

Hiring a van by the day would work if I didn’t also have to get an MOT and do a few tip runs
