I'm working for the company that provides the medical services for Leeds festival.. I second Northwind's suggestion of bog roll…had a patient who had used cartridge paper as bog roll at Download festival…not pretty!

Eating: My 14th ready meal in 2 weeks, last one today as exams have finished
Drinking: Banana Nesquik soon to be Strongbow for post exam celebrations
Listening: Sonic Youth-Teenage Riot

See what the Gp says but gout affects the big toe most commonly, especially if its only on one side…
I’m probably wrong but we’ll see..

Me after a ‘long day’…

What’s the worst that could happen though?

Hahaha!!

This one is a specialist hare hunter… well at least she thinks is!

A deer hunting dog does sound pretty cool though 🙂

I bought the 16Gb one on pay-and-go last October and am soon to switch to their sim only pay monthly deals.. 10 hours of calls, 1200 texts and unlimited web browsing for under £20…
Give it 5 years and my scheme may pay off 😉
Edit- awesome phone…amazing what they cram into it!

Table Tennis is a decent free game..i think it may be top of the free chart at the moment…

I had three medschool exams today, only an hour each and I was complaining!… Remembering back to A-levels and the stress of only one a day, doing four must have been a nightmare….
Hope they went okay for her and her Crohns settles, from what I know about it sounds quite distressing. Good Luck to her if she has any more 🙂

Baby Bitch by Ween…on repeat 🙂

I’d be there if it wasn’t for exams 🙁 Just hope i’m home next time there’s something going on!
Have a good one!

Yeah go to a and e, I broke my 5th metacarpal and I ended up with a cast!

🙂

IDEAL

I like that bit 🙂

Yep missed that one too.. and I was convinced I spent all the time I should have been revising trawling through here in the past few weeks..

Oops sorry, must have missed that one!

I was shadowing a Gp a few months ago and one of the patients was very deeply depressed. She kept idealising suicide and looking me in the eye saying she’d had enough of life and ‘wanted out’. She also said that she overdoses on sleeping pills in the day to make her sleep so she doesn’t have to think about anything…
It was without a doubt the most deeply saddening things i’ve seen, took me ages to stop thinking about her..

Anyway, that’s my depression story.. At least you have a new bike to play on ton?

Trampus:
I made it out of an old science bench, I had to scrape the chewing gum off first though! It’s iroko apparently, it was so dense that the friction it developed with the router developed so much heat that it would burn the wood if i wasn’t quick enough!
The sustain is good, I must get it over to uni and have a go with it really loud 🙂
Weight-wise it’s noticeably heavier than an old Les Paul which gives me neck ache after a while..I took it to my local guitar shop after i’d finished so that someone could have a look at the electrics(i couldnt get the last position on the switch to work) When i picked it up later that week it had “Caution Heavy!” sign stuck on it which was quite embarrassing!

I think i got lucky with the good tone, it was a bit ‘hit and miss’, using tech benches full of odd nails etc and having to stay in at lunchtimes for weeks on end with a soldering iron…still at least i came out with something worthwhile in the end!
Oh and to get the shape; i drew round as many guitars as i could find on the same sheet of paper and tried to ‘mash’ then all together, and that’s what came out! 🙂

Guess what..another guitarist here too! Been playing for 10 years now (started when i was 9) Started off on the electric, played flamenco for a few years and got very hooked, now I’m playing a bit of everything 🙂
This year I became the lead guitarist in THE med school bluesy band “The Tumbling Dice” 😉
(Here’s a pic of me complete with vicaresque shoulder strap!)

Oh and here’s a pic of the guitar I made for my GCSE tech project:

Weighs as much as a small child but somehow sounds pretty good. Doesn’t look anything great but I was 15/16 and i’d never used a router before! ( i didn’t make the neck btw!)

Best way of cooking ’em without a steamer?

Sounds like a cool idea if it can be done, i’d be up for giving it a go 🙂

Will be starting my 6th week of revision tommorow, but you wont be getting me off my bike in a few weeks time 🙂

I listened to it to the end which is a good sign 🙂
I agree with stratobiker, delivered with a bit more confidence and it’d be great!
I’m very jelous btw, i’m annoyingly incompetant at playing my guitar and singing at the same time, it feels like rubbing your stomach and patting your head but 10 times harder to me 😕

Wilma: that website has made my head hurt.

A quick search for gp14 found this . Keep checking on there and good luck 🙂

Thanks Shinsplints, hadn’t heard of them before and now playing them non stop!….now to look up the guitar music for Teen Age Riot 😕

Somewhere near Betws-Y-Coed, not the Marin trail…

Hi,
Ok first of all take a look at boatsandoutboards I’ve bought and sold a boat on here and i found that it was one of the most popular places for people to advertise their dinghies..
In terms of storage you are probably best leaving it down at the sailing club, it’s far easier than hooking it up to your car and getting the launching trolley on and off the car trailer etc. I cant quite remember how much it was to keep my boat at the sailng club but i don’t think it was more than £40 for the whole year…

You will need boat insurance if sailing on a reservoir in a club, someone like noblemarine are fine.

Things to look out for when viewing a boat…
1.Check under the ‘gunnels’ where the main hull meets the deck, a common place for leaks especially in fibreglass or plastic boats.
2. Check how air tight the air tank(s) are a good sign is when you un-screw the bung there’s a little ‘hiss’. Or if you can, blow into them, seal with your thumb, wait 10 seconds or so and then if air blows back out it should be pretty water tight!

Have a look at the sails, i suspect you’re not expecting anything amazingly crisp but check they’re not completly flogged because a new suit of sails will cost you far over and above what you will be paying for the boat.

Check it has a road trailer which is obvious i guess.. In terms of which boat to get i’m sure you’ve probably tried a fewin your training sessions but don’t forget that an Enterprise has no spinnaker if you’re bothered about that, they do have a generous sail area though..
Gp14s are good fun (i’ve done a 24hr race in one) and as you’ll know you’ll be able to get a few more kids in the wayfarer, although they are quite heavy..

I really hope you get sorted out, now i’m at uni, sailing twice a week is the thing i miss the most along with getting out on my bike..just don’t have the time with my course unfortunately.

Hope I’ve covered most things but i’ll check back on here if there’s any questions,I hope it’s helped a little.
Will.
