DVee8 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Got a new trainee at work this morning,now this isn't the grin as we often have a high turn over of starters. The grin is that when talking to him I asked what he did for his last job... He worked for Euro Car Parts,as a picker,so send me any complaints you may have and i'll get a written apology for you. myglaren, Skizzer, richardmorris and 5 others 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Just been for a good old hoon in the 214, well as best as I can manage with a fully laden boot containing 4 alloys, various bits of old manifold and exhaust, and a blowing flexi. Urban, country lanes, A-roads, and Jct 27->26 on the M1. Didn't miss a beat all the way round. It's like a slightly watered down version of the 420 power-wise, but just as much fun handling-wise - can really throw it into the corners. Had a little mini race with a Ford Puma (we were two abreast on a 50mph dual carriageway). Gave it the beans and left the Puma for dust*. At 51 mph. Most fun I've had actually driving the 214 in my 8 months of ownership. LightBulbFun and 155V6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Physiotherapy A month ago some numpty ran into me in the car, my back has been stiff since, today had a physiotherapy session and I'm gobsmacked that 1/2 an hour of being twisted about can make such a difference , he's given me 3 exercises to do ( 1st since the 80s) which I'm definitely going to do So if you've got a bad back get some physio myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was alot of cracking, which sorted out her fused veribrae and slipped discs. 4 trips over 6 weeks. It didn't sort out her shoulder, and neither did 10 further physio appointments Which actually made it worse. She's now on the waiting list for a MRI or x-ray of shoulder. And taking naproxen. Which barely touches the pain. But yes. Don't ignore your back. Look after it. Wack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpingjehovahs Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I got confused/worried when I saw what you'd written but only the first photo, as I couldn't see the RX! You can achieve the same effect but in reverse if you park the RX next to a current Discovery, as I noticed last week..... Good to see those Fords all looking so standard.It’s funny you say that as when I left and got on the motorway I overtook a Highways Agency Discovery and thought how low down I felt...! Yep, all pretty much standard and all looking like they were months old. Really impressive little collection, just wish I’d had time to meet the owners!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W hg at i didnt understand was why the previous psycho had failed to do anything. Now we look back to it, she was given really strong painkillers which take weeks to become effective, and weeks to come off. So with the NHS limiting her to 5 sessions, at the last session she was "cured" of all pain, only due to the drugs starting to work. It took her 5 weeks to wean herself off the tablets with advise from a pharmacist, to find the pain was still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twosmoke300 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Got to disagree with the chiropractor comments too . I had a sore lower back and a numb right arse cheek for weeks and eventually sucked up the courage to see one . Two 15 min visits and all fixed . This is about 2 or 3 years down the road .

busmansholiday Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Mrs BMH has suffered pain in both shoulders following falls. In both cases, following physio, she ended up having to have surgery on both to sort out the rotator cuff injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've found myself walking the dog in the morning with an elderly chap called Leon, he keeps buying old clocks... A couple of days ago, I found out where he lived. He jumped out as I walked past and he invited me in to look at his clock collection. There are 48 clocks scattered high and low on a series of shelves all around his television. They all told exactly the same time and he dusts them using a hairdryer. Apparently a month or so ago, he had a bloke in to mend his boiler, it was eleven O clock. Every last one of them chimed and boiler bloke exclaimed. 'I couldn't live here with all that row'. To which Leon responded, 'Well you don't have to, so just do your job and bugger off!' Tickman, skattrd, stonedagain and 13 others 8 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
