Re: Crazy Bear Challenge
Hi Mike - I should have dipped in much earlier with an "atta-boy" or three for you. Back in the day when I did looney things like this, the team were a major help in getting me to/over the line so it's remiss of me to not return the favour. Awesome effort there sir ^O^ ^O^ - may as well se...

Re: Scottish Tips
I wouldn't take too much advice from a London Cabbie, in fact for that matter, anyone who drives in London, they are much more wired to "me first" than the rest of the country ;-). I spent a weekend in Edinburgh and didn't use the car at all once parked. It's a fabulous city with wonderful...

Christine Wojcik (from San Diego) spent a few days in Scotland and they did quite a few castles and there appears to be a few, ahem, distilleries up there...if that's your type of thing.

Re: Name that tune
Young Guns - Go For It (which oddly appeared on a George Michael at the BBC documentary the same day I picked his lyrics) is correct Wolfie. Like you, if you are happy to concede, maybe Fred should throw one up for us - if he's happy to do so?

Re: Name that tune
Fred -you are very close - and I fully understand how you made the error (because I have done the exact same thing). If nobody gets it after these clues in the next 2 days, I'll award the next choice to you anyway (it would be good to have a new "chooser" for a change)

Mrs P is currently listening to some UK 80's stuff downstairs (rather loudly) and this was the first line I heard after logging on:
"Wise guys realize there's danger in emotional ties"
Peaked at No.3 in the UK

Re: Injuries.....:(
I might have had a bit of a Eureka moment today. 90%+ of my severe pain is on the lower outside of my left hip and mid left glute. I've been telling myself that this can't be disc related because it simply doesn't "feel" like nerve pain, more like a muscle pull/tear pain. I had a scheduled...

Thank you all. I'm having a bad day mentally today - i.e. really in the dumpster about things but the kid words help. Tako messaged me earlier with some support via Whatsapp re his previous disc situation which helped me believe that if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it might NOT be an o...

Re: Injuries.....:(
Hi guys - I got Mrs P to bring my laptop to me so I could post an update as so many have posted very kinds words. The update is a follows: Dec 19th I had an MRI at the local hospital which I was told was "clear". I also had 5 X-rays and nothing was reported as anomalous. So, several weeks ...

Re: Injuries.....:(
Apologies for the lack of appearances on the forum recently but 6 weeks of a back issue followed by 3 weeks of chronic sciatica (leading to a 4 day stay in hospital last week to have MRI scans and X-Rays) means my season has gone into complete stasis. I'm still laid up on my back and can barely get ...

Re: November ctc - a simple 10k!
Well done Colin, good job ticking that one off.
I think this might be my first missed CTC in... (no idea). My back/hips/piriformis seems to be falling apart so 15 mins or so is my limit and I suffer for that the day after.

Re: The Lexicon of Indoor Rowing Terminology
I've just edited the OP to bring it a little bit more up to date (I saw that Captain Stan was still showing as team captain so I've installed Peter now). Also a couple of typos corrected and other updates. Just a little housekeeping really.
