My legs have gone very weak since covid, cant get up at all from a crouch position now, going to go for a few walks at first see how it goes

Me too! Crawling round the room so I could use furniture to pull myself up with.

Mine went wrong in 2017 after an accident compromised my cervical spine and hindered the nerve messaging. It has been getting progressively worse. Chiropractor is fixing/realigning the spine I am trying to rebuild wasted muscles.

Keep at it mate never give up, thought mine was bad and put it down to old age but I would think that old age would come on slowly

Why don't they just give the kids the exam papers in advance?

Save all the hassle!
Really, Ofsted could not organise a p!ss up in a brewery.
And no matter what happens the snowflakes will complain their education has been harmed by whatever happens.

All I know is my grandottir is now doing a BEd at Winchester based on grades she prolly wouldn't have got, had it not been for Covid.

Going for a walk in the crouch position will be sight for the populace!

Sorry, do sympathise, just couldn't resist.

And there you have it! Changing the prop fooked up the top of my back for weeks.
Prolly should've borrowed a ramp but it seemed so easy at the time to do it on my back

Been out and about today and on three occasions have seen a cyclist in the centre his lane with a queue of vehicles behind waiting to overtake.
I also caught up with two cyclists riding two abreast on a country lane and couldn't overtake because I would have been very close to the off side rider riding near the central white line. I pulled over after a bit and let the car behind have a go, I hate these new rules !!!

They were riding in breach of the new rules as well as the old ones if they were not being considerate of other road users.
Two abreast is doing just that if a driver cannot overtake them. As is cycling in the middle of the road.

Someone needs to tell the cyclists that they don't suddenly own the road, It's going to end in tears

Safely get past them and after a mile or two later with them up close behind you and feeling all "cosy" slam the brakes on for an imaginary rabbit.

He'll struggle to eggscellerate past bicyclist's in a tratter. Possible on a recovery truck.

Must get me pushbike tyres pumped up and go and cause a bit of road chaos

. Used to do a lot of cross country pedalling a few years back, still got me bike. Last time I went for a ride was when I put it in the back of me tratter and went to holland for a week. That was in 2014

. Push biking is well organised for traffic integration over there, safe for all road users.

When I couldn't get one in France I made one out of a bit of rubber toob, a razor blade and a fat nail.
It works a treat!!!
Otherwise you could always just catch the spurts of fluid in a rag, or a jam jar, but you'd need the wife to help you!!!

Brakes all bled...I used a pole off the chimney sweeper, pumped the peddle then jammed it against
the peddle & the door striker an opened the nipple. Repeat a few times vented disc conversion now
done. I didnt bother cleaning the discs up.

I moved swiftly on to changing the gearbox oil.
Quick way of filling the box...pull the gear lever rubber off & put the fluid doon a pipe connect to a
funnel took about 2 mins.

Nice one!
So the missus didn't have to toddle out in her high heels and pump your pedal!

Shame really!!

You can clean the discs up later.

If you clean 'em up now and don't drive it much they'll only rust up again!

This is what I meant.
i expect you've seen them before and i used the razor blade to make the slit to make it a one way valve!
