Thats what I was meaning about my Grandad being right. He was telling me not to blast it as I wouldnt have enjoyed it. Taking your time, enjoying the pubs and having a laugh would be better. If you set off in the dark dont climb Conic Hill, take the low level bypass. Would be far too dangerous doing it at night especially going back down. It was bad enough in daytime!
good stuff , isnt it ; I had cruciate surgery,,,woke up in post -op , feeling absolutely fine....until they asked me if I was in any pain....that seemed to complete some circuit in my anaesthetised brain......few seconds delay and then....YES I`M IN ****ING PAIN!!!!!! GIMME SOMETHING!!!!
They asked me that and I wasn't in any. She said they'd given me morphine during the op and in the recovery room, and they'd be worried if I was in pain
i had the butt cam a few years ago (as my flatmate put it) as they thought i had cancer, usually they just give you valium so you can still roll over and take it like a man but the thing got stuck in my gut and the mechical technique they use to free it up is to make like a chimney sweep and ram it home. i was screaming like a wee girl and doing me best to break the nurses hand (shouldnt have offered to hold it), the 2nd time it got stuck all i remember is "we're just going to give you something". 2 hours later i wake up and theres a centaur playing panpipes at the end of the bed and in a room covered in ivy when i had my follow up the guy told me that it was a bit like clean heroin, it wasnt a pain killer it just "puts you somewhere else" that and "for a guy your size, i'd have given you a lot more valium" no ****.
Brilliant effort Frank.....by my reckonning you must have covered more than 50 miles....sterling work....where`s the thumb up smilie on this ****e hole site? I feel inspired to try it myself and have been on the Highland Way website today.....may attempt it during the summer but will definately give myself a week to do it. Again.....well done the Frankster!
On re-reading my post Dougie i agree it is a bit gushing....i accept your silver straw award. Please accept with the same good grace your `smug **** of the day' award. View attachment 127
