    I suffered from that when doing piecework in a shoe factory...i was on anti inflammatory pills which didn't help however the cortisone injections into the joint were pretty effective albeit bloody painful. I had to change the arm movements I was doing day in day out and I never suffered from it again

    You ought to try a chainsaw. Immensely safe, but with that oo-er reputation. And no tennis elbow. And nobody gives you any grief either while you're using it. I've often wondered why. ;)

    I've just got enough interest to ask why.

    I have downloaded some exercises, which I haven't started yet, to see if they might ease the symptoms.
    My left arm is bad, but I also have a hint of it in the right arm as well.
    Must be work related, as I ride around on Mechanical Handling Equipment, which involves a lot of steering (possible RSI), with butterfly speed controls and there is a good bit of stacking wooden pallets, which adds to the strain on the elbows.
    Will see if the exercises help, if not I will go back to the GP, and see what the next step is.

    He wanted to "concentrate on preparing for the weekend's race".

    Or some bollocks like that. I think Fats' description is equally accurate though.

    Unfortunately Bottas will take a five place grid penalty this weekend after a gearbox change, which lifts pressure on the small child he's teammates with. The Mercs look very strong at Silverstone.

    Such a shame.

    I don't know why they don't just dock the teams 10 points in the constructors championship for each gearbox/engine change instead.

    30 points would be the answer. It's stop then doing it.

    The shame is for the fans. Same for last week.

    Interesting listening to Derek Warwick interview with Brundle and Hill about Silverstone Grand Prix. We are the only Grand Prix that doesn't get state or presidential or principality financial support towards the Grand Prix. The interview finished with Damon Hill asking what would the cost of the event in London have meant to the British Grand Prix. Warwick's simple answer: "Would have taken us into profit"

    Shame
