Hands up

[d000hg]

wuss!

you mean only your joints ache?

Yeah not due to the level of exertion though. My left knee has always ached after exercise ever since I was maybe 8 (it clicks too and always has done), and for some reason swimming makes my left elbow sore. I am guessing simply since my left arm is weaker and swimming isn't really letting me get away with that.

In my defence I spent yesterday evening replacing a single for a double panel convector - so had to test there are no airlocks in the system.

Plan to run some system cleanser in it for a week, Hire a Power Flush next weekend , add some inhibitor & jobs a good un

We've had it on in the annex where the 85 year old Father-in-Law lives pretty much all year. Ours went on for a few days two weeks ago when we had that cold snap. Will probably go on this weekend.

Yup, played dungeons and dragons as a school kid, still plays it now. More nerd, than man.

Ours went on a couple of days ago.

Why 'caved in' - is it an endurance test?

We're contractors FFS - surely we earn enough to keep our families warm!!

I could try and advise, but these things are so specific to the individual that it's very difficult without seeing someone's movements, especially if you've had keen pains since childhood. What I would say is this; every sportsperson, including the top athletes, has aches and pains as nobody's body is perfect; as long as it doesn't stop you doing what you enjoy then don't worry.

You might think of doing some exercises on each side of your body where you do a little more on the weak side than the strong side, but getting rid of a difference in strength between two sides can take a very long time and you have to wonder whether it's worth it; you'll always have a dominant side, and believe it or not it can be different in lower body and upper body (although my old teacher on the fitness trainer course would shoot me for saying that). For example; many sprinters have a stronger left leg if they're right handed, as most start with the left leg forward in the blocks; they can train like mad to get both legs even but it just doesn't happen as they instinctively 'kick' into top gear with the left leg. Same goes for tennis players whose right arm is stronger. Actually, when researchers do strength and muscle girth measurements they find that most right handed men's right arms are stronger than the left. I'll leave you to guess why; it's not a neurological thing.

I'm waiting for the Autumnal Equinox. Luckily it's tomorrow

Although I did stick the fan heater on for a bit a couple of nights ago

Ours is back on the morning/evening settings - on at 6am off at 7.30, on at 3.00pm until 8pm.

however people in our house keep getting confused by the big button for heating and think its just a 1hour boost. so if its pressed at 9pm then it will stay on until 7.30am, it just moves onto the next timer settings.

Not me, but I have caved in and closed the bedroom window at night
