Re: Snow watch
I walked the 3 miles to work (Edinburgh) this morning in snow that varied between 2-10 inches deep.

Re: Cannulated Screw hip repair
I suspect I succumbed to Stockholm Syndrome in the hospital. I had three days of pretty good care (although no information) followed by three completely unnecessary days of effective holding against my will at huge unnecessary expense to the NHS. Believe me, as an occupational therapist who used to...

Re: Winter Commuting Poll
The year before last, my neighbour came off his bike on ice, broke a couple of bones in his foot, then developed a DVT and nearly died. Last year I came off on black ice, landed hard on my coccyx and couldn't sit down comfortably for a couple of months. I am being very wary this year and once we get...

Re: . . . why we lean?
You have to keep your centre of gravity within your base of support. As the bike turns, the centre of gravity moves and the base of support changes. So you lean to realign the centre of gravity.

Re: Grumpy Old Women
Recently I went out with a group to celebrate an old friend's 47th birthday. For some reason or other he chose to go to a new bar which was very trendy and specialised in expensive cocktails. I was remarkably restrained and just had a couple of glasses of wine and my friend seemed to be pacing hims...

Re: Cycling in the dark.
That was replaced with a B&W Ixon IQ and not surprisingly it blows the other two out of the water. It's very bright and the rechargeable batteries last for ages even on full power. Even better is the beam pattern, which has a nice cut-off to prevent dazzling other people and focuses the light w...

Good luck.
This is really important. If you don't do the exercises, you'll never get full flexion back.

Re: What ever happened to the Gentleman?
I punched him in the face knocking him to the ground. ...I was just defending her rights. No you weren't. Defending her would have been pushing him away. He assaulted her, you assaulted him. I think if a women touches a male stranger it's acceptable because he can defend himself, but if a man touch...
