When you think of the tools available when it was put together it is staggering.

That said, I either broke a rib, or tore some connecting tissue between my ribs a few years ago, and what my GP said about it was to listen to my body. He suggested avoiding exercise that would be jarring, such as running, or use the abdominal muscles much, like golf. He said most low impact exercise would be okay, as long as it didn't give me pain. Cycling, swimming, and light weight lifting, he thought were okay, but told me not to lift heavy weights. He also recommended avoiding positions in movement exercise (e.g. yoga, pilates) that stretched the abdomin, or gave me pain.

Well, I am not really asking for medical advice, I just wanted to know how long does it usually takes for the rib to heal and before I can get back to working out and training my muscles, but thanks anyway, I will probably still go to the gym and do some low impact exercises to keep myself fit during this time I have to rest my body. I will definitely take note and avoid jarring exercise.

Re-read your post, it doesn't make sense

Perhaps you could point the errrors I cant see.

What do you have to be to be a UK citizen if not born here?
Is it really all a mstake?
What does such "oversights" do for the UK's standing in the eyes of europeans?

It's a bit out of date now, but still a good book.

It says to start by rebuilding a pedal, which is good advice.

Oh, and get a workstand. It can be homemade, but there were jobs that only became possible because I had the right tools.

In the last two years the value of the pound has fallen about 10% against the Chinese yuan. That must hit margins hard when you are selling at a fixed price. The demise of Poundworld may well help Poundland to survive though.

Call it Guinea World?
