bertracoon Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I put my back out a few years ago and the physio advised me to do this as it helps strengthen the muscles around the base of the back. Have to admit I felt a bit of a plank doing this, but sometimes it's justifiable. Just. Also, can be used to help strengthen knee or ankle injuries. Also done it in the past and also felt like a dick doing it Quote

Taffin Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 People who block the whole pavement when waiting for the bus. Wait in the bus stop for your tramp wagon and let other walk along the pavement. Also kids on the promenade weaving all about the place, it's a cycle and pedestrian route and their parents should be more aware. Kids in general. And parents. Quote

ArcticJambo Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Cyclists on the Promenade cycling far too fast. There are kids rightly walking/playing. When I originally lived down in Portobello in he late seventies cycling on the prom was forbidden. That rule should be re-introduced for adults. They czn cycle on the roads and scare motorists instead. Quote

The prom is plenty wide enough for all, yet you get mum and dad walking with 3 kids in a big line right across the whole thing whilst junior weaves back and forth on his scooter. They should just partition it like in Los Angeles or middle meadow walk, nice and clear and safe for all. Quote

Ohh, I agree with you on the line walking - that does my head in too, in fact, on any 'walkway' (wrt anymore than two abreast). To be fair, most cycists are decent on the prom but on busy days, of which there were many this summer, best to avoid the area until later in evening. Quote

Quint Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Charity packers at supermarkets do my head in. When they are not there the supermarket offer free assistance. When they are there you are extorted out of a quid to have your shopping badly packed by an 8 year old. Quote

Ragnar Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 People that moan at me for not showering daily. Why do you need to shower daily? Will you get ill and die if you don't shower every 24 hours? Our ancestors survived weeks on end without washing themselves, why should I be any different? Quote
Craigieboy Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Women in Asda licking their fingers then separating the bags. Then touching all my shopping with their spit hands. Absolutely horrific and I really cannot understand why the stores allow it. Animals. Quote

Guest GhostHunter Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Related to Ragnar's stinky dilemma... The fact that deodorants claim 48 hour protection My arse. I might get 4 hours protection if I don't exert myself. Quote

Do you brush your teeth? I don't start to smell until day 3/4, at which point I will shower. Showering daily just seems pointless. You shower twice a day? Jesus.

Chrambo Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Yesterday, I had a shower when I woke up. Then a shower after the gym. Then a shower before I went on a night out. Madness. Quote
