hi kids

― mitya, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

Hi (Dr) Mitya!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

Hi, Mitya!

Argh, I have been hard coding a mock-up of the horrible report of all things. I just need to reinforce the idea that this gets done ONCE AND ONLY ONCE as I'd shoot myself if I had to do it again - and I've only done one team. Out of about 16. Bah.

Emsk, be careful with tendon things, because it hurting at all is a sign of being something wrong - I ignored my ankle problems for ages because they didn't hurt when I wasn't wearing the stupid shoes. But my ankles are permanently damaged now. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, that is what a few runners' advice sites told me. should i take it to the doctor? but it seems so TRIVIAL :/

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

It's never trivial.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

It *might* be trivial, don't put the fear of God into the poor girl! "ha Emsk, you're fucked", or whatever = not helpful. It may just be because you're using muscles and tendons that you don't normally use.

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Go see the doctor.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

(but, yeah, go and see a doctor)

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

i will call nhs direct and see what they say.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

I wasn't saying it was bad. I was merely responding to emsk when she said it seemed too trivial to see a doctor, that it's never too trivial to see one. Doctors always say to see them if there's something wrong. Better safe than sorry.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

this is true. but they are surrounded by people who think it is their job to keep you away from the doctor. and hackney docs are busy busy. srsly my gp fucking RULES, i really landed on my feet, but his receptionists SUCK, they are so bitchy. in the 2.5 years i've lived there i've been to see him twice, and both times the receptionist was like "you want to see a doctor. for THAT. are you for real?" then he was all "yes yes you are right to come and see me! don't listen to them". weird.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

ooh i put that full stop in a weird place.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

i really landed on my feet

Awkwardly? Was that what fucked your ankles?

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

lol :)

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all!

How's your ankle today, emsk?

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 07:40 (nineteen years ago)

morning! thanks for asking cj, how are you? it's fine because i haven't been wearing shoes that touch the bone... it's weird, the pain feels like a bruise, it's on top of and slightly above/behind the knobbly ankle bone, and it only hurts when there's something touching it. even then sometimes it's just a bit irritating and pretty much ignorable, and sometimes it's ARGH ARGH LEG IS BUCKLING. last night i went for a run (7 x 2 minutes with 1 x 5 minutes at the end, woo! 1st 5 minutes...) and it was completely fine. this morning it's still completely fine.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning, i can't wait to get out. i have to do the washing up first though.

― emsk, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 07:55 (nineteen years ago)

Unexplained pain/weakness like that is really disconcerting - I never know whether I should be worried about it or not. I had this peculiar sharp ankle pain on Saturday which came on quite suddenly and hurt like crazy making it difficult to dorsiflex my foot, but it was all okay again by the evening. Odd. Sometimes I think we pull or strain a muscle without realising it and all it takes is some rest or ibuprofen or a neoprene support for a while, to give it a chance to heal itself. I'm glad your ankle is okay again today!

I'm all bungled-up with cold. How can I be unwell AGANE? I only recently got over flu, and now I'm coughing and spluttering all over again. It's not fair :(

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:05 (nineteen years ago)

hackney docs are busy busy.

why is this? are there fewer docs per capita? Or is Hackney full of ill ppl?

Definitely go see the doc emsk. I have always found it weird here that, in a country with free healthcare at the point of delivery, we say "mustn't bother the doc over something so trivial whereas in, Germany and Russia say, they are rushing to the doc at the v first cough.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning

wish it did here -- Oxford is coated with FOG. and it's chilly again. If 2007 has taught me anything, it's never to be surprised by the weather.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

The fog-on-the-Isis will lift soon, Mark. It's supposed to be nice here later.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

good!

I am going to London tonite to see I'm from Barcelona again! At Koko!

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah go and make sure.

Hari's band has made an ep. He's no 3 on the O1nk charts!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

It's true. Gonna have copies to sell this week. Already got 7 pre-orders!

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:13 (nineteen years ago)

It's on mini-cd with handpainted art and stuff

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:14 (nineteen years ago)

Bloody hell hari. Do you have text alerts when your name is mentioned on here?

Where can we buy them? I'm in for a copy!! "Go Electric" is bloody great!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:15 (nineteen years ago)

I'm awake waiting for garanteed before 9 a.m delivery.

It's 9:17.

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:17 (nineteen years ago)

Spoke to soon.

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

You must have the same driver as emsk gets then!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

x-post

maybe not then. Yours arrived.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:19 (nineteen years ago)

Or is Hackney full of ill ppl?

yes, it is a very deprived inner city area with higher health problems per capita than most other parts of britain.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hi Hari!

WHERE'S YR TRACK 4 ILXVol3?

Regardsssss

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:25 (nineteen years ago)

Spencer Percival if everything Ib wanted it to be, with better production, so much more space in the mix.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:27 (nineteen years ago)

Oh crap, I'll send it now Mark. Whats yr email?

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

higher health problems per capita than most other parts of britain

hmm, I sometimes forget how lucky we are in Oxford. The healthcare system is excellent and we prolly have *lower* healthcare problems than most other parts of Britain. Shame some of the (many) Oxford docs can't move to Hackney to even things out a bit, in that case. It is v rare for me to be unable to get a doc's appointment next day.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:29 (nineteen years ago)

For ages and ages, I avoided seeing Doctors about anything - partly that was due to living in the USA without health insurance, but I just remained doctor phobic even after moving to the UK. I'm lucky in that now I have a very good health centre which my doctor is part of (part of the reason I stayed in the neighbourhood) - but if my recent wrist problems have taught me anything, it's that you should see the doctor when things become a problem. If you put it off for months and months or years and years hoping it will go away, it doesn't go away - it gets worse and worse.

Hackney is patchy - I was on Hackney NHS when I lived in Hoxton, but we had this little mini-hospital practise thing attached to St. Leonards which was great.

I am so sleepy today. I have not got my head around the time change yet. And Ampy filled me with two bottles of wine last night.

My GP is a horrible horrible Chinese man, a rude and obnoxious twunt

― Tom D., Tuesday, 27 March 2007 09:59 (nineteen years ago)

Next time he's rude to you, say "diu lay lo mo" back to him.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:02 (nineteen years ago)

Ah! Aaaahhhh!!! Who has a television who doesn't mind my coming round on Friday night?

My colleague has just told me that there is AN HAWKWIND DOCUMENTARY on C4 on Friday. I must see it! Or can someone tape it? or both?!?!?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:04 (nineteen years ago)

hopefully the internet magic will make it downloadable.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:11 (nineteen years ago)

That does not help me.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:13 (nineteen years ago)

We must try and make downloadable playable on percy.

― Ed, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

I can DVD record it.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all! 4 pints last night, and not even the hint of a hangover!

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:18 (nineteen years ago)

I hate you. Where is the coffee?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

On the stove.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

maybe they're watering down teh beer.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

Correct answer: In the machine. Except someone is banging in the kitchen. Not sure what that's about.

please can someone record the Hawkwind programme, as I do not trust Ed rummaging around in Percy's bowels.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

OK! No doubt I'll forget. But I will try. (absent minded, you know)

― Mark G, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

I wish my nice neighbours still lived behind me, because they would totally watch it, and I could go round there and watch it. My new neighbours are not friendly.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 10:24 (nineteen years ago)

Buy a tv!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

Can you send a cookie of one?

― Tom D., Tuesday, 27 March 2007 11:04 (nineteen years ago)
