Re: rotator cuff injuries

Did my rotator cuff at rugby in much the same way you described, arm above my head and took the impact of a tackle flush on my shoulder. Did physio for a couple of months then just went about my own gym work after that. A year on and it hasn't worked out too well, still don't have full mobility, sti...

Re: " but I still love the old world"....Where to from here?

My beautiful son, a child who laughed out loud for the first time at five weeks of age, who is infinitely my superior in every meaningful way, is 17 years old and battling clinical depression and the HSC in that order. He is taking Zoloft and sneering at his teachers when they try to help: "I don't...

Re: Genuine picture from Mentawai for Iggy.

Knee to waist, waist to chest, chest to head, head to a few feet overhead, double overhead ... etc. ... is good enough for me. Agreed. Simple, understandable, indisputeable. Numbers just complicate it (and generally make you look like a w@anker whether you over- or under-call it, or just by the act...

Re: Idi ots and mor ons in the surf. So confused !!!!!

I beg to differ KK, I don't think your end theory is correct. By saying 'all idiots are morons', you're inferring that every stupid person is not just stupid, but other people also regard them as stupid. What about those that are stupid but no-one else recognises their stupidity? I would suggest tha...

Re: NO TOXIC SHIP

I worked on the acquisition of this ship a couple of years back when the feds opened tender on it, was working in a NSW central agency and from memory there wasn't much complaint about it back then. It was supposed to bring in a fair bit of tourist cash, provide a site for local divers, and the arti...

I consulted a couple of mates and we determined that it's definitely a surfboard that you found - hope this clears things up a bit.

Re: Surfer HERO on South Coast

If you're not educated on surf matters or not a strong swimmer, it's pretty simple - swim between the flags. This means only at patrolled beaches and only at patrolled times. Leaves the majority of the coastline free for those of us that do have a clue. My gf moved here from England 5 years ago, and...

Re: shark surveillance/communication needed

We need to know if it's a hammerhead, which is pretty safe Maybe I've been given a bum steer - don't hammerheads usually travel in packs, and go into an absolute frenzy when it's feeding time? I think a surveillance/communication system would be fantastic, and it was also interesting to read about ...

Good onya SnT for having the balls to step in when you saw the old bloke in trouble, I'm sure a lot of readers here (possibly myself included) would have turned their back for fear of getting clobbered themselves.
