What's this about the mums in Byron Steve. Do they also give you anaphylactic reaction.

That's bullshit they don't all live in Byron Bay. At least some of them live in Avalon.

hey i'm getting old too nick.
More gracefully than I perhaps.
I don't know about that. I think I do alright mostly when on my own, but in social situations my graces often abandon me. I blame other people.
Fcuk, in social situations I can barely speak.

Murfers. Fcuk I wish I hadn't clicked on that link, or the vanity fair one it linked to.
Same here - that just sucked the life force out of me.

Anyway will their husbands now be known as "Furfies" ? :oops:

If Steve's soccer coaching skills had them queuing up, it'll be like the Boxing Day sales once they see his surfing ability.

Easy to hang shitt on, but beats the pants off catching a bus in and out of Wynyard two hours a day.

What is a high-ankle sprain?

OK fantastic I was itching to answer this

Above the ankle itself, the two bones of the lower leg are wrapped and held in place by a large ligament sheath called the syndesmosis. This is kind of key to the integrity of the ankle joint itself.

A "high ankle sprain" is a sprain or complete rupture of the syndesmosis, such that the two bones (the tibia and fibula) are either loosened or completely drift apart and the joint is thus compromised.

It's a fcuking cnut of an injury. If the syndesmosis is completely ruptured it usually requires surgery, involving pinning the two bones back into their normal positions vis a vis each other while the ligament heals correctly. This takes two months or so during which your movements are pretty limited -- when you've got two titanium screws through those bones, you don't want to be twisting around on that ankle for instance. They then pluck out the screws and after a couple more weeks you can begin to return to normal movement.

If you don't get the surgery and the rupture is mis-diagnosed, the injury can go on irritating you for years.

The high ankle sprain is an impact injury usually requiring considerable force suddenly applied to the base of the ankle or the heel along with a twisting movement. NRL players, trail riding motorbikers, and people who surf Pipe and other thick hard-breaking reef waves are typical sufferers.

It often accompanies other lower leg injuries in various fracture patterns. I fully did it when suffering a severe version of what they call a Maisonneuve fracture of the right fibula and ankle, surfing in Hawaii a few years back. Every ligament in the ankle ruptured along with the syndesmosis and I broke the fibula up near the knee, along with the tibia at the base and the ankle bone they call the medial malleolus which still has pins in it.

So there.

To root and to hate at the same time.



Looks like they have made onto the Beetoota Advocate :lol:

Thanks Nick, pretty sure I don't have that, but I'll shine a really bright torch down there tonight.
