what ails you?

[Mr. Tea]

The worst thing about biting your tongue or cheek is having a real card of a dad who says things like "Gosh, you must be hungry!" while you're sat there, whimpering in mute agony.

I don't think I've ever felt a stronger urge to commit murder.

Now everything makes sense

We all become the thing we hate.

(Just kidding, Dad, love ya really - but that's a total dick thing to say.)

Teas got corona. Get well soon but don't spread it around. Droid is right this one doesn't show up for a few days seen it loads now

Got hit by as woman riding an electric bike on the pavement. She was ‘enjoying going fast cos I usually have my kid on the back. I was on my MTB about to join a cycle path. Result - fractured elbow. I’ve broken a few bones in my time but this one is the worst in terms of pain.
This country needs to sort out why grown adults don’t feel safe to ride bikes on the road ffs

Not too long ago it was a source of shame to cycle on the pavement once puberty struck.

Mixed-use pavements complicate matters as they legitimise the principle of mixed use as such.

Anything motorised, other than disability chairs, should require a license, number plate and be restricted to discrete lanes.

I get why it is that people don’t feel safe on the roads. As someone who cycles about 10,000 miles a year I understand. We need to make cycle travel normalised on roads with proper safety measures.
we don’t have much mixed use here so that’s not the reason she’s on the pavement

It doesn't matter whether a particular pavement is explicitly mixed use; that mixed use is generally more prevalent makes using the pavement more acceptable.

Sounds like you'd have good reason not to feel safe on the pavement, either.

Not if you’re in an area where there isn’t much/any mixed use pavement, it’s not like they are having to think whether it might be mixed use or why isn’t this mixed use cos they have little/no experience of mixed use. It’s more a case of people not riding in roads cos they don’t feel safe and therefore the unintended consequence is that no one feels safe on either the road of the pavement.

On Friday I went to Desterro's birthday party, it was so smokey my right eye quickly got irritated and my left soon followed suit. When I left around 7am both eyes were in a lot of pain with tears streaming down my face. Every day since then I've woken to red eyes gummed together with sleep, I've got some eye drops and I've been putting teabags on them so they are on the mend. Even so, today my left eye looks like this

 

[Corpsey]

Had some sort of internal issue this weekend. Wanked on Saturday, viciously hungover, and came blood. Then came blood again on Sunday. And couldn't stop pissing. Pissed about 30 times. Doctor said it's probably nothing to worry about, just drink lots of water. Wanked and came pure white. Now recovering fast. But my god. Coming blood. Like a Cronenberg, in the (new) flesh. Bowel cancer? Bladder cancer? I'm toast.

 

[Corpsey]

Sorry to trump your eye there Rich, honestly it did happen though and I only feel comfortable posting about it now I feel fairly confident I'm not dying.

 

[IdleRich]

No please trump away, that sounds horrendous, though I admire your determination to keep going (coming?) even in those circumstances.

 

[Corpsey]

The second one felt like some sort of experiment, tbh, not an easy one to finish but I'm a mastur operator

 

[william_kent]

Coming blood

in before @martin

this was the name of an Oi! band:


Coming Blood - Such Fun ( from the 1982 compilation album Oi! Oi! That's Yer Lot! )

they had to change their name to The Blood as far as I can recall

Wanked and came pure white.

Was it Sheila who analysed one of your poems and said you were racist?
