Morning Rennie

Sometimes it’s easier if you avoid trying to open their mouth and just pull the cheek out and slide the measuring syringe down the side. Hope that makes sense. It’s how you give medication to dogs or children who clamp their teeth firmly shut. They don’t have to open their mouths at all cos the syringe fits down the inside of their cheek.

Oh you are a gem.

Yeah well firstly fuck you and secondly VIVA SUZUKI Bob won. Kinda a win win

Well thats a bummer @MooN Spent a lot of my life ministering diabetics and it’s exhausting because mainly you’re saying things they don't want to hear. Some folk can eat what’s considered an appalling diet and quite simply get away with.. everything. Some folk are as dedicated to a new regime as you could possibly be and still find their natural biology working against them. The hard facts are regardless of biology the test results don’t lie, you can’t show stressors in your blood results if your body can cope with them. So you’re gonna have to make some changes if you don't want to suffer the complications of diabetes. You like your legs, you want to be able to continue using them, you probably like the way your wee willy winky works so don’t compromise your blood flow with dumb ass diabetes. You absolutely don’t have to eat salady shite for the rest of your life BUT you do need to consider the glycemic index of a food, look at some of the cooler glucose monitors out there and TBH losing weight and physical exercise can scare diabetes away for good.

I don’t feel bad, the little bugger said of my poured over Coquilles St Jacques au Provençal - What really? You’re going to eat frog vomit?

No, he said “it’s broken”

Mr Slowly said - what is the point in spending decades building complete trust if you then don’t abuse it for a laugh

So I’m not saying I’m sore about falling for Freds April fool but I can say this cheered me just a bit. All the tools etc for the alps trip were delivered today and my son took in what arrived before he left for his lecture. He said the sportsbikeshop stuff was dry but it had hammered down while he was a uni and some parcels were soaking. We ask him to open them up and check for water damage. He dutifully does. But we think the compressor needs checking that its really working, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree…. Hahahaaa

I dunno I find most IRL people a pain in the arse but I find a lot of things that most would find ‘oh so dull’ interesting. If someone really knows there stuff on any topic I love hearing about the tiny details that only someone in that field would know about, I once spent over three hours listening to someone talk about the intricacies of cider making, I don’t make cider, have no intention of ever making cider and everyone else was bored to tears by the painstaking minutiae, literally willing him to shut up with their stares. I thought it was fascinating. But you would never have guessed that about me wud ya

Rude

Pete hang back, never

Well so far the threads a barrel of laughs

I wouldn’t advocate doing things for the sake of it or engaging with people you don’t like only stuff that floats your boat will do. Anyway like you say things will fix themselves.

I’m amazed he can still bend down and pick the glasses up.

Maybe have a look around at things other people do that you think “thats cool” and if theres a class enrol to see if it suits (that way theres no expensive outlay on tools etc you may never really use), sometimes you even meet interesting people into the bargain. If theres no class books and youtube can show you pretty much everything anyway. You’re not daft so if someone else can make something groovy there’s no reason you can’t too.

Do you have many hobbies (apart from biking) that interest you? Hobbies are well known mood smoothers. There’s great satisfaction to be found in producing things (other than food) and if you have a few you can work on whatever suits your mood at any given moment. Enjoy your ride on Monday.

You bring the flask, I’ll make the sarnies

Alright alright no need to rub it in. What can I say I’m just a trusting fool. I’m already not looking forward to next years April fool now everyone knows my weak spot

Noo I don’t want fucktard corner, I’ll have to spent at least the rest of the weekend in it after Fred’s April Fools

Well I didn’t fall for the one about the scientist who’s discovered how to make people invisible this morning so there’s still hope for me.. maybe
