Random Irritations

[Kellfire]

Shin splints.

My attempts to shift this gut I’ve put on in the past year are partly thwarted by my inability to exercise properly regularly. All the stretching in the world doesn’t prevent it and ice packs on both legs aren’t doing as much as I’d hoped.

A toilet that won't stop filling when you flush. Only noticed it on the way out to work and not sure why its suddenly happened or what I need to do to fix it. Was hoping to play in supper club tonight but that looks unlikely as HID will insist on me doing something with it

I get that occasionally with one of mine., a sound thump on the cistern usually cures it for a long period of time

Got a letter from the bank today informing me of my bank charges for the year.
1 envelope, 4 pages of, probably, legally required blurb plus postage to tell me that I've had no bank charges this year.
Thanks.
I knew that already
You didn't have to tell me via £2+ worth of stationery, printing and postage...a simple email would have sufficed.

Who's that? I'm Halifax and it's.pretty much 100% paperless

I hope you're not on a meter.

Bloke over the road has obviously fitted a new doorbell using the same frequency as mine, I've answered the door to no one 3 times in the hour I've been in.

It’ll be good exercise for you mate!

But not as good as looking for your ball...

That's funny! We had to change our doorbell to be anything but a ding dong typical tone as Barley goes nuts when it goes and every doorbell on TV sounds the same.

I can assure you it is not funny.

A mate who never checks his phone. Oh well, I’m offering him a lift so he’ll have a walk in the rain if he doesn’t look soon...

Having a pack of "alarm dogs", we've never needed a doorbell.
Trouble is they don't realise the difference between pigeons, squirrels, cats, verses humans at the door.

Tried a foam roller? I had the same issue and it helped, as did a proper pair of running shoes.

Yep I’ve got a foam roller which I can only describe as the most painful thing EVER when used on the front of my shin when my shin splints is flaring. Is seems to help alleviate any pain or stiffness I have at rest but exercising soon brings it on again.

I’ve had two proper cool gel packs delivered from amazon today and they’re in the freezer ready to be applied after I get back from football tonight. Fingers crossed.

Ongoing issue with people who say 'my bad'.

YOUR BAD WHAT?

The upside is that he is now answering his door to no one...

Yep, foam rollers are horrific but they seemed to stop the pain when I was running so just screamed through it.

Surely the context tells you...

Oops, my bad.

I try to get my girlfriend to massage my shins hard after exercise but she’s really squeamish about some things and complains that my tibias are “too sharp” and she hates how she can feel the lumps and bumps that are the shin splints. Haha.

A customer had the same problem with his wireless heating controls , turned out his neighbour's was set to the same frequency. He was turning his off, neighbour turning it back on for weeks..
