Maybe. It certainly explains why his head didn't snap clean off but just thought the forces on impact through his chest and torso might have been enough to knock him out. Remarkable that he was able to undo belts, hans, etc. and get out pretty much unaided, whilst on fire, after a hit like that.

How the heck did he remain conscious after a 53G impact?!

I'll PM you code.

dibs wind jacket, PM incoming.

That's certainly true of the advice I've received from the last two physios I've seen, they've both championed active recovery. In my case it basically boiled down to doing the prescribed mobility exercises as soon as I could perform them with no more than 3 in the 1-10 pain scale and walking as much as possible every day.

I've had about 6-7 episodes like this over the past decade or so when my back just 'goes'. It is absolutely debilitating and usually takes about 7-10 days to get back to anything close to full range of motion, in my case it requires prescription anti-inflammatories. I also had to get moving as soon as possible; the more I walked (well, hobbled) the better I felt. Best of luck and hopefully the pain eases quickly.

Re Greenwich Park, great that they've stopped through traffic but it was absolute carnage at the weekend around Blackheath Gate, more so than usual. Charlton Way was totally gridlocked as cars were coming from both directions trying to get into the car park.

that looks great! The more I think about it and research I have to agree with you, don't think I can trust plasterboard with something like that.

Looking for a combined TV unit/desk solution for the living room, something like this but not £10k or anywhere near that!

The wood panel I'm not fussed about, it's more the idea of the clean, three unit solution with a floating desk.

Primary concern (aside from cost) is whether a plasterboard wall can take all that weight, also looking to mount the TV on the wall with a full-motion bracket.
Other concern is around the depth of the floating desk , most TV units seem to be around the 40-45cm depth mark, I'd want the depth of the units uniform but slightly concerned that 45cms isn't quite deep enough to work comfortably... current cheapo table I'm working from is 60cms deep.

Has anyone had something like this done recently or have any pointers on companies that I should be looking at?

Picked this up today. Quite a bit of rust but otherwise doesn't seem to have seen a huge amount of use.

Excellent find, that is a beaut! Will undoubtedly go for silly money. Thankfully it's too big for me or I'd be justifying that six ways from Sunday.

Jaysus! Really living up to that name! Some absolute beauts there but if I absolutely had to pick one, it would be the Zinn, that is stunning!

Lovely barge, looks in really good nick. Every time I see an E38 I get Tomorrow Never Dies driving with the phone flashbacks!

Personally I wouldn't go there, far too much hassle and have heard many horror stories. Right now I'm looking at global equity funds which have sustainability embedded in their investment process, beware of the myriad 'greenwashed' funds out there, 3-5 year investment horizon at a minimum. There are also a few covid recovery funds popping but that's more of an opportunistic play.

Personal opinion, not investment advice.

All for that if there was actual transparency on government spending and it wasn't just going to line the pockets of Tories and their mates.

It's classic 'none for you, two for me' fuckery.

Thanks, Deutsche.

Set off from Cheam on Saturday to do a modified version of the Denbies Wine Estate route by @routes.cc:

Shout out the Nissan Qashqai that brake checked me going down Box Hill, just about managed to not slam into the back of him.

Struggled with having to stay in the saddle on some of the lumpy bits, back wheel immediately lost traction if I stood on the pedals.

You're right, it's impossible to know. But IMO the rigidity of the current furlough system is counterproductive and forces people to be in suspended animation, it gives a false sense of security of things eventually going back to the way they were and for a significant number of jobs that simply won't be the case.

Agree, its a massive factor and optics matter far more than sensible, long-term policies.

A Tory government will never give a decent amount of cold, hard cash to the precariat; wouldn't want them to be financially stable enough to start a business, innovate, etc. now would they?

I'm not saying just cast people adrift, replace the furlough with a generous basic income for an extended period of time that doesn't tie people into waiting for jobs that may not exist further down the line.

Furlough scheme extended through to March, I think this is a mistake. There will be a lot of jobs that simply won't be viable post covid (or at least not in as great numbers) so I don't see the benefit of people hanging on to at-risk jobs. Should be securing incomes, not jobs.

Sorry to hear about your crash and I hope you make a speedy recovery. With regards to price, the sum of cost of the components will not equal (or in my opinion come close to) what someone will be willing to pay for the full build, just how it is I'm afraid. If you're trying to recoup as much of the cost as possible you'll likely have more luck splitting as others have said.

Thanks for providing the link, I've just done mine. From the below it sounds like you get the £6 per week for the whole of the 2020/21 tax year regardless of how how many days you actually worked from home... or am I being thick here?!

And these are finally gone.
