Pet Peeves

[Kurt Cocaine]

Wife was watching the whole interview last night and while it was a load of bollix, as soon as they started going on about what colour the baby might come out, I had this wonderful  thought that maybe the queen and oul philip would have to end up taking the knee to show that they aren't racist. Of course it won't happen but fuck would it be funny.

Tell ye another thing, any lad that gets dominated by the wife like that really wouldn't be king material either.

Fuck every last one of them. I like the guillotine idea. Retro and it would make a fine spectacle. We could all travel over to watch it or, even better, do it here.

I feel different about the whole thing. The monarchy are an outdated and antiquated system,  but that's kind of what I like about them. I think they should remain as a little window into a bygone era in a world that is hellbent on turning into a bland mono- culture. The ins and outs of their goings on are irrelevant to me, it's soap opera stuff essentially and I find it no more or less baffling that Irish women and gays take an interest in their dramas than they do in Coronation Street. It has no bearing on my life, or Irish life in general beyond that. But the preservation of their oddball rituals and customs is a good thing in a museumy, spectacle kind of way. All remaining monarchy systems, so long as they have no input into real life,  should be preserved for similar posterity.

As for Harry and Meghan retiring from public life by going on Oprah, well, it's laughable. End of story. All the woke shit is merely to be ignored.

And now to the guillotine!

But did we find out what shade Archie is?

[Eoin McLove]

100% Micko Jacko.

[Emphyrio]

Clear as mud, that description. Much like himself, it could be said.

[open face surgery]

Racist.

[Emphyrio]

No no, merely a body shamer.

But did we find out what shade Archie is?

Same shade as Ross Barkley's father

[Emphyrio]

Ah, one of the autumnal Dulux ones. Gotcha.

Back pain out of the blue. It flares up now and then but only after exertion, but there was nothing to bring this on. Fuck getting/being old.

[Eoin McLove]

I know the feeling. Maybe try adjusting your car seat if you drive. I tend to push the seat back too far which I find a comfortable driving position but might well be a contributing factor, along with 16 years of physical labour in work, of course. I've become more aware of my posture in recent times, bending my knees and keeping my back straight,  which really makes a difference, too. A few sit ups if you can manage it should do no harm either.

Back exercises, especially lower back exercises are a great way of staving off the dreaded back problems.
Any amount of tutorial videos on YouTube and such.
Also, a back roller is a great job. Manipulates everything back into place and only takes about 20 minutes a session. A couple of sessions and I'm usually right as rain.

I'll look into it, cheers. I was walking back from the post box, less than 5 mins. away and it just hit me. The Neurofen's kicking in nicely now.

Don't despair too quickly, I was suffering for about a month there, too much incorrect training form, poor posture etc (I've had shoulder blade pain after a few kilometres of walking since my teens)and after a few of those exercises and doing a few push ups every morning to improve the posture and I'm more or less alright now. I was chewing away at ibuprofens aswell though
