On a serious note I just checked his last post from April. It's not what I would call happy.

Spoiler:

Always liked reading his posts, hope he didn't do anything daft.

True, but when someone abruptly disappears from the forum, without even a whiff of a goodbye message, I fear the worst, don't you Tino?

Only when it was me, Jules. Or maybe you mean you old chum Super_Insecure.

Check twitter, could be there.

Though that post was pretty ominous, though in my experience with people actually going through with it, which is unfortunately way too much experience, they usually just crack on and do it with no fanfare or warning.

Have invented a fun new non-yew tree game to play with kids.

When I take my son shopping at t'big Sainsburys, I take him to the toy section first then whisk him away before he's played with everything on offer. Challenge is to see if I can finish my shopping before he runs out of tantrum. Today I made it to the cat food (at the very far end of the shop) and was a quarter of the way back before he calmed down. Wasn't easy as he jams his feet under the wheels of his trike and grabs onto shelves to slow me down.

Thanks, Tino. I hope to get it right one day. The ways of the Men of the North are a mystery to me, what with the usage of 'the' and 't', the strange diet, the murdering of children on moors and prostitutes with hammers, and the love of rugby league and bare-knuckle boxing.

It's mainly shops. All shops start with 'the' and all food is cooked in a pot. Get those right and you'll survive just fine in the north.

He also didn't really need to specify that it was local. Just the Co-op would have done.

What nonsense. I specifically mentioned 'our' to avoid the need for a 't' or 'the' or not.

And, as I regularly venture far and wide, the need for 'local' is undeniable. I could very well visit the Co-ops on Trafalgar Road or Little Heath Road.

I am not dead just regretting volunteering to take youngest son to the vaccination centre to get his arm jabbed, alongside the majority of the other 16-17 yr olds who also got the same letter yesterday. Took 3 1/2 hours.

Now waiting to take elder son to hospital so they can x-ray his shoulder, again (4th time in 3 weeks - hes going to start glowing soon).

She's very nice. The python was lucky to have her shopping on that particular aisle.

Unfortunately I don't know this Helaina but I have a good friend named Helena who lives in Arcadia (actually Fiddletown... which is too funny to mention on here) which is quite close to Glenorie. She's also looks after wild animals and does a bit of artwork on the side.

The shoulder is mending, slowly and he's getting more movement back. However this morning he had his 5th xray in the last 3 weeks. He's got air in the chest cavity outside the lung (pneumothorax). Its not enough to warrant anything invasive but they are keeping an eye on it whilst trying to work out why its there and what they should do. He's back in again on Wednesday for another x-ray and hopefully a meeting with a consultant. He'll also get a CT scan at some point.

The good news is he doesn't have to put the lights on in his room anymore.

I missed you as much as a I miss Jeff.

We were over on the west coast of Scotland for 10 days. Mrs Superfly was supposed to be running a 10k race in Argyle as part of her marathon training but she tore ligaments in her ankle a couple of days before it. I drunkenly agreed on the night before to take her place and managed to fight through a hangover and a complete lack of training to finish in 44 minutes and take 8th place in the extremely elite men over 40 category. Think I was in the top 50 overall out of around 400 which goes to show how disgracefully out of shape Scotland is.

The rest of the time was spent sheltering from rain and imagining what the scenery looked like. Then came back home and had a few days to myself while the kids were at school and Mrs Superfly was working so hired a skip and had a great time chucking out stuff.

I've had a pueumothorax and it was incredibly painful. A bit of a mystery too but I think I tore the lining of the chest cavity through over rigorous exercise or had a weak spot from an infection when I returned from Vietnam and then somehow stretched and tore the lining. Maybe a combination of both. Luckily it was my right side; if it's on the left near the heart it can be fatal. After struggling through work I went to the local GP who then got me rushed to hospital.

They gave me some morphine (or similar) and stuck a stent between my ribs into the cavity. There was immediate relief as the air pressure equalised. I'll never forget the scan of my lung... it looked like a mini inflated airship. Amazing how it regained it's shape once they did the little hole in my side.

Is your eldest son tall? Apparently tall people are more susceptible. I was told I'll never be able to go deep sea diving or climb high mountain. So the Mariana Trench and the Everest are out for me.

Horrible isn't it? At first I thought it was just a bad stitch (which would've been odd because I hadn't been exercising) and I'd just wait it out and maybe it would go away. But it didn't go away. It got worse. I remember being on the sofa trying to watch TV in agony... I tried the foetal position, no relief. That's when it dawned on me that I better get myself down to the medical centre - fast.

The good news is he doesn't have to put the lights on in his room anymore.

I've had a pueumothorax and it was incredibly painful. A bit of a mystery too but I think I tore the lining of the chest cavity through over rigorous exercise or had a weak spot from an infection when I returned from Vietnam and then somehow stretched and tore the lining. Maybe a combination of both. Luckily it was my right side; if it's on the left near the heart it can be fatal. After struggling through work I went to the local GP who then got me rushed to hospital.

They gave me some morphine (or similar) and stuck a stent between my ribs into the cavity. There was immediate relief as the air pressure equalised. I'll never forget the scan of my lung... it looked like a mini inflated airship. Amazing how it regained it's shape once they did the little hole in my side.

Is your eldest son tall? Apparently tall people are more susceptible. I was told I'll never be able to go deep sea diving or climb high mountain. So the Mariana Trench and the Everest are out for me.

I've also had a pneumothorax as a result of an elbow to the chest from a Neanderthal centre-half when playing football. I called him all of the c*nts under the sun between gasping for breath. Really painful and had to go to hospital after three days of constant pain and no sleep.

Horrible isn't it? At first I thought it was just a bad stitch (which would've been odd because I hadn't been exercising) and I'd just wait it out and maybe it would go away. But it didn't go away. It got worse. I remember being on the sofa trying to watch TV in agony... I tried the foetal position, no relief. That's when it dawned on me that I better get myself down to the medical centre - fast.

It's the most painful thing I've experienced . I've cracked ribs and broken both of my arms twice, but the pain from those didn't come close.

How did you son's shoulder x-ray go, Lost?

The shoulder is mending, slowly and he's getting more movement back. However this morning he had his 5th xray in the last 3 weeks. He's got air in the chest cavity outside the lung (pneumothorax). Its not enough to warrant anything invasive but they are keeping an eye on it whilst trying to work out why its there and what they should do. He's back in again on Wednesday for another x-ray and hopefully a meeting with a consultant. He'll also get a CT scan at some point.

The good news is he doesn't have to put the lights on in his room anymore.

He's 19 , slim, about 5'10'' and flexible. The acute medicine doc we saw last week mentioned Marfans which was a bad idea, and hopefully extremely unlikely. But yes we have been told similar and understand that it can happen spontaneously. They keep on asking if he got hit and he didnt, but I suspect it must be linked to the strain on his chest when his shoulder popped, given that the shoulder popping probably occurred with his arm lifting up.

In his case nobody would have known except a sharp eyed radiographer clocked it when they first x-rayed his shoulder. He certainly hasn't had any major discomfort (some minor) and anyway its nothing compared to the dislocated shoulder. Its of a size where they expect it to go away on its own, but it hasn't (yet) and has in fact got a little larger.
