Well you just have to remember not to try and wink with your left eye.

Yeah, I've lost 50% of my ability to recover from a social faux pas.

The-Female-Formerly-Known-As-Baby went through a bout of this several years ago, IIRC, it lasted about a month.

A (dropped) AAA goalie joining the school hockey team mid season, taking my boy's number and forcing him to share a number and a spot so he won't even dress for half the games.

and I imagine is unlikely to play the 4 games required to letter.

Yeah I posted this in the hockey mom thread. yeah, i'm REALLY REALY FUCKING PISSED

hector is pissed. thor doesn't know 'cause it's not him and he was in bed when we got home

hec heard the rumors and was already upset, and we were all "well they can't do that (add another goalie) , there are rules about tryouts and not attending them....." but we had no inkling that it would be this bad. how in the fuck can you take a player's number? It's printed in the fricking color glossy program that is the same every game ffs and they have to share a spot? FUCK THE HELL OUT OF HERE. I hope he gets a hernia in both nuts and has to have them amputated.

Sorry, your tribe is so busy I got confused about which be doing which.
So Hector has learned a valuable life lesson, the rules don't apply to coaches, cops and politicians.

I have a cake to put out tomorrow, and I'm in the middle of trying to bake it now and I've managed to totally fuck it up. First it's overflowed, and then I took one tier out and it's not cooked. I hope the other two still in there are going to turn out a bit better. :/ Sometimes I really feel like I just can't be fucked with anything cause everything I touch lately is turning to shit.

This morning, although the boiler ignited, the radiators showed a marked reluctance to start radiating. Aged dad decided to call the plumber (ON A SUNDAY?) to see what could be done.

Now, dad is deaf and having managed to establish something resembling two-way communication, he handed the phone to me. Said plumber asked me to have a look at the pump which is in the loft, so I did.

I'm fairly agile, but I'm quite tall so have to crouch down as I make my way along the roof space. Given that it was a Sunday morning, I wanted to be as quick as possible so that the plumber suffered the least inconvenience.

Unfortunately, despite adopting a gait reminiscent of Charles Laughton in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, I managed to walk straight into a beam with such force that it knocked me over.

I've got a cut across my forehead but, as far as can be determined, haven't suffered any other damage.

End result, a bump on the head and no heating. One is doubly pissed off.



PS Plumber calling in tomorrow AM.

Now I know I'm truly Americanized. You're paying the damn plumber aren't you? Sorry about your forehead. I presume you didn't want to inconvenience the medical profession by getting it checked out, so I hope you iced it and cleaned it out thoroughly -don't want to get any fibres from the insulation in there

True, the plumber will be well paid, but I'm still conscious (in every way ) that it's a Sunday so didn't want to disturb him any more than necessary.

No doubt he would have come out immediately for a burst pipe or similar, but that would have resulted in a huge bill.

There are firms that will turn out at any hour of the day or night but they are hideously expensive.

Our chap has two or three bods working for him and he's worth keeping on side, so to speak.

Yes, the bump on the bonce seems OK, but I didn't want to go to A&E if it could be avoided.

I was compos mentis enough to work out that I didn't have double vision so was probably not concussed.

I made sure that I didn't go to sleep after lunch as I'm not sure if dad would have noticed if I had become unconscious in the medical sense.

Anyway, as far as I can divine, I'm still reasonably coherent, jibber... jabber... wibble...

Concussion often doesn't truly show until the next day. Be concerned if you have trouble sleeping or any headache other than pain from the bruise. And if you have any difficulty concentrating (unless you're reading a gravdigr late-night post )
