minor things that make you fume

He's thinking of paying for the operation himself.
He's so unhappy with his quality of life having been so active.
Tell you what, that's not a cheap do like, but hey, don't blame him in the slightest. His own dad lived until mid 90's and I'd guess the prospect of 20 odd years pain ( if you live that long like ) Dosent sit well with him.

Out of curiosity how much do you pay for a new one?

In Belgium it's 700-900 euro, if you're part of a ziekenfonds. If you have an additional insurance it's free off course. [I know this because a friend of my grandfather just had a new one.]

I will find out the exact price mate.
Think the aftercare is what bangs it right up.
It's the same docs who do NHS operations too ( I believe )

Tis usually.

I had the snip many years ago at BUPA, (8 month waiting list on the NHS), and I was told chances are its the same team doing it anyrate.

And when they said "team" i did feel quite proud in a bloke way!

I was booked in for the ship.
Bottled it big style on the day.

Googled problems night before didn't I, ffs.
 

my arl fella got a bike for his birthday, ive spent the afternoon piecing it together for him, putting things on, then taking them back off after realising some else needs to go first...

theres noway I can see how the front mudguard will fit, and ive had to re-route the front brake cable after it was twisted round all the others when they originally put it together in Taiwan !

any ways, took the brake lever off , heard a 'ping' and realise its the return mechanism pivot spring.

can I get the bugger in properly, can I hell.

after a full hour of efffing and blinding ive given up, before I smash the whole bike up.

some kid at the bike shop will probly do it in 5 secs.

AAARRGGGHHHHHHHH
 
@COYBL25

after going thro things with me dad, weve realised that the forks, that were already set up before arrival are in back to front.

would also explain the front brake issue.

I should really have noticed this, but when they come fitted from the factory I wasn't looking at having to turn them round.

dear me

The moral of this story, is don`t attempt to assemble anything, whilst under the influence of Frosty Jack :hayee:

I used to refer to this as the ‘paint the pilot thing’. Used to make those Airfix kits when I was a kid. The step by step instructions always said glue the pilot in the seat and glue the clear plastic cockpit cover on, then it would say dont forget to paint the pilot before gluing him in the seat. I mean isn’t that the point of step by step instructions.......!!!!
 
GPs are being urged by their Royal College to have "incredibly sensitive conversations" with parents regarding children's weight. Sugary drinks, sweets etc.

God forbid they should be told the bairn's too fat or anything.
