I remember slipping and falling straight on my back in the snow once (late eighties) and did summat to my lower back. Used to take me about 20 minutes to walk to work, but for about a fortnight, it took me almost an hour to and from work. Couldn't afford the time off. Doc had gave me a sick note, but I ripped that up as I came out of the doc's surgery. Always seemed to be worse first thing in the morning, but generally eased a bit through the day. Doc did prescribe codeine tablets which did help, but the side effects when combined with alcohol, weren't too good (as I found out the first Saturday night in't pub)

lol had a inguinal hernia op a couplea years back. after a couple of days laid up at home i got borred and went to the bar. took me about 20 minutes to walk the less than 5 minutes distance haha. got a staff taxi home though

backs wayyyy better now. back at graft and all that. went to the gym and got a new programe worked out for me to strengthen up that muscle that i hurt.

Good news fin, don't over-do it now.

I remember you said that his was an upper back/shoulder problem, but stomach muscle exercises are always well worth doing - they help to support the lower back and avoid the very common problems in that area which so often afflict manual workers.

aye the lass didnt put any on of those sort of excersises on the programe. but i could always jump on the other machines and see what happens

Wine-o,watch a few episodes of "I'm alan partridge" Geordie gadgie on that as well,same lingo as fin and just as incomprehensible. It's almost as bad as that cockney stuff the vagrants from laandaan use...

Isn't that normally followed up with a Glasgow kiss whilst the oppo is still trying to work out what you said??

I used to pay Scottish Power for my gas and electric, (until they f**ked me over one time too many), they used to phone on a regular basis to try and get me to convert back to them - I could never understand a word of their Jockspeak on the phone, after asking them to repeat something for the third or fourth time I just used to put the phone down - it was kinder all round: and I'm no longer allowed to answer the phone - so that's a result too - I hate the damn things.

AJ, not quite a Cockney - but definitely a Laandaner.
