Hello everyone, sorry I'm late, and thanks for waiting. My hip is a lot better, but it still hurts to sit at my desk for too long, so I had to arrange my laptops so that I could watch from the sofa. What have you done to your hip? I have done something to a muscle, apparently, but how I don't know - I did nothing the day it started. But sitting at my desk has definitely made it much worse. Good to know there's been a bit of improvement. Might be worth finding a physiotherapist. I was thinking about that. But yes, it is good that it seems to be responding quite quickly to rest and painkillers. I am booked to teach a course at a summer school at Keele in a couple of weeks time, and I want to be fit for that. Keele! Just up the road from me! It's a nice campus and I generally enjoy it. Where are you? Edited by AnneArthur on 18-07-2024 19:04 |

They breed 'em tough in the US of A - no sign of panic in anyone, even though they're supposedly going to be blown up within minutes. If this was a British sub they'd have stiff upper lips too. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

It's a good place for that sort of residential course. Ours used to be in Keele Hall, although there were rumours that it was going to move this year. |

Yes, but a British sub WOULD blow up at the end, whereas Americans have to have a happy ending. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I twanged the muscles in my calf last week. Coukd hardly walk but we were booked in to visit a schwingmoor and I wasn't go to miss that. Deep heat, deep freeze and stretch exercises in swift order. Yes, lots of ice packs! What's a schwingmoor, if I may ask? |

I think the flying sub is probably about the same size as Ensor Junior's ship - cosy - room for two.

My brother was in his sub when it went into an almost vertical dive. If they hadn't followed the proper procedure, he'd be still down there. He said there was no time to be afraid. They just followed the orders.

When they got into port, he and a few other lads had crossed the equator for the 1st time so they had to drink a yard of rum....my brother got down to the bottom of that!

You can't contact the Admiral? I don't think that kind of walkie-talkie would work underwater anyway, Lee.

Hadn't 'the bends' been invented in the 60's? You can't go straight to the surface, even in an 'experimental' suit.

Is that the end? So Kowalski had just lost his nerve? I was expecting that he would have been taken over by some alien entity, or something esoteric like that! |

Maybe making him a coward is an attempt to redeem the family name after what he did to Blanche. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Right. How many more of these can you take? And do we want to have the Vincent Price one next?

Nice to have something non-supernatural for a change. I'm happy to continue for a few more weeks, and yes, we definitely want to have the Vincent Price one at some point. |
