Irn-Bru? Scottish Blethering Thread

Cheers Ed, it's only a possibility atm thankfully. I've had a pain at the base of my thumb/wrist area for about a week and I haven't bashed it at all so not sure what could be causing it. They said to wait a few weeks and if it persists they would x-ray it and do bloods - Fingers crossed (if you'll pardon the pun!)

Ever tried to get somewhere without a car, especially when public transport sucks, buses don't take bikes, you're as disorganised as I am, or you are carrying things that can't be carried on a bike? :P

You did deliveries by bike, right? :}

Nope cause I've been driving since the age of 17

If i could do the deliveries on the bike I would

Hope it all clears up without the need for the tests Harry/Ross.
If not, you'll just need to move to somewhere warm and dry .

It had to be moved back to it's original location to see if it was connected with the duplication issues we had a while back. It's with the insert button, so three right from the smilie one...

Aha; so it is! Thank you SNSSO..

I guess I can no longer claim to be a youth then... my GP tells me I may have early onset arthritis in my left hand (though it is early onset, so that's something right?!)

Sorry to hear this, it's not going to be easy if it's confirmed.
A few years ago I went to the GP after months of pain in my right hand, similar to you, at the base between the thumb and the index finger.
I thought I injured myself at work. Got sent for an x-ray, got told I had signs of arthritis "expected at my age" ... the cheek!
I dismissed this diagnosis with a "wot does he know anyway" but the GP was right.
My digits have started locking unexpectedly, when that happens I have to unlock them with my other hand.

That sounds a bit awkward/painful to put it mildly Pat.. Especially in your line of work.

Yes, it happened once when I was holding hot liquid, but now that I know how it happens I can control it a bit.
Bet it's worse if you have to type all working day!

Driven into the back of many Royal Mail vans?

Thank you! I wondered where that had disappeared to.

On the road again!

Wee trip to Arran today. Chilly start and a bit cloudy. Highlight of the day was sitting in Lochranza listening to the sound of stags rutting
