The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Might be another 3 weeks till the next one! At least it gave the foot a relative rest.

What'd you do, take it off and leave it behind?

He's long gone now but he head-butted me and one of the teeth on either side of my two front teeth snapped clean off.

Couldn't have a crown as the root was split straight down the middle too.

Effing (sorry @Dave7 ) hurt.

No f*kcing swearing on here please

I didn't realize this could be done. A man has described his shock at returning to his house and finding it stripped of all furnishings after it was sold without his knowledge.

Only very slightly related but this reminded me of a prank we used to pull at college.

If two people from the same residence hall went away for the weekend and occupied rooms above each other things got swapped around.

A team would gain entry to both rooms, swap and identically place the contents in the opposite rooms.

When the occupants arrived back they'd be intercepted, persuaded to go to the pub with a bunch of "friends" and plied with large amounts of alcohol, sufficient to significantly disorientate them........

The male and female halls where next to each other. The classic move was from one dorm to another.......a lot of people in on that one.

Ok people. Why is one of my posts awaiting mod approval on another thread about removing helmet or not after an accident if the helmet has lights ?

I presume it's because it has the word helmet in it.

Obviously, I haven't seen your post, if it is "awaiting approval" but:

Presumably not because of the word "helmet", because I can see your post quoted above.

Could it be that removing injured persons helmet is, perhaps, not advised/best practice?

I am not first aid trained, nor medically trained, so, I have no idea what the right thing to do is.

Perhaps. I didn't actually comment on the rights and wrongs of taking a helmet off or not. But they are quite a contentious subject

I've no idea but I found a new forum I didn't know about. All I can say is WOW! Lots of aggression in there.

So did I. I guess my post was not accepted.

Because they're all treated the same. The mudslinging got out of hand years ago.
