They've changed the smillies, they are no longer across the bottom of the reply box, instead we've got a window that opens and we scroll through or use the search box in the window.

MorningJust been to see the diabetic nurse, my blood sugar is up
and she wants me to cut down on sweet things Boo Hoo
and they want me to be on a low dose of metformin as well, but the good news everything else was OK, except for the numbness in my feet, this happened when I damaged my spine way back in 1989, but the numbness has got worse.....still it goes with my name

There's a thread about it in the Support section. Works OK here and the range has increased significantly but I generally use the ones which come with my keyboard.

It works fine here as well but I prefer the old way of doing it.

Good morning. Why do we say "good?" Hmmm??? It's blowing a gale and pissing down - again. We had a ride planned, subject to weather, so yet another one abandoned. I'm getting frustrated.
Today then? On NYE there's a village party for +/- 50. It will be a very good night. I'm helping with the bar 6.30 - 7.30 and contributing food. It's sort of a Jacob's Join but I'm not sure many will do more than pop to the supermarket. I'm making a casserole type dish called Red Hot Beef, it's the colour not the spices. Very easy, tastes great and is always better for being made the day before and reheated. A slow cooker recipe. I need to pop out for some stewing steak and mushrooms. Get that going and then I have to chase a £55 refund from Galibier. They've sent proof it has been paid, nothing has arrived........................

I am plagued by that too. A mixture of herniated discs and whatever further damage my two bouts of sciatica did. I have numb areas down both legs and along the side of my feet and little toe. It’s obviously not going to get any better now after all this time, if anything it’s maybe slightly worse and affects my leg strength.

I’m a member of that club.walking I use a walking pole on my right side Doesn't affect to much cycling but need a knee support on my right knee plus an application of Ibuprofen Twelve hour gel.
Maine problem is I find it difficult to ride out of the saddle on hills so I may have to walk very steep hills using the bike as a large wheeled Zimmer frame
My symptoms are exactly the same but confined to the right hand side
I had a herniated disc back in 1984 Iwas working on a neurological ward at the time So i knew surgery was only an option in very severe cases .Several visits to an Osteopath gave some relief.
