Christ Xena, I thought my school were martinets.

They used to beat the crap out of us, bet never actually removed body parts.

The school of hard knocks indeed.

it was indeed HonaloochieB and all I did by mistake to receive this punishment was fall off a cliff face on a school climbing holiday


That Mr Black was a real hard nut and took punishment to extremes but it didn't do me no 'arm !!!

Can I just ask - how bored are you exactly ?

I suspect your observations have been made at night when there is a higher percentage of drunks rolling out of the various pubs and bars on Lordship Lane. Alternatively it could be the number of people who go running down Lordship Lane without proper running training and thus are now carrying injuries. I suggest you contact a local physiotherapist for their thoughts on the matter.

Next you'll be telling us you've just spotted a 3-legged Australian go past by the name of Jake The Peg.

Don't be silly.


But the count since my last post (And I'm afraid I failed to check the whole time) is:


1 man and 1 woman with sticks (left leg)

1 man with a stick (right leg)

1 woman with 2 sticks (both legs)

1 woman with crutches


Add those to the ones I posted earlier and you've got to admit. That's a lot of dodgy legs in one day.

    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
    • It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.
    • A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
