Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Thread resurrection time.

OK so not actually running but I've had a sore shoulder and right side of my neck for a while now. I was worried that it was going to stop me swimming and rowing but I've actually been fine with that and that's definitely not how I hurt myself.

I do a desk job and I've been faffing about my seating position and where my mouse and keyboard are and all that. Nothing has helped.

Today the penny dropped. Son No 1 got a dartboard for Xmas. It's up in the dining room where I have my WFH desk. We have a few rounds most lunchtimes, and occasionally when I'm on a break.

I've got a darts injury!

Nellers that is so much better than the injury I acquired a while back, at least yours is sport related! I once acquired a shoulder injury by switching from an automatic to a manual car lol

That's amazing RB21! Well done. ;-)

(Actually I've got an Achilles issue, left side, and I'm hugely relieved that I still drive an auto! I don't know how I'd have got around if I'd needed clutch control at times.)

Maybe take the pic of Thatcher off the dartboard to encourage you to throw less vigorously?
