I Don't Believe It? - Guest - 19-10-2009
[color="#8B0000"]Hello All.
May I start a new thread?
Anyone may write stuff here.
I called it "I don't believe it" after Victor Meldrew. The star of that old TV show "One Foot in the Grave".
Nothing ever went right for Victor and he often exclaimed "I don't believe it", which became a catch cry throughout Britain.
Anyway here is the first "I Don't Believe it".
This happened in England just recently.[/color]
[color="#FF0000"]Today's edition of You Couldn't Make It Up comes from Yorkshire, where a farmer has been fined £150 for 'failing to meet the psychological and ethological needs' of a cow.

HAHAHHA!! that's ridiculous.. what is the world coming to!?
I Don't Believe It? - t-pot - 19-10-2009
Here's a topic to cause some controversy... the smacking debate..
[url="http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/875834/wooden-spoon-mum-sparks-smacking-debate"]http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/875834...smacking-debate[/url]
Personally I think it's over the top - children have been getting smacked by spoons and worse for decades. This topic has only received such publicity as schools have mandatory child abuse rulings.
Or was this thread only for the insanely ridiculous??

I remember my mother beating me so hard that she hurt her hand and I also remember that being the day I felt like a real man.
I Don't Believe It? - glen - 20-10-2009
Hahaha. I got the wooden spoon! We got threatened with the strap at school but I never actually got it.
I Don't Believe It? - glen - 21-10-2009
Hahahaha. That is like betting on a horse to come last. <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Tricked-Out Treat! Galpin Auto Sports builds Halloween-themed hearse
[url="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/galpin-auto-sports-halloween-themed-hearse"]http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/galpin-aut...n-themed-hearse[/url]
We generally don't think of a hearse as a great platform for customizing, but then again, we've never known Galpin Auto Sports to shy away from messing with anything on four wheels. That's why we weren't surprised to see this specially-built conveyance of corpses constructed by the Southern California customizer. The hearse features a Halloween theme including dozens of hand-painted skulls on the front and side, as well as a spiderweb grille. It's not all spooky, though, and Galpin has made the interior an inviting place to be, with a working barbeque, chilled cooler, and a flatscreen TV all in the coffin. Not a bad place to spend your last few hours above ground!

ah... i wouldn't know - i am no longer a part of ambo land! I resigned on account of my back injury..
I Don't Believe It? - iblis.raeb - 02-11-2009
Unfortunate news, t-pot... are you on extended hiatus or looking for less physical employment?
I Don't Believe It? - t-pot - 02-11-2009
yea, moving into the teaching field hopefully, less lifting!
it happened at work, a lower back injury from lifting patients. It's a disk bulge which is bad enough for me and if i lift anymore it's quite likely to prolapse and require surgery. Osteo and more recently chiro which claims to be able to fix the problem more or less - which'd be lovely!!

[quote name='PeterJMelb' post='21728' date='Nov 3 2009, 11:35 AM'][color="#008080"]Hello T Pot.
How are you going to "just switch" professions?
Good luck with the Flexion Distractions. It sounds like a good option and relatively safe.
I am not a fan of Chiro people, I much more prefer Physios.
It's a wonder that your previous employer did not help you heal seeing that it was a work related injury.
And one would imagine it is a common injury in Ambo Land!
What did they say to you?[/color][/quote]
ah they didnt make me leave or anything, it was entirely my choice - i simply didn't want a lifetime of workcover..
im doing a grad dip next year to get into teaching.
I was quite sceptical of the flexion distraction also, but now, after about 4 weeks of treatment I am finally seeing a real improvement!! it's great!
I Don't Believe It? - glen - 05-11-2009
I am seeing an osteo for my neck. They are OK i guess. Though pricey!!!

what's the matter with your neck?
I Don't Believe It? - glen - 05-11-2009
I was in a car crash. I got whiplash! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />
I never tried chiro yet. My doctor was clueless and did not recommend anything.
I might give acupuncture a go one of these days!

[quote name='PeterJMelb' post='21770' date='Nov 5 2009, 04:41 PM'][color="#800080"]Hello T pot.
Good news with the treatment!
Does it hurt?
How many sessions during the four weeks?[/color][/quote]
Approx 3-4 sessions a week, and the first 3.5 weeks hurt like a b***h!! it was really bad during the treatment and even afterwards was much worse than before i started! but now feels sooo much better, im glad i stuck with it =)
