h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Although I am approaching a half-century far too rapidly, I am almost embarassed to report that my left knee is in pretty good nick. Is there something I can do about this?

Madent,

*humbly bows to obvious superior*

I think you should become our fearless leader.



PC,

You're almost 50 and your left knee is still fine??? I suggest you hang out with Madent for awhile, preferably playing sports. That oughtta change the situation.

Legless?



This would seem to threaten exercise, and the like. Sounds dangerous!

hi PC,

Life is dangerous! Heck, Noggin says he bunged up his knee just by *watching* football.

And no, not 'legless leader' - you can't have bad knees if you don't have legs!!! (logic) Though perhaps we could change 'fearless' to 'feckless'.

Hi, az & PC

Despite the injuries, I retain full movement and have little problem with said knee (apart from a wobbly kneecap), so I would defer to someone who suffers on a more chronic basis.

As regards the level of exercise required to sustain such injuries, I can only say that all were accidents and not related to an excessively active lifestyle. If anything, they could all be attributed to a lack of exercise!

I missed my step on the terracing following a last minute winning goal. ish.

Noggin

Hmmmm . . . perhaps Noggin would actually qualify to be our feckless leader after all.

az

I don't know if I'm feckless or not, on account of not knowing what a feck actually is.

And I'm not sure I want to be followed by anyone stupid enough to pick me as a leader. Or vice versa, come to that.

Noggin

Feckless = without feck

Feck = worth, value

Actually, feckless normally means irresponsible or weak and ineffectual.

Anyhow, we wouldn't be *able* to follow our feckless leader because we've all got dodgy knees!

Well, never mind . . .

Noggin - and I'm not sure I want anything to do with people who want anything to do with me - which explains why I'm happy to remain here on H2G2.
Az - I hear that oldies sitting down on skateboards looks very humourous. Care to give it a go? No? Ah, who gives a feck.

Fnord,

Yes, well I was apparently 'stupid' enough to pick Noggin as a 'leader' (though of course it was all just a silly joke).

Sitting down on skateboards? I do prefer to think that this is *not* my fate - yet!

Will let you know . . .

Knee still hurts. But you know, what the feck.

az

Someone remind me what this thread is about, please. I've sort of lost track.

Anyway, as far as I remember, this thread's for talking about randomly arguable points of interest that can usually be linked in a vague manner to a lack of fundamentalism.

Hello Madent

Sorry to hear about your left knee problems, what did you do to it in Fuerteventura???

My left knee is quite stable at present, if I take the kids shopping with me I use a basket, that helps quite a lot, as if I use a trolley they insist on pushing it, usually into other unsuspecting shoppers left knees, I am far to smart these days to let them push it into mine

Had mine drained once, absolute agony and torture.

Hi Matholwch

I am not rolling my eyes at all, but I am curious. When you say "as one who has communicated with trees" can you give some more details please?

Regards

It's okay to talk to the trees. It's not okay if they talk back. Especially if they want you to kill anyone.

Communed rather than communicated, perhaps?

Noggin

The trees once told me to kill a squirrel but i wasn't needed. The trees got it first. Very unnerving.
