Bruce I run with a compression vest for the nips. Either that or you can use sticking plasters. Use the waterproof ones though as the fabric ones REALLY hurt when they come off.

Cheers buddy. Will do. I know it's easy to laugh at such things but the pain involved is quite disconcerting. It's never a problem unless I get wet (through rain, sweat or both).

Thanks for the nip tip. I've tried plasters (fall off), vaseline, some special anti-friction cream. No success. I'll look into a compression vest.

My mate had the same problem and forgot his plasters so bought surgical tape but couldn't get it off. Went to.the gym with him 5 days later and was most amused. He steamed it off in the steam room in the end.

Will do Bolton tomorrow if anyone's around but will have to skip brekkers. Will give you a call when I'm on my way back down from Keswick on Sunday, Dude, to see where you are. Can't get on one though.

I'll volunteer tomorrow, provided that I'm up in time. Nobody else around for brekkers? :(

I've booked Monday off work in preparation for the hangover from hell. :oyea:
