Googling for episode running order for "Digging for Britain" was a bit unfortunate...who put that vowel next to the "i"....My story and I'm sticking to it, but suspect there's been a few armchair archaeologists had a bit of an eye opener...

I guess it being filmed in the area it is, you’re familiar with the locations of these spots! Could have used you as an ‘extra’?!Worthy4England wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:01 pmYeah me tooGooner Girl wrote: ↑Sat Jan 08, 2022 3:03 pmWhat you get up to in your own time Worthy is nothing to do with us!

If you subscribe to the post code lottery I hope you are aware they have donated £15 million to these two 'charities', friends of the earth and Greenpeace alongside some other questionable 'charities and causes'.

Perhaps BWFC could apply for acceptance as a charity?

Re: General Chit Chat
Anyone know what the rough post op recovery is for a detached hernia? A work colleague has one and I’m covering extra hours til they return. Just wondering how many weeks it is likely to be!

Re: General Chit Chat
I think they said six weeks when I had it done, but I was back to normal after about a fortnight. Just no heavy lifting etc...Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 6:28 pmI hope she does! 2 and 3/4 hours work and over half hour of that is a paid lunch break with a free meal!Worthy4England wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 5:02 pmOh I'd be spinning that out for months...Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 3:54 pmAnyone know what the rough post op recovery is for a detached hernia?

Re: General Chit Chat
Me and wife have both ad two injections plus a booster and a flu-jab. Now she's bought a "lateral flow" test kit, whatever that is. Cotton buds up the nostrils etc. Anyway, both came out negative, so...onwards..Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 12:35 pmJust had my Covid booster from a very nice (non medically trained!) soldier which I was surprised at, though I had read that the army would be helping out. Anyway, I digress, have many people had bad symptoms after their Covid boosters?! I was fine for the first two but lots of friends have been taken out by the booster it would seem. I need to know if I am going to be genuinely ill or whether I need to fake it for a day in bed whilst Mr GG charges round after the kids!

Re: General Chit Chat
Depends a bit on the op and how it went and how bad it was. I’d say a month maybe 5 weeks would be normal. It’s one where for a few weeks after you usually have to lie face down for most of the time to allow the retina to full reattach and I doubt many jobs are compatible with this.Gooner Girl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 3:54 pmAnyone know what the rough post op recovery is for a detached hernia?
