Haven't seen him active on here for days which is unusual, especially so close to game day. Is he ok?
Not sure , he might be deep in college work at the mo , also it's a busy time of year for teachers with all the reports etc . Tried calling him ?
Had a chat with him yesterday on MSN Messenger. He was feeling a little better and then went off to work.
BTW... you guys really should get MSN Messenger!
Hah - got it! But it's the stuff of the devil so I don't use it - I watch the kids waste their life on it 
.
I have it too.
Caught him on MSN the other day, but been a bit quiet since then.

Now we're a country we're run by a..........
See? I'm on it now!

Yep it's a generational thing . Feck myspace too .
I can talk crap on forums all day long though .
yup... its only a waste of time if you use it that way...
I've been intermittently signed off work for about a month now.
Situation is thus.
I have an extra vertebrae in my lower back , and very little movement in the lower three joints and a few near my shoulders and one in my neck. its been spotted relitevely early though its still bad and is treatable.
The injury in the army really set it off and made it worse and stuff since the has bee treating the symptoms but not eht cause
After seven years of compensating for it with carrying my weighton my right but hthat means that even while im asleep my back and shoulder muscles havnt been resting and they've sort of stasrted to give up.
So...
I cant stand for more than five mins without being in a job of pain or awalk for much longer. Ive been seeing achiropracotr and its getting better.
If i dose mysefl with painkillers i can move but im a bit 'woozy'.
So i cant stand or move to teach wihotuh meds and i cant concentrate to put a lesson forwards with so i cant work.
I'll be there on the weekend, how active i am is debatale,

I don't mean to sound like a wanker, but my mate had back problems for years and found that acupuncture worked wonders to relax the overworked muscles.
Might be worth a try, even if you are a sceptic.
Jeez Gareth , what the hot Goth chick population going to do without their weekly "mattress workouts" from you ? 
Seriously though , get up to Churchills, you can sit still, lie down get driven around whatever , as long as you have a good time . Perhaps leave the webbing at home though .
Do you want me to bring a camp bed ? I have the US and UK versions .
Mmmnn. Sympathise with the back problems. My theory is that GP's are charlatans and if Chiro's/Osteo's/Accupuncture helps then there isn't too much wrong (they will run a mile is there is something badly wrong)
In my mid twenties I started having back pain after a motoring holiday to the Isle of Wight in my Citroen 2CV. Doc signed me off work for two weeks to rest it 
In the intervening years it got worse and worse. Chiros and Osteos farted about, wasted weeks going to hospital for physio. Got worse. Doc started prescribing pain killers. Got worse. By my late 30's I was bent double, couldn't sleep lying down. Chiros & Osteos wouldn't touch me with a bargepole. Been working for myself for 10 years so no time off work. I pleaded for the GP to refer me to a private consultant. Booked in for consultation and X-Ray. Best
