The Turkish Get-Up is an amazing exercise for all over mobility, stability & strength.
Why should you do it & what does good technique look like?
This thread answers these questions.

Hey @Tesco, Nice job with your Bovaer trial. That will be me shopping elsewhere for all my groceries in future. The loss of one customer may be no big thing thing to you, but to quote a slogan you might be familiar with: "Every little helps".

Not exceptionally happy to have a Lib Dem MP in North Devon again, but good riddance to @SelaineSaxby who almost always voted with the government against the interests of North Devon constituents usually despite evidence the government was wrong.

Civil servants threaten to strike over job cuts. Most of them never did any useful work anyway, and now with their attachment to “working” from home (being paid to watch Netflix), would we actually notice any difference?

If you can demonstrate that you’re as productive (or more so) working from home, that’s great.
Problem is, most people (especially in public services) are way less productive, and that’s starting from a very low base anyway.
“Your call is important to us.”
Actions speak louder than words. An hour on hold tells me very clearly that the last thing my call is to you is important.😡
(I assume your staff are still “working” from home.)

Got accosted by a group campaigning for electoral reform in the UK yesterday.
Now, I think the system is broken, but what the campaigner couldn’t grasp is the system works for the two main parties and change requires the party that just won to change a system that favoured them.

Wife suggested a show at the local theatre. Masks mandatory. If they expect me to wear a mask to use their service/venue, they should pay me, not ask me to hand over my hard-earned cash for the privilege of being told to put a mask on by some officious t***. We won’t be going.

The worldwide response to new political parties that “we need experienced politicians” means nations everywhere will continue to have governments full of self-serving, corrupt, obscenely wealthy, career politicians who have no concept of the realities faced by average people.😞

Civil servants trying hard to justify working from home.
Too few desks = too many staff
As effective at home as the office? Tried to contact any government service lately? Looked at the backlogs, e.g. DVLA, passport office? Or is that how effective they are at the office too?

My son recently passed #bikeability level 3. We’ve just ridden quiet roads to get to the grandparents’ house and he clearly doesn’t understand the principles, let alone being able to apply them.
As an instructor in a previous life, I’m disappointed but not surprised.

The archbishop is a powerful advert for why Church of England bishops have no place in our legislature, media or wider public life. He should go back to delivering homilies to his tiny, shrinking group of faithful followers.
I thought the Easter message was love conquers all. We should forgive and reconcile. Could the Archbishop help do that instead of sharpening political divisions?

I disagree with a lot of what he stands for, but on this he’s right.
Reading the comments, a lot of people are blinded by their ideology & can’t see the obvious truth he points out: we live on an island. If we don’t produce our own food & energy, we’re hostages to world events.
China in more lockdowns. Russia killing people in Ukraine. The EU very short of gas and oil. What more do we need to get the U.K. government to lead a big drive for more home produced food, energy and manufactures? World supply chains are unreliable.

Hey, @StagecoachSW, here’s a novel idea: how about publishing a timetable you can actually meet rather than one you hope to meet and cancelling buses all over the place. New timetable today and you can’t even meet it on day 1!

Wife just said she wants a “groan” button on FB.
I want one that says, “You can’t be serious that you thought it was a good idea to write that for the world to see, you brain-amputated arse.”
Anyone think that will take off?

In case you didn’t see this in your replies (rightly, there were a lot)…
The best message to send to British Cycling would be to (1) resign memberships en masse, (2) boycott their mass participation events and recreation programmes and (3) refuse to watch events where Team GB participate.
Individual female riders risk their livelihoods…
Seed oils, sugar, “stabilisers”, acidity regulators. I’d happily buy the shop stuff if it was traditionally made from real food. But luckily, my homemade version tastes better (& isn’t filling me or my family with toxic food-like sludge). This goes for pretty much all our food.
I made home-made pesto and the ingredients cost about £800 and it’s not even that great so my life hack today is go to Lidl and just buy a jar for a quid and don’t be a twat like me.
