You have to slow down and only skate curbs and bankies haha. A friend was showing me his elbow full of crunchy bits of floating bone last night, I don’t know how some people do it they just keep skating and slamming on the same spot until it’s mangled. I’m such a wimp I do everythng I can to avoid slamming.
EDIT: Sorry just realised that’s from August…it was there when I clicked, I guess I haven’t been checking this thread 
We have been green lighted on skating Bute Square in Cardiff by the police. The police tell skaters getting the boot from other spots in town to go there. Council are generally ok with it too, but they don’t ever want to officially approve of it because they say it’s encircled by traffic and doesn’t meet their standards for providing recreational spaces or something. We have had meetings with youth services, police and the council to discuss this amongst other skate issues. The general view is that it is the best compromise for everyone to allow skating at Bute.
I think it’s a very big jump from getting an informal agreement to anything official, but good luck!
Aye, it’s just one of those things where there’s a bit of red tape involved and jurisdictions get crossed since atleast here the police/pcso’s/etc are the ones who know the actual reality of it/the area, and the council wardens etc are just pretty much doing what they’re told. It’s also a bit shitty when some wardens don’t give a fuck and walk straight on, and others adhere to their rules pretty strictly. I’d settle for the informal agreement and I’d hope the council can see the obvious solution esp with police/local backing but this is the same council that gave the position of Traffic management/roads/etc to someone who doesn’t even drive…
Got a badly sprained thumb, which I’m starting to suspect might be broken. Cant’ drive/ride a bike/do anything with it. Will probably give it until after the weekend for any signs of improvement before spending 12 hours in A&E. At least the weather’s gash I wouldn’t be able to skate anyway.
do you need a thumb to skate? grabs are so 1980
Dead Dave wants a word with you.
(words added for character minimum)
Smacked my head skating a mini ramp. Now sat in a busy A&E.
I feel your pain, I had to go back in on Thrus… 18 hours! I’m now back on a ward. Hopefully you should be a lot faster if you’re not waiting on a bed, best of luck man. Hope you’re okay!
Cheers dude. Only a head bongo that bled for a while. Thought it would be best to check. Really busy and lots of poorly kids here.
Gutted you are back in. Hope things are progressing your end.
Yeah, yeah only here to get some treatment faster, so all good. Glad you’re not to bad, back home yet? Got an OAP kicking off on my ward! Ah sleep I remember you well, haha.
Still here. Been seen but have to wait to be glued up.
And so begins the winter office radiator wars
Christmas present (Lego set) delivered today by postman.
Mrs G took it upstairs to hide from kids.
Bottom of box absolutely soaked in black ink.
All up the stairs and in our wardrobe.
Fuming.
Fuck the Royal Mail.
Need to go the way of the royal family and fuck off.
If they think I’m going to beep my car horn at the picket line again when I drive past em on the ring road again they can get to fuck.
I love couriers.
Having to turn the heating on in the living room. It’s so cold and I can’t even make the stupid storage heater work.
My dad came and dropped Bday pressies for Arthur off and was shivering in my flat. Iv got used to it, probs time to give in anyway and turn it on.
I don’t think the fact the place is freezing is making me hugely motivated to do things.
It’s really hard to concentrate when it’s too cold. There’s actual science behind it! Something to do with your body using energy to warm itself…I think. Not 100% sure it’s pretty cold here too!
I’m guessing they’re blacklisted in your household now?
Get it…
We’ve had to have it on pretty much every day for the last week or so now, our boy was saying he was cold. I can’t put him through that.
I’ve made sure to turn all of the radiators off in rooms that we’re not using, and to have the heating on as low as possible. I think the max we’ve put it on is 19 degrees or something.
I have a fucking storage heater I can’t make work. Currently can work out how to heat the smallest bedroom. Looks like I’m camping out in there.
If little man was here all the time would be different. I can deal with it to an extent. But it’s 1 Degree outside.
Ah mate, hang in there.
