Re: Cannot take a trick

I tore my meniscus a year ago, i had whats called a bucket handle tear to my inner part of the meniscus.
It was hard to diagnose even with an MRI, but i found a good surgeon and he trimmed it last March, i'm back running and its good as new.
Best of luck Jimbo.

Re: Boat pain

As a long time boat owner, i've had my good and bad experiences, i'd love another boat, but i need to fill my pockets with a bit more cash first.
Sounds like a great day you had ;)

[quote="ELM"]I think there has been six fatalities from shark attacks in WA since 2011. 1 this year (but Greg Pickering missed out by :shifty: that much. Maybe 3rd time unlucky), 3 in 2012 (that was a bad year) and 2 in 2011. Is that 2 now, for NSW this year? Diggers, this is a maybe; with...
