I need to know....

Ugh, I hate it when people say 'aluminum'.

Right on sister, I hate that one also .. Along with 'Nucular', and eve "Tunafish" ,, Surely everyone knows Tuna is a damn fish?

Whilst we're on the topic of wanting to know something, I watched a movie last night where an adult character couldn't swim .. Does anyone know an adult that actually can't swim (not even a little bit)?

Hadn't really thought about it before but I can't think of anyone. I've never liked swimming (put it down to nearly drowning in a pond as a toddler) but I had to learn how to swim in fact I'm pretty sure that swimming lessons were compulsory in all schools when I was growing up...no idea if they still are though.

Know most Primary schools do it in South Aust

Mr Ex-McSpaz can't swim. This is owing to his mother, who would not let him take swimming lessons as a child in case he drowned.

He also cannot ride a bike because his mother would not let him have one in case he got run over.

And I suppose he wasn't allowed to play any of that fuseball either - sure he isn't The Waterboy?

I was young and stupid. And I didn't realise about the swimming and bike riding until we went to a beach in Florida and I said I was going for a swim. He was quite alarmed: 'Don't go out far, I cain't come and get you if you start drowning!'

Yep. Mature age entrants can suggest what field they would like to go into, but I think you must still serve your pennance as a Constable before moving upwards.Minimum of 1 year I believe.

I need to know something...
Be grateful for anyone who can help with an answer (FC?)

2 days out from A Family holiday - A (idiot) Son decided that a fun thing to do at school yesterday would be to jump from a height and try and squash a drink container - result = missing container completely and now having a bruised heel, whinging his a*** off and finding it very hard to walk


I have searched the internet which basically says nothing can be done - just get a shoe pad, or to tape the heel (Found a video on this).

Has anyone had this problem?
Any suggestions the best 'thing' to do with it?

Thanks in advance

[mighty_tiger_79]

1. Nurofen Gel to dull the pain
2. Tell him it's his own fault and to stop whinging or he can stay home

[A Mum]

Thanks GN

Yep already told him that !!

kids !

[mighty_tiger_79]

tell him in a nice way to HTFU

[Footy Chick]

Sorry, no sympathy for stupidity Ma.

bruised heels are a bitch and can take weeks to mend, one of the hardest bones to break but it can be done.

Otherwise, really not much you can do. Stick it in a bucket of ice water for starters to calm down any bleeding.

That's it. Sucks to be him

As MT79 stated a cup of cement normally does the trick.
