....you can't/shouldn't mosh anymore.

9 hours at the QEH yesterday after blowing my left knee out Saturday night at Grinspoon. Lateral meniscus* in my left knee. FFS.

Remember after an injury No:
H - Heat
A - Alcohol
R - Rubbing
M - Movement

Treat it like a Blue Light disco disco, blokes up against the wall just moving side to side heads moving in time to the music looking for a "stray to cut from the herd". No?

There's no shame in it!
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Going back over this thread and reading some of the stuff is so good.. great to remember when times were simpler and more fun - so many little memories that shaped childhood, that honestly probably taken for granted and I feel like it's lost these days.

It's funny too, so much stuff you seem to forget, but then you read these pages it's like oh shit yeah I remember that / doing that etc.. like a core memory coming back. :lol:
